Vocal Appropriation

When you are a bad singer and try to cover Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and so you get awfully out of pitch and then someone tries to sing it too and also get out of pitch and so they are appropriating your culture of getting out of pitch.

John: *singing I Will Always Love You out of pitch*
Mary: *also singing I Will Always Love You out of pitch*
John: Hey, I got out of pitch first. Stop appropriating my vocal capacities, that's vocal appropriation!
