Hannigan seized control of the stage at Loose Strings Karaoke on Division Street, opening with ‘Sweet Caroline’ and then queuing 31 consecutive songs under aliases including ‘Not Brett,’ ‘The Real Singer,’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody Guy.’ When staff tried to retrieve the microphone, he retreated and built a low barricade out of bar stools and a fog machine, continuing to perform from behind it — including an eleven-minute ‘American Pie.’ By the second hour the whole bar was chanting ‘GET OFF THE STAGE’; he took it as a request and dedicated ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ to them, pointing at people during the chorus. The two-hour standoff ended when, mid-way through his third attempt at ‘Sweet Caroline,’ his voice cracked and failed entirely. He had the whole bar. He lost the whole bar.
