SOMETIMES your body plays tricks on you when you least expect.
A simple untimely case of the hiccups has turned a seven-year-old Adelaide local into an online sensation after his rendition of Advance Australia Fair was hijacked by his uncontrollable breathing spurts.
A video posted on YouTube by ABLtv.com shows the young child identified by the stadium’s ground announcer as Ethan Hall singing a memorable version of the Australian national anthem before the Australian Baseball League match between the Adelaide Bite and Brisbane Bandits at Cooper’s Stadium in the City of Churches on Friday night.
Unfortunately, right at the start of his big performance Ethan develops a chronic case of hiccups.
Now that’'s just pure and simply some terrible luck.
How Ethan responded though has won him plenty of fans.
Ethan just ploughed straight on through the anthem despite every second line being interrupted by an involuntary hiccup.

Very cool indeed! But I didn’t know Aussies played baseball! ;-)

We play all sports. We just don’t talk about the ones we can’t beat everybody else at :)

Heck of a job of soldiering on through adversity. Most kids probably would have fell apart.

Beautiful Irish tenor voice.
But the kid should lay of alcohol from now on before he sings.

Check the links later in the discussion thread - we’ve found a version that can be seen in the US.

Yes, that’s what impressed me about it. The kid understands resilience and that the show must go on.

My feelings were microagressed, I might not get over it.

It tells me the video is not available in my region. Ditto for me and I'm near San Diego. Have never seen a message like that.

Those of us outside the US probably see it a lot more. A lot of media is geolimited now and limited to certain countries, only. There are ways around it but it’s getting more and more common
