This is an otherwise ordinary cautionary tale of driving hazards, but made amusing only by the musical factor:
A Winston [Ore.] man told police he crashed his car after a bee flew into his mouth while he was singing along with Justin Timberlake’s song Rock Your Body on the radio.
Douglas County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Pam Frank said John L. Nunes, 19, was trying to get rid of the bee or yellowjacket when his car hit a tree.
Okay, I’m pretty much indifferent to Mr. Timberlake’s music–I’ll groove to it if it happens to be playing, however I don’t actively seek it out–but I’ll just say this to the hapless victim: dude, you didn’t have to tell the truth about what song you were singing, you know. (It’s not like there’s a black box in the car, recording your driver’s-seat song stylings. Hm, if there were, I think we’d all be more responsible in our automotive karaoke behavior.) Heh.
I kid, of course. Hopefully, he’s doing okay. And has learned his lesson: singing said artist’s music–okay, any singing so spirited so as to invite a bee to fly into one’s mouth–is best done not while operating a motor vehicle.
