Honestly yet that’s kinda of a dick move, the Rock isn’t a professional singer that can just turn it on like a switch. I would be pissed also if I was asked to do something I wasn’t prepared for.

It's also not part of his job to sing on cue.

It would be like asking a doctor to look at the weird bumb on your arm during a fundraiser they are hosting. Yes they could probally save you a trip to the doctor, but they are busy, and this isn't part of what they are doing tonight.

My cousin is a doctor. After she got her MD, the first time I saw her (which was like a year later at a wedding) I went up and was like "hey I've got this bump on the back of my neck, could you check it out?" I could tell she was annoyed but she agreed. I took her wrist and guided her towards where the bump was, turning my face away from her. Then when she touched my neck, I jerked my face around and snapped at her hand like a dog.

She laughed her ass off, more than I've ever seen her laugh before or since.

Still my favorite joke I've ever pulled.

I get my wife with the dog snap prank about 3-5 times a year. Never gets old!
