We're not sure if you heard but James Corden's Carpool Karaoke on The Late Late Show segments are pretty popular... but it turns out not everyone's a fan.

It's true that the comedian racks up the views whenever he's belting out hits with Adele, Ed Sheeran, Mariah Carey, Harry Styles and more in the comfort of his own car. The key, it appears, is that these sketches take place in his car.

On Sunday, Corden decided to surprise commuters on their way to work in New York for the first-ever Subway Karaoke in celebration of the Grammy Awards coming back to NYC.

He even roped in Sting and Shaggy — who, for some reason, have made an album together — to sing the Police classic 'Every Breath You Take' and the 2000s banger 'It Wasn't Me' on the subway too.

Turns out New Yorkers don't want to hear Sting, Shaggy, Corden or anyone else singing to them on their subway ride, as you can see in the hilarious / cringe-worthy clip below:

Reactions ranged from angry passengers shouting at them, rolling their eyes or throwing money at them in order to get the trio to shut the hell up.

"We're not begging," a disheartened Corden complained. "We're trying to create a viral moment."

Cool.
