They’re supposed to sound like TNG Klingons. Everybody sang in the squeaky range. A variety of voices would have been nice. Ethan Peck’s a baritone. More than one note of Spock’s big number could have been there.

But it had to be something that the Klingons found very upsetting. If it was opera, they’d just keep rolling with it and having a great time
Exactly. Would the Klingons have even noticed if they were breaking out into opera or drinking songs?
Humor me here, please. Everyone else sang in voices you could expect from their characters. Why was Klingon singing, alone, breaking character?
Comedy
The anomaly force people to sing about hidden emotions but it also pushed them to sing in a popular human style.
This.
What made it hilarious was that I was sitting there, nodding and going, “Yes, yes I can see why this is without honor.”
I dunno. I see Klingons as extremely old-school, culturally. They treasure old ways of fighting (bat’leth, qutlutch), worship (Kahless, dark, candle-lit spaces), being (honor bordering on chivalry, belonging to the house of one’s father), and singing (manly voices–Michael Dorn even lowered his speaking voice for TNG). For me, hearing Klingon high-pitched voices during a crisis was analogous to hearing “Eek! A mouse!” It was funny, but I’m still experiencing cognitive dissonance.
Why not? Christine & Nyota had a great time.
Because it had to be something they found to be dishonourable enough that their reaction was to want to destroy the subspace fold.
Apparently there is a deleted/alternate scene with more straight forward Klingon Operatic singing that will be included in bonus features.
How do I get to bonus features?
The EPs have mentioned in interviews that the alternate version will be a bonus feature on the DVDs/BlueRay/UHD disc sets.
Got it. Piracy.
Well it definitely was hilarious but I would also have been open for some quality Klingon opera
Me and my mate were expecting Klingon opera, but the sound cloud rapping (or whatever) was so unexpected it really made us laugh. I think they played it really well and I’m not sure I’d want them to change it
They played it well. It was jarring, and I laughed, and I was disappointed.

YES!
Could a dose of Klingenem help? From 2009: https://youtu.be/LBtj4WoC6XA
You haven’t enjoyed N’Sync until you’ve listened to them in their original Klingon
I get the complaints But singing a Klingon opera might not be as dishonourable!
