You've probably heard a variation of this joke at a cabaret performance. The performer will say something like "if you know the words, please don't sing along."

The many Brazilians filling the seats in the Cafe expertly chanted in Portuguese. Sometimes I find it difficult to handle the syncopated rhythms which accent the second beat of a measure in Bossa Nova, but this crowd didn't.
