Opera Singer on Helium - Neatorama

Christina Elizabeth, a professional opera singer, offers an extra squeaky "Deh Vieni Non Tardar" from The Marriage of Figaro. Her already extraordinary vocal range is made only greater with the addition of helium. It's delightful! I would sit through an entire opera if it was performed this way.

I do wish people who do these stunts would specify for potential copycat viewers that the inhaled gas is "Heliox" - a mixture of helium and oxygen. Inhaling pure helium is dangerous and potentially lethal.

We genuinely misquoted the first one all the time (we probably didn't know the word "deuce"). All the others we knew the right words, but sang them wrong on purpose (except for 8, 9, and 10. Past my time.) I blame "Weird" Al Yankovic.

I recently did a road trip with a friend who thought the lyrics to Get Lucky by Daft Punk were "We're up on Mexican Nookie" rather than "We're up all night to get lucky". I can no longer listen to the song without hearing those words.

When I was a kid I heard the Beatles "Can't by me love" as "Bobby luh huh". Didn't help my dad's name is Bob. Kept wondering why the were singing about him.
