Watch Jim Henson's Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody Right Now

Why the hell are you still reading this? You could be watching the incredible Muppet version of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" right this instant!


There are no words - this video speaks for itself. It's "Bohemian Rhapsody," one of the only songs in the world better for a "everybody get drunk and blast some impromptu karaoke" scenario than Journey's "Don't Stop Believing," and it's being performed by Muppets.

I don't know what there is to say other than the fact that, from Gonzo rasping his way through the opening lyrics to the hilarious ending, there was a huge grin on my face. This may be one of the best things I have seen this year, and there is very little time for it to lose its lead.

Almost all of the Muppets - even the obscure ones - show up, though my one complaint is that they seemed to stick to just the classic cast. It would have been awesome to see some of the Sesame Street Muppets get in on the fun too, but that's a tiny nit to pick for such a great video.

I love the Muppets. I really, really do.

Generally I'm not a Queen fan. And I reserve special hatred for this song and Don't Stop me Now. But the muppets made this awesome.

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

Mr thefunk i salute you!!!

 

[Distorted Stu]

WTF!
Anyway, i was expecting a bit more, especially at the head banging bit. I think im too old for muppets now, but i enjoyed it anyway!

Why do you hate those two songs? If you don't mind me asking.


OT: Sweet Statler and Waldorf are there, I forgot about those guys!

Funk Susan you've made my day, thanks for that.

Very amusing video, enjoyed it loads...

Whats next?Muppet guitar hero?

NO, SERIOUSLY, DON'T TEMPT ACTIVISON! They WILL bring out a horrible knock off of Guitar Hero with muppets if they hear this idea. The world does not need to give them another few million dollars.

Those two are the most overplayed and irritating of all Queen's songs.

I was about to ask where in the hell Kirmit was, but then he got the last second appearance... was almost seriously displeased...

 

[waggmd]

I wish Kermit had a singing part, but that ending was priceless.

Why does everyone love the Muppets?

 

[Donbett1974]

Muppets & Queen the Reese's cup of music.

 

[Crimson_Dragoon]

I have just witnessed the greatest thing ever. Unfortunately, that means life can only go downhill from here.

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

That... Was... EPIC!
Funk, you rule.

 

[jackanderson]

This has absolutely made my day. Thank you Escapist and thank you Muppets!

 

[Jon Etheridge]

Hahaha. That's awesome.

Still, the funniest Muppet related thing I've seen recently was Kermit the Frog reacting to Two Girls One Cup. (yeah I know it's not the REAL Muppets but it made me cry laughing)

 

[dragontiers]

That is THE single most awesome thing I have seen in forever. I was laughing so hard it made my eyes water. I wish The Muppet Show was still on the air. Now, I must go and show this to everyone I can find. Thank you so, so much for this.
