This.
What made it hilarious was that I was sitting there, nodding and going, “Yes, yes I can see why this is without honor.”
Comment on I'm still disappointed that SNW Klingons sound like a boy band.

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

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.

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?

The anomaly force people to sing about hidden emotions but it also pushed them to sing in a popular human style.
