"...and it only happens if - WHOA, STOP, SHUT UP, TURN IT UP - NOW!!"

Helloooooo people of the nice community of planet Earth! It is so wonderful to be free from the dungeon for an hour every Sunday! What? You mean not everyone is put in a dungeon for a week at a time? Clearly your parents are doing it wrong.

Well, passing the nonsense (for now), today I would like to enlighten you all on one of the world's greatest sing-a-long songs ever created. Credit goes to the unique band Queen for one of their most well-known songs, Bohemian Rhapsody. 

Here's where I realized this song was the greatest:

I was on my way home from a local mall with my best friend. We were having a conversation about my car (hence the title), and why it sometimes made weird jerking movements when I pressed the accelerator. Suddenly, the first harmonic line from Bohemian Rhapsody came through the speakers from my phone. The talking stopped in a split second, and our focus was turned onto the song as we began singing. We both innately assigned ourselves singing parts as the song progressed.
It. Was. Awesome!

It is a wordy song. The lyrics are not the easiest to remember, but after listening to the song a few times through, you'll begin to notice you already know more than half of the song. As I mentioned, there are many different parts to sing, and in a variety of different tones and pitches. This variety is what makes the song so fun to sing, because it's never dull.

However, knowing the actual song will put your mind in limbo. The lead singer Freddie Mercury died before any explanation was provided as to what the entire song is about, but you can find a few solid theories on this great website we veggies heads love using, and make your own interpretation.
The link is yonder.



This is the music video with the band itself. Aside from the great rocking they do on stage, the camera angles and the shadows on their faces make it look super creepy. Although, there is a really great feeling you'll get when you hear the song and watch the members perform each aspect. It truly is a magnificent piece of art, Queen was a revolutionary band, and singing to this song is very satisfying.

Sidebar: Remember the Muppets? The talking puppets? They had a movie, Muppet Treasure Island? Yeah, well I'm about to supply you with another music video of Bohemian Rhapsody that contains the Muppets doing the entire song. You will never have appreciated the Muppets more than when you see them here.




Th-th-th-that's all folks!
