Be glad you didn't hear the song about "veggie-tables."

Thing is, Klingons are constantly singing opera or battle shanties, how would they know they're doing it involuntarily? There's nothing out of the ordinary about walking a Klingon ship and hearing such singing going on, that it's not going to bother anyone if they began doing so. Singing K-Pop on the other hand is completely out of character.
Thank you! Yeah, the K-Pop works better.
They filmed a version of that scene with the Klingons doing Klingon Opera. It's on the DVD and Blu-Ray of season 2.
After watching the Klingon Opera version, I think the producers made the right choice going with the K-Pop version YMMV.
Ok why aren't humans using alien culture sounds, then?
Oh, that's right. The choice of songs had nothing to do with that. It's just because it's a western human english show made in the 21st century.
Agreed but if that's considered opera I'm disappointed.
It's because it was a mostly Human crewed ship that triggered the event.
It started when Uhura sent a musical through the anomoly. That's why it's Human music.
That's certainly possible, and would work to explain things, though it's not stated in the episode.
It's nowhere near as absurd as "Spock's Brain" and I sure can take more of that!
Uhura says what music she's sending into the anomaly.
I'd watch Spocks Brain before this one.
I know and I can't watch that scene without thinking of Indiana Jones.
But what I mean is that Uhura herself isn't stated to be part of the dynamic of the singing. As I said it makes sense but we have no idea how the anomaly and the events really worked.
It's a TV show.
A frequently goofy TV show that has never in any incarnation dating back to 1964 been firmly rooted in what we like to call scientific or cultural reality.
More looking at other from an in universe perspective as to what might be "embarrassing."
I think as it stands and presented in the episode it works but if one is looking at a in universe idea of the why I can see that perspective.
Perhaps overthinking it but that's what sprang to mind.
That's part of a franchise that had Space Hippies,
And a Greek god that throws lightning bolts at starships.
I think it's fine to expect some internal consistency in fiction.
That being said the episode was deliberately ridiculous so in this case the logic isn't quite as important.
Disco had thirteen episodes because of a co-production deal it had with Netflix, which SNW does not have. And that deal has expired for Disco, which is why the coming fifth and final season will only have ten episodes.
And things cost a whole lot more.
