They said it couldn’t be done.

They said no opera singer could imitate a high performance car at top heat.

Well, she can.

You saw it here first.

The soprano has not been named by the Australian makers of the advertisement. Can anyone name her?

    I thought this was a rather more exciting thing to do – a professional session choir actually creating the sounds so well it could almost be real. When I first heard a pre-release sound recording of this I laughed my head off, it was just so brilliantly executed. Enjoy!
