How about a little Bohemian Rhapsody, gentlemen?


"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song by the British rock band Queen. It was written by Freddie Mercury for the band's 1975 album A Night at the Opera. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is in the style of a stream-of-consciousness nightmare that has unusual song structure, more akin to a classical rhapsody than popular music. The song has no chorus, instead consisting of three main parts including an operatic segment, an a cappella passage, and a heavy rock solo.

When it was released as a single, "Bohemian Rhapsody" became an unlikely commercial success, staying at the top of the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks. It reached number one again in 1991, after Freddie Mercury's death, achieving total sales of 2,176,000 and becoming the UK's third best selling single of all time—beaten only by Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and Elton John's "Candle In The Wind 1997".

The single was accompanied by a promotional video; considered groundbreaking, it helped establish the visual language of the modern music video. Although critical reaction was initially mixed, especially in the United States, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is often considered to be Queen's magnum opus and one of the greatest rock songs of all time.

Many other bands have made their own versions of the song. Guns n Roses have often played the Bohemian Rhapsody, both alone and with other musicians, in this case, Elton John. A surprising mixture, no doubt. Don't worry, the song is so good that nobody can spoil it!

Bohemian Rhapsody is also the background for a funny scene from the movie Wayne's World. Have you seen that film? The main character, Wayne, and his friend Garth are very fond of music and for every situation they seem to find a song with a special meaning for them . In this scene they are getting ready for a night out. Pay attention to the wonderful choreography.

Yes, everyone loves good songs, even The Muppets! Hope you enjoy it.
