== Description ==
There is not much that can be said which is non-anomalous about the My Way Karaoke Killings due to the fact that it is not an object, but rather, something that affects the minds of people.
The anomalous affects of A-016 are present when someone (Hereby referred to as A-016-1), whether it be at a karaoke bar or their house, is singing karaoke of the song "My Way" by Frank Sinatra. It is unknown how the aggressor is selected. Upon hearing A-016-A singing the song, the aggressor(s) (Hereby referred to as A-016-B) will become agitated and most of the time attempt to murder A-016-A by any means necessary. Currently, My Way is banned from being sung in many East Asian karaoke bars because of these incidents.
This anomaly does not always have an affect on people singing My Way.
== History ==
Frank Sinatra's "My Way" was released in March of 1969. These killings have happened since 1998. There have been at least 12 killings related to singing this song.
Date: March, 2007. Location: San Mateo, Rizal. A-016-B1 (Robilito Ortega), who was a security guard at a karaoke bar, pulled out a .38 caliber pistol and shot A-016-A1 (Romy Baligula), a 29-year-old man, dead.
Date: (???), 2012. Location: Xi'an, China. A-016-A2, a four-year-old boy, began singing the song. This is when A-016-B2 and A-016-B3, two of A-016-A2's uncles, became agitated. They began arguing with A-016-A2's parents, saying they "raised a spoiled child" or a "Little Emperor" as the Chinese say. Soon after, A-016-B2 and B3 began pushing, shoving, and punching the parents of A-016-A2. Not long after that, A-016-B4, A1's older cousin, fled to the nearby noodle shop in which he worked. He returned with a meat cleaver, and began striking B2 and B3 more than 10 times. Both A-016-B2 and B3 died at the scene.
Date: (???), (???). Location: Manila, Philippines. A-016-B5, a police officer, was listening to A-016-A3, his friend, sing My Way. He overheard someone sitting at a nearby table begin to laugh at A-016-A3's singing. A-016-B5 then pulled out his revolver. Fortunately, nobody was injured in this incident.
Date: August, 2014. Location: Legazpi City, Philippines. Not much is known about this incident. All that is known is that A-016-A4 was stabbed by A-016-B6 after an argument about who should get to sing the song.
Date: December(?), 2017. Location: Manila, Philippines. A-016-A5 (Randy Bong Reyes), a barangay chairman, was gunned down at a Christmas party in Tondo. After joking about the danger, A-016-A5 decided to sing the song. Moments later, A-016-B7 and B8 (two gunman on a motorcycle) arrived and called A-016-A5's name. As soon as A5 looked at B7 and B8, he was gunned down. According to Emmy Roque, a witness, "We heard three gunshots, then we hid. Then, someone shouted 'Si Chairman' and another victim was also shot." A5 died on the spot, while the unidentified boy remains in critical condition in the hospital.
Date: (???), 2018. Location: Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines. A-016-A6 (Rolando Cañeso), a 28-year-old man, was about to sing the song. However, A-016-B9 (Jose Bosmion), his 60-year-old neighbor, grabbed the microphone from A-016-A6. A6 then initiated a fistfight with B9. The fistfight had ended with A-016-A6 stabbing A-016-B9 in the gut. B9 was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
After the incident with A-016-A6, the Philippines Congress had passed a bill proposing a curfew on Karaoke in hopes of ending these murders.
== Possible Explanations ==
* The song is sung more often, which could cause more violence.
* People could be hogging the microphone, laughing at other's singing, or singing it after it has already been sung. All of which are breaches of karaoke etiquette.
* The Philippines is a very aggressive society, and could be more easily agitated when people sing this song. However, this occurs in places other than the Philippines.
