It's even funnier when the audience don't know the words, or just couldn't be bothered. You end up with the singer sort of mouthing half the lines, realising nobody is going to join in and then coming in mid-sentence himself, like say

"Take it easy, take it easy. Don't let the" (pause as microphone held out over audience, no response) "... make you crazy."
Followed by a few shouts of "Yeah!" meaning "You ****ing bastards let me down and made me look like an *******! I'm ****ed if we're ever coming here again!"
