Boy battles hiccups whilst singing national anthem at baseball game

However, few people can say they handle them as well as this kid who got a awful bout of them while singing the Australian national anthem.

But just as he begins to blast out the first lines of Advance Australia Fair…

Ethan sang the anthem before an Australian Baseball League match between the Brisbane Bandits and the Adelaide Bite in Adelaide.

Despite his predicament the impeccably dressed Ethan took a deep breath as the music struck up, then launched into the song.

Or, once you listen to the song, you may realize that the hiccups are actually a wonderful percussive counterpoint to the song’s melody.

“Absolutely priceless”, one of the commentators said as Ethan ran around receiving high fives from both teams.

Nothing could stop Ethan from nailing his performance.

Website Deadspin captioned the video: “We salute you, young sir”.
