"Just a quick note in the interests of rigor, or honesty, or something:
there are singing non-human apes - the gibbons. (My explanation for
this is
that they are monogamous - communal singing is not involved.) "

Gibbons are monogamous because the females do not go into heat.
Another singing primate are tarsiers: also estrus-free.

Cause and effect.

BTW, a good look at the information in song is found at :
