AUDIO: MAN SANG SO MUCH KARAOKE, HIS LUNG COLLAPSED
In China, a man was hospitalized after his lung collapsed because he sang too much karaoke. The 65-year-old reportedly sang 10 songs in a row, straining to hit the high notes before succumbing to pain in his left side. The man, identified – naturally – as Mr. Wang, said that after hitting a few very high notes on songs he had sung many times before, he found himself having breathing difficulties. He tried to ignore the pain, but the next day, he went to a doctor who told him he had a collapsed lung caused “by high lung pressure.”
* Sometimes natural selection happens in the strangest of places.
* Hold off on that dream of becoming an opera singer.
* It was just God telling him what the audience wouldn’t: Get off the stage.
* You must be singing pretty bad when your own lung doesn’t want to cooperate.
CLIP: A bit of “Take My Breath Away” by Berlin.
