Blink-182 fan goes viral for disastrous attempt at singing ‘First Date’ on stage with band
The fan appears to have started singing the lyrics to a different song entirely
Blink-182 brought up a fan to sing ‘First Date’ at a recent show and her disastrous attempt on vocals has ended up going viral.
From video footage captured of the performance, it appears the fan got mixed up between songs and seems to be attempting ‘All The Small Things’ instead of ‘First Date’. She ended up going silent after a few seconds of singing.
Nonetheless, the band carried on, with Mark Hoppus leading the crowd in a group singalong. From video footage captured of the performance, it appears the fan got mixed up between songs and seems to be attempting ‘All The Small Things’ instead meanwhile, was spotted at the side of the stage trying not to laugh.
Last week, DeLonge made light of a harsh review of Blink-182’s headline set at Lollapalooza, in which local outlet The Daily Illini called the band “cringeworthy”.
“Why are two older men, aged 52 and 48, respectively, who have wives and children, making jokes about sleeping with the other’s mother?” a section read. “The crude humour may have landed with some, but to continue throughout the hour-and-fifteen-minute long set was a bit much.”
Sharing a screenshot of the title, which read: “Blink-182’s performance distastefully closes Lollapalooza”, he quoted another snippet of the review in his caption, before adding his own take.
“Why are two men who have wives and kids making jokes about sleeping with each other’s mothers?… oh my god, I’m dying hahaha fuck, I love this band.”
Elsewhere during the Lolla set, Blink turned heads when they unexpectedly broke out a cover of Chappell Roan‘s ‘Pink Pony Club’.
Vocalist and bassist Mark Hoppus interpolated ‘Pink Pony Club’ into their performance of ‘Dammit’, singing the chorus before smoothly swinging back into their own song on the line “Well I guess this is growing up”.
