Guy at bar knows most of the words to song

MONTAGUE — In a development that has caused awkward stares and eye rolls, some guy at the bar has decided to sing along to the song playing on the radio. Mostly. 

The song, “Semi-Charmed Life” by Third Eye Blind, was sung terribly by known local idiot Fred Murchison.

DOO DOOT DOOT DOOT DO DOO DOO!

Ugh. Fred Murchison. Don’t encourage him.

What made this a terrible experience was not just Murchison dancing and stumbling while singing the chorus, but his replacing words at random with sounds and skipping an entire verse when he was distracted by a woman walking by.

Despite being one of the most-heard songs of the 90s, Murchison — known as Murch to his friends — had not absorbed enough of the lyrics to complete the song. 

After a few moments of this sad display, a waitress gently asked him to sit down, as no one was enjoying his performance. 

In an aggressive response shortly thereafter, Murchison was seen being escorted out the door by security where his impromptu concert continued on the street.

When asked for comment on his behaviour, Murchison replied “DOO DOOT DOOT DOOT DO DOO DOO!”
