Me either, especially since it wouldn't be realistic - the Kass=ED don't
sing. They have music, and they have poetry, but it never occurred to
them to combine the two. Actually, it's theorized that it was once
taboo, but after a while, both the practice and the taboo were
forgotten.
Actually, I lie slightly, if you count "chanting" as singing, they have
singing. The word I used in the translation actually meant "to chant"
