Do you pretend to know the words?

Alright? (insert your favored accent)

When your out and about eg: office/work christmas party or just in a club. And a song comes on and everyone is singing away to there hearts content and you have no idea what the words are but you lip your way through it as if you do!

Is this something that you do and hope no one notices?
Or do you just smile and dance away?

Saw a load of people do it tonight tis a bit funny to watch!
It also got me thinking are these (you?) the same people who move there lips and mouth when someone is talking talking to you and you move your mouth as if they are saying the words?

Good morning . . . . .

Yup, the trick is to learn the chorus, and shout it really loud. Then nobody will notice ... "habba tonnra boodie doodie DISTURBIA gndos loapnd vidaw DISTURBIA!"

I don't mime, but it's really embarrassing when the artist gets the lyrics wrong.

I just have another drink. Then, surprisingly, it turns out that I do know the words.

I only know the first six words of our national anthem then I just mumble incoherently along with the rest. Shameful I know

I can't remember the last time I ever sang a song.

To be fair songs with lyrics tend to be terrible.

Just like songs without lyrics.
