“Bohemian Rhapsody” (2009)

Unlike “Jamaican Rhapsody,” this version by The Muppets retains many of the original Queen lyrics. However, this cover is somewhat abridged, and a few words and phrases were changed to make them acceptable to children who might hear it.

No Need for Sympathy

This video was released in November 2009, to commemorate the 18th anniversary of the death of Freddie Mercury. It comprises a montage of several dozen Muppet characters, reprising the roles played by Queen in the original video. This Muppet vid was such a hit that the song was subsequently released as a single, which reached Number 32 on the UK Singles Chart.

At the 14th annual “Webby Awards,” this video of “Bohemian Rhapsody” won the award for “Viral Video. ” It has been viewed over 50 million times. _{(Image source)}

The Muppets

The Muppets are a cast of comic puppet characters created in 1955 by the husband-wife team of Jim and Jane Henson. In the 1970s, The Muppets became famous through their appearances on “Sesame Street,” followed by their massively successful “The Muppet Show.”

After achieving great success in the 1970s, The Muppets began appearing in full-length films. They’ve also been interviewed on numerous talk shows, and have received a star on the “Hollywood Walk of Fame.”

Sur … Really Funny

The Muppets’ comedy is burlesque, absurdist, and surreal. And very funny.

From the innocent but affable Kermit the Frog and the ever-alluring diva Miss Piggy, to the miserable old codgers Statler and Waldorf, each of the Muppet puppet characters is intriguing, endearing, and hilarious. As a result, their fans include everyone from young kids to discerning adults.

Fame

The Muppets have won numerous awards, including Emmy awards, Academy awards, Webby awards, and (almost) a Tony award. They remain loved and popular, albeit quite secretive. _{(Image source)}

Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide

No escape from reality

Open your eyes

Look up to the skies and see

I'm just a poor boy

I need no sympathy

Because I'm easy come, easy go

Little high, little low

Any way the wind blows

Doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama

Mama?

Yeah, mama

Ah, mama

Mama, mama! Ahahahaha

Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, yeah!

Mama, yo ho

Mama, yo ho, mama

Mama?

Mama

Dada?

Dada!

I see a little silhouetto of a clam

Scaramouch, scaramouch, would you do the fandango?

Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me

(Mi mi mi mi) Galileo

(Mi mi mi mi) Galileo

(Mi mi mi mi mi mi mi) Galileo figaro

Mamamamo-o-o-o-o

I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me

He's just a poor boy, from a poor family

Spare him his life from this monstrosity, nom nom nom nom

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?

Mah na ma na

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Let me throw

Mah na ma na

They will not let you throw

Let me blow

Mah na ma na

They will not let you blow

Let me joke (Do not like your jokes)

Let me joke (Do not like your jokes)

Ho ho ho

Let me joke, hee ha ha ha

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

(Vernegity, vernegity)

Mama mia, let me go

Does anyone know if there is a part for me, for me, for me!

So they tell us this video's going to fly

All I know is we're not getting paid tonight

Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby

Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Yeah, get out!

Oooh

Oooh yeah

Oooh yeah

Nothing really matters

Anyone can see

Nothing really matters

Nothing really matters

But moi

Any way the wind blows

Scooter?

Yeah, chief?

Remind me to stop setting up these video conferences

They're not very productive.

You got it

Sheesh
