Bohemian Polka - "Weird Al" Yankovic

[Queenrock990]

I do not know why people take this seriously. I am a closest fan of Queen And I found it hilarious!

[animeslayerg]

I love this tribute!

[opalemmy]

lolz! luv it!

[Person900210]

This video is EXCELLENT... *guitar riff*

[Sl0wry]

Freddie Mercury must have been rolling in his grave... with laughter.

[slurpinslushie]

wayne's world is awesome

[TheCuteWoofer]

Al is a genius, and bands who allow him to "interpret" their songs know this.

[RDBeatnik]

Gotta love that polka sound.

[icemoutin]

its a very nice up beat/ not serious version of the orginal, i like it

[satoshimiwa]

Guys, there's no purest demonstration of love than good-natured parody. This is a work of love.

[drsdwpalmer]

If you're so soft-willed that the very act of parody is offensive to you, I pity you your lack of a sense of humor. I'd rather go through life laughing as both kinds of genius than letting one kind poop on my day. Just saying....you don't like it, turn it off.

[pyrogyra72]

Usually Weird Al only does snippets of popular songs as polkas, but this is the only time Al did an entire song as a polka.

[IHeartVideoGames08]

I love Bohemian Rhapsody. But I love this too. I am not gonna say one version is better than the other. Cause in the end it comes on preference. Life is to short. If you do not like this version that's fine your opinion. If you like this version better than the original thats fine still your opinion. But what those forget is Weird Al is about having fun. He is a light heart guy who does music differently then others. If you dont understand then maybe you should not listen. just saying.

[xXxTooPureToDiexXx]

Lmfao, this video is just brilliant.

[HrhFish]

All I can say to those who think he ruined it is bollox. Al is a gifted musician. To be able to take a song as complicated as this and send it up in an different genre of music should be acknowledged as an achievement. Love this guys take on things!!

[garymc2000]

This is the polka that got me into Queen.

[ThatThingByTheShed]

Guys, remember; music is VERY delicate, and if someone makes a parody, or a cover that you don't happen to like, it is RUINED FOREVER.

[sofusbj1]

oh dear... good music destroyed by polka >.<

[BdVial]

@sofusbj1 Jesus, it's a parody. It's funny. God forbid anyone have a sense of humour about music (since, you know, Bohemian Rhapsody itself contained a parody of opera...)

[Cinniflame120]

He kinda looks like Brian May here! I mean without the glasses and the mustache, that's actually what kept me watching the video in the first place! LOVE YOU BRIAN!!!!

[Cinniflame120]

This is great! However, and notice that I mean this in the nicest way possible, the original song still kicks this one's butt! I mean there's no real actually coming close to the actual Bo Rhap! I mean bohemian rhapsody is just untouchable, no contest whatsoever!

[nicolasverdi]

SOLUPY

[MrThrasha666]

POL-KA!! POL-KA!!! POL-KA!!!!!

[35McGuire]

How high was he?

[MrOtakuNE]

I WANT TO HEAR POLKA MUSIIIIIIC!!!!!!!

lol

[daughterofdarthvader]

i love this. brilliant mind of crazy ol' weird al.

[viliussmproductions]

no this isnt better than original but its not bad

[MrKornum]

haters gonna hate

[468chuckles]

POLL!!! KAH!!!! POLL!!! KAH!!! POLL!! KAH!!

[MangoTheHallowed]

I must say Weird Al is a genius, but it's blasphemy to say that this is better than the legendary Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen...

[forgottensoul182]

@MangoTheHallowed Thank you! I was shocked to find that Snootwaller god 40 thumbs up...

[queen123452]

its alwrite so i like it

[bambendair]

Snootwaller, don't worry, you're not alone.. It's the same for me x)

[dignasy]

his totally ahead of his time....people would be as nuts as him  20 yrs later

[Gokibarry]

Weird Al, The Rebel of Rebels!

[imNotMeWhenimHungry]

this song is so annoying

[SnookRules]

Hahaaa

I personally love Queen more than anything, but this is hilarious! Weird Al is great!

[Au4Ob08]

3:41-3:44 ROFL.

[hibber25]

0:27 LEAVE BRITTANY ALONE!!!!!!

[LegoKing345]

@hibber25 more like LEEAVE POLKA ALONE!

[PufferBluntman]

To be honest, I like this version better)))

[ringomainia]

is it just me or does weird al during "speakers corner" sound like larry the cucumber?

[Dracoa79]

"Good call."

[craneador82]

WEIRD ALL YANKOVICK RULES!! XD

[EgaoNoGenki]

You know, if it takes 1:14 to get to the start of a song, then you won't get as many views as OzShadow's video did.

Please, CUT TO THE CHASE!!!

[Svoig]

@EgaoNoGenki Read the description. It's not supposed to be just the song.

[LegoKing345]

@EgaoNoGenki some one should've told michael jackson that his videos where to long

[lcpuche]

POLKA! POLKA! POLKA! POLKA!

[ddsfriend]

how about some queen? OH WAIT I KNOW POLKA WITH QUEEEENNN!~!!! X)

[austismitty133]

Hes on something cuz he was high at the first part.

[ZXRulezzz]

Weird Al is weird.

[nakathefirst]

POLKA! POLKA! POLKA!

[meloyellowduck]

Not like Weird Al to use original lyrics, he's renowned for re-writing brilliant lyrics.

[ThePRPD2]

He's done covers in his own style multiple times.

[renaissongsman]

@meloyellowduck Yes, but not with his polkas, necessarily ... as Andras notes below, he often uses the polka style to parody musical ideas, so leaving Freddie's lyrics intact is a big part of the joke.

CrazyUncle, thanks for posting this. It really got me laughing by the end. :-)

[nextgentacos123]

Good way to drive your siblings batty, but still this song is freaking beast!

[andrasiboti]

Al's covers r more like parodies of melodies than lyrics

[theREALiceveela]

is it bad to say that he acts and looks alot like my older brother?

[tylertoon2]

@theREALiceveela Yes, that means your brother is 100000000000000000000000000000­0000X more awsome than you

[AlltThatStillR3mains]

i love weird al and queen but this polka version is hard to stand, i mean it's funny but, it drove me insane!

[TheRealDerfMan]

....still funny after all those years....!!

[EvilUncleFrank]

Al doesn't use parody ideas from other people. EVER. Trust me, don't waste your precious time trying.

Instead, I recommend you get some recording equipment, write and record it YOURSELF, and send it to Dr. Demento!

[Susanthehedgehog1]

Weird Al is weird. "Hi, remember me? WE NEED POLKA MUSIC!" "Hey I know, let's call the band Queen to play polka music!"

[paragonpoint1]

I love this ^.^

Reminds me that i have to finish that assignment...

"thunder bolts and lightning, very very frightning! Calilao ~! Calilao -! Calilao ~! Calilao -! Caliao, picaro!" The high sounding one has like lost his voice or something! LOVE IT!!!

[Doriselley]

Wow, you butchered those lyrics.

[foshizzlerotty99]

@paragonpoint1 its galileo galileo figaro its italian look up the lyrics

[Iforgotmypassagain]

love 3:30 - 3:44

[Iforgotmypassagain]

The music is just so inappropriate to the lyrics.

[ChristianMusician85]

That's part of the humor.

[Snootwaller]

Am I the only person who thinks that this song is BETTER than the original?

[MRSmamaCASSELLIOT]

Yes, you are. And don't eat a sheet anymore.

[dagorlad3]

Agreed.

Though it is tied with zero wing rhapsody for favorite.

[janiszuukkeli]

no, I think so too. Original is too lame imo

[werion5]

@Snootwaller Well, the point of this song is that queen is so boring that maybe if you fasten it up it's better!

[smashc0m]

@Snootwaller That's really brave of you to admit that.... but you know what? ME TOO!

[hugeozzyfan1]

@Snootwaller yes

[zrodge34]

@Snootwaller I think it's better than the original.

[jewishJacobrules]

@Snootwaller no way..

[pokemorph1]

@Snootwaller no

[supersmashbro596]

@Snootwaller no i do.

[PokemonSpectrum92]

@Snootwaller No, I think it's better, too.

[viliussmproductions]

@Snootwaller no but this isnt bad

[alg546]

@Snootwaller , no

[DrMaybrianna]

@Snootwaller Don't get me wrong, I love Weird Al, but saying this is better than the original is not acceptable.

[Jimster772]

@DrMaybrianna agreed



[czonkin1]

@Snootwaller Better or not, I don't know, I love both of them. But don't forget, that Bohemian Polka wouldn't be if there wasn't Bohemian Rhapsody. So thumbs up for Weird Al and compliment to Freddie!

[killdoser123]

@Snootwaller F....U....

[hoodratzzzz]

@Snootwaller I don't know, I heard this one first.

[beatlephan1982]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL *GASP!* LOLOLOLOL! I've had a crappy night and this made it better

[XxLordDarthVaderxX]

is the bohemian rapsody in polka version, i prefer eat it or smell like nirvana.

[marasu66]

Refreshing! Now, how about a Bohemian Rap?

[ESF3115]

i never saw this video! great video! love the beginning

[Musicleelee0]

Hello world of youtube

you are all Actually Liazrds

[DallasHammster]

And when Queen originally released Bohemian Rhapsody, stiff-assed opera fans accused accused them of pissing on opera. Remember also, Al has a strict policy of getting permission from the original artists before parodying a song, so evidence suggests Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon disagree with your opinion.

[SuperDookieness6000]

@DallasHammster even tho freddie was the main writer

[LegoKing345]

@DallasHammster i hate opera if they were im happy

[prehistorymaster42]

lovw7b2002, that is.

[YoniIsrael]

Best weird al yankovic song cover!

[YoniIsrael]

the beginning sound like 'Manu chao' meets 'Queen'.

[weedbix]

POLKA! POLKA! POLKA! XD

[hurricanerock246]

Love Wayne's world

The head-banging scene with the original Bohemian Rhapsody always reminded me of me and my mates, because my mates pretty much look like wayne and Garth! XD

[tommyDstring]

i played this on the jukebox at the bar last night.....

[MrBrownstone888]

im actually looking for his al music specials, its the hardest thing to find, my favorite part was when the Real V.J. would be talking and all of a sudden he might take a sip of water and would be poisoned and die, than it would pan up to Al beside him holding a can of poison or something, than he would take over the show.lol or he would simply walk up to one of the V.J.'s ands simply stab them or something. I miss those days.

[UtterlyMoot]

I remember this!

I think i still have this on "tape" somewhere.

I also remember "tapes"

wow. what a day

[DaVince21]

Wow, the original video?! Cool! Thanks for uploading this!

[chris1978nl]
