A middle school talent show is probably one of the most nerve-racking experiences in any kid's life, and this is exactly why.

Anything can go wrong at any time, and for this intrepid foursome tragedy struck very early. They decided to perform Weezer's "Undone" (also known as The Sweater Song), a typical song for a young musical group to attempt. The intro went off without a hitch, but by the first lyric, everything went south.

As soon as the vocalist and keyboardist touched his keys to play the first note, the instrument crumbled beneath him to the ground in a heap of sadness. The shock was visible on the young musician's face.

That's a lesson learned: Always check your equipment before you play (or be popular enough to have roadies to do it for you).
