Awesome Queen

Time for your midday zen moment: Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, arranged for four violins and performed by Joe Edmonds. Quite beautiful, and also good for karaoke practice. (Thanks Martyn!)

Youtube musical madman Mystery Guitar Man takes on Queen’s classic Bohemian Rhapsody on – get this – slide whistle (and kazoo). We’re not sure why, but somehow it works.

We’re not sure if the guy in this video is really homeless, but his dueling-Kermit rendition of Bowie and Queen’s Under Pressure is the best thing we’ve seen in days. It’s the next big meme for sure.

Queen fans may want to plug their ears, but Luke Ski’s Battlestar Rhapsody is a parody fit for an Opera House; best lines: “All the Hell, WTF, FTL!” and “Nothing frakking matters to me…”

Beelzebub has an Animal put on drums for me. The Muppets turn in an epic, monstrosity-filled ensemble rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, complete with all the flourishes of Queen’s 1975 rock opera classic.
