A South Korean woman has set an unofficial world karaoke record after singing nearly 1,000 songs in just under 60 hours, reports say.
Kim Seok-ok dropped to the floor after her marathon effort, which she said she undertook to cheer up her sick husband.
Ms Kim picked up the microphone at a karaoke bar on Monday and continued until Valentine's Day evening. She beat, by 36 minutes, the record set by a German man last year, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported. Ms Kim sang for 59 hours and 48 minutes, with a break of just a few minutes every hour, witnesses at the bar in Seoul said.
She did not even sit down, even though the rules say she can.
The 52-year-old said she did it for her 45-year-old husband who is fighting a brain tumour.
Have you done something strange, or awesome for love?

What does singing a bunch of Karaoke do for a brain tumor anyway? If I sang that much it'd probably give me one.

Let's just say Karaoke isn't my favorite. Of course it doesn't help that my singin sounds more like a bear growling than anything else.

I drove to Phoenix once. 1,600 miles, and did it in about 34 hours. I started at 8pm, drove all night, all day the next day, all night the next night and arrived the following morning. I slept in the college library and waited for her classes to get out.

I can sympathize with Lance. For my now ex, I drove from Michigan to Florida, picked him and his buddy up and drove back to Michigan. I left on Thursday night after having worked all day, drove home, picked up the kids and took them to a sitter, drove all night and the next day, just to turn around and drive home - didn't even get to see the ocean. Got home on Saturday around noon.

You shoulda told them to get their lazy asses on the Greyhound. It would have been faster and probably not cost as much.
