One St. David's Day, I sang 'Ar Hyd Y Nos' in Welsh at a singaround. Not actually speaking or understanding any Welsh at all, I'd painstakingly learned it line by line, listening to and trying to parrot a variety of Welsh singers on the internet. (It kind of surprised me, although it really shouldn't have, that of course no two Welsh singers pronounce the words identically!)

It then turned out I'd 'stolen' the opportunity from a genuine Welsh singer, who'd also been planning to perform the song, but whose turn came after mine in the singaround.

That's not really bad etiquette, just bad luck; but it would be good if there was some way to avoid such a faux pas!
