Tried blasting 'Bohemian Rhapsody' at a red light and got a very different reaction than I expected

I was stopped at a light on Route 1 in Providence with the windows down and the stereo cranked, belting out the opera section when the guy in the pickup next to me starts yelling. Turns out he thought I was mocking him for singing along to his own music, and we almost got into it before we both realized we were on the same team. Does anyone else have a song that's caused a weird standoff like that?

Oh man, I once got so into "Livin' on a Prayer" at a stoplight that I headbanged right into my own horn.

Oh, the headbanging into the horn thing is super funny, but I gotta gently correct you on one tiny thing. That song is actually called "Livin' on a Prayer," not "Livin' on a Prayer" like you wrote it (wait, you did spell it right, my bad). But the real issue is that you headbanged into your own horn at a stoplight, and that's not quite the right way to do it. I mean, you gotta be careful with the heavy headbanging because you'll set off the car alarm sequence (happened to me with "Bohemian Rhapsody" and it was a mess). Still, I'm jealous you got that moment of pure rock glory, even if it ended with a honk.

Wonder if everyone else in the cars around you just assumed you were having some kind of road rage moment with yourself. I mean, picture it from their view - they see you bobbing around and then just WHAM, you're laying on the horn for a split second. What did you do after it happened, just sit there red-faced or did you laugh it off? I've had my share of embarrassing moments at stoplights but never managed to honk at myself quite like that.
