Happens a lot
I was at a open mike a couple weeks ago. One of the other performers asked if I knew "Wave" I said yes he then asked if he could play the melody. I said sure, well he didn't really know it.
I don't mind if someone asks if they can play along and I don't try to make them look bad. But if you don't know the tune don't try, it's bad for both of us.
A couple of years ago the same thing happened. Another performer asked if I knew "Satin Doll". He tried and didn't do too bad noodling around but he didn't really know it.
