How’s it going? Oh, can’t complain…in Singapore
Cranky singers
A choir that planned to sing a list of complaints about life in
Singapore cancelled its performances after the city-state banned its foreign
members from singing, organizers said
Saturday.
The 60-member “complaints choir,” a concept that originated from two Finnish artists, was scheduled to perform at a weekend festival but authorities granted a performance license on the condition that the foreigners would not participate…
Some of the complaints that would have been sung included, “when a pregnant lady gets on the train, everyone pretends to sleep” and “when I’m hungry at the food court, I see people (reserve) seats with tissue paper.”
Not only Cranky Geeks - but, Cranky Singers!
