>It ain't over till (or until) the fat lady sings is a colloquialism

Jesus, it is a reference to the first decades of the television era when TV stations did not have enough content or recording capability to fill 24 hours of air time.

They would "sign off", generally at midnight with either the National Anthem or Kate Smith (a very large woman and popular recording artist) singing God Bless America.

"It's over when the fat lady sings". Sheesh, kids.
