Describe in your own words what is funny about Harris singing a song at a party

The funny thing about Harris' singing is that he cannot sing, and it isn't funny.

"You have never heard Harris sing a comic song, or you would understand the service I had rendered to mankind. It is one of Harris’s fixed ideas that he can sing a comic song; the fixed idea, on the contrary, among those of Harris’s friends

who have heard him try, is that he can’t and never will be able to, and that he ought not to be allowed to try."

hello Jill what kind of answers are you giving??

Jerome shares an incident that once in a party, the host invited Harris to sing for the audiences' entertainment. little did she know that this would bring amusement for some anf irritation to some. The funny thing about Harris singing comic songs is that he claims to be singing a particular song but ends up mixing two songs.
