A teacher working late at the Booth Free School in Norfolk, Connecticut, encountered the scariest thing one could possibly imagine when roaming the halls of a seemingly empty school: Bad karaoke versions of Guns n’ Roses‘ “Welcome to the Jungle” sung by two teenage students and one incredibly derelict school custodian over a PA system. The horror …
While the students thought the school was empty as well, the teacher overheard their performance at the most perfectly inopportune time, as the teens likely unsuccessfully attempted Axl Rose’s shriek “You’re in the jungle baby, you’re gonna die!” The teacher somehow thought she was being personally threatened over the loudspeaker, and thus called the police, who came storm-trooping on down to the Booth Free School with six officers and three dogs in tow. The cops found the students messing around with the PA, cuffed them, asked what they were doing, were told they were singing twenty-year-old Guns n’ Roses songs over the loudspeakers in what was thought to be an empty building, uncuffed the students, filed no charges and that’s that.
Seriously though, singing Appetite for Destruction over a PA system? Is that what America’s youth does for fun? Weren’t activities like Rock Band created for the sole purpose of preventing mindless things like this from happening in the first place? The whole situation is eerily similar to that time our ladyfriend called the cops on us because we were singing “I used to love her, but I had to kill her” while showering. Bad timing.
