Queen and Weird Al

I’m not a huge Queen fan, but I’ve always admired Freddie Mercury’s talent as a singer. Apparently, so does Weird Al… Here’s a quick compare of Queen’s original, “Bohemian Rhapsody”

 

And here’s Weird Al’s version of the same song. Same lyrics, completely different song!

Pretty good version! I guess those lyrics are random enough that it doesn't matter what you sing them to. Yeah, those queen guys (?) wrote some good stuff within the context of the 70's and 80's music with the synthesizers and stuff. Of course once you see what they looked like (and wore) at times like this, they were weider than even Weid Al! Love Freddie's brittish teeth. Yuck!!

That was me (Fernando) above, by the way.
