KARAOKE SINGER BLOWS OUT A LUNG

A 25-year-old Chinese man wound up in the emergency room with a collapsed lung after straining himself while singing karaoke at a friend’s birthday party. The young man, Wang Zhe, attended a friend’s birthday party and decided to show off his voice by singing “New Drunken Concubine,” a song famous for high notes. When he reached the high-pitched part of the song, the man really gave it his all, only to feel a sharp pain in his chest which made him cut his act short. The pain was bearable, though, so he didn’t pay too much attention to it until the next day, when he found that he could barely breathe. An X-ray showed that he had suffered a pneumothorax – air sacks in his right lung burst, causing air pockets larger than one centimeter to form in the chest cavity and gradually compressed his lung to 15% of its normal volume. Mr. Zhe underwent surgery, and made a full recovery.
* “New Drunken Concubine”, the “Take On Me” of Chinese Karaoke.
* “New Drunken Concubine.” Isn’t that by Mumford and Sons?
* Doesn’t sound like the wokest song ever.
* Singing karaoke songs you shouldn’t be singing sounds like a self-correcting problem.
* You must be singing pretty bad when your own lung doesn’t want to cooperate.
* Anything that removes one more karaoke singer from the pool is okay by me.
