    Classic out of tune rock scream intentionally.....ROFL!

  • このグダグダ感 いいですわ~

  • EMI Every Mistake Imaginable

  • lol at everyone who dislikes this. it is supposed to be bad. its comedy!

  • 6:35 - 9:30 had me in stitches. I laughed so hard and now I can taste sick.

  • Very bad news.

  • Course you hear out of tune....he tunes like a half octive down.....why who knows....just something he does....

  • Bad News-they were rubbish!

  • @ Rattenritter: yeah I saw that too, for the fitst time while I know this video for ages, it's really hilarious!!! And after that the sentence, "Nothing really matters"... I'm really laughing my pants of here!

  • i love how at 3:12 rik's wig just flys away!^^

  • WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? .............

  • @arturo1245 They were sort of a joke band from the 1980,s several members of a popular t.v. show "the young ones" formed a group called "the comic strip" when the young ones finished and they did 2 bad news documentaries as well as bringing out a couple of albums.

  • zoooooooo slecht xD

  • Ohman! I didn't know this video existed!! This is brilliant. I love Bad News. The Comic Strip is brilliant! :D :D

  • omg ... I love it! I miss the Young Ones

  • I'm 15 and my Dad recently introduced me to Bad News--all I can say is "hey hey bad news!!--FUCK OFF BAD NEWS" xD

  • @MetalMusicMan1000 okay???

  • If it's possible to litterally laugh your ass of, i acomplished that by listening to this song

  • Poor Vim, he rlly does but feeling into this.

  • I agree - EMI means Every Mistake Imaginable

    (I've liked this since I first heard it in 1991)

  • Bad News rule!!!!!!!!! this is so much better the Queens original - Spinal Tap who ?

  • @Flipper1974nz

    Well you appear to be a Flipper fan, so I can understand you saying that.

  • The best destruction of one of my favorite songs!

  • OMG... poor Freddie, if he had listened to this, i believe he would die again :(

  • @thesupremesareback Wtf are you saying, Freddie said he loved this cover -_-

  • @Seethlaw where's the source of this rumour? I don't believe Freddie liked it.

  • @Valerybootlegs The 'source of this rumour' is that the guy will have read so, even if he can't remember where. Queen will be fully aware that, due to sales figures and critical acclaim, their song has now become a kind of 'sacred cow': one you just CANNOT cover seriously (like Stairway To Heaven). I have no doubt that "Freddie" (as you call him as if you knew the man) had a wicked sense of humour enough to have laughed. Here's another 'rumour' (much easier to research): "produced by Brian May"!

  • @Rodov1968 I was produced by Brian May.. He also is supposed to have played on it.. it's really difficult to play this bad yet in a way that it works

  • @azrael666ethereal

    Brian didnt play on it, thats an internet myth. Brian did produce it and said he had to tell them to play bad, because they'd rehearsed so much, they were to good..lol.

  • @metafis I heard he played some of the guitar "harmonies" on this.. i heard that byears before the internet existed.. I believe It was mentioned in a magazine..

  • @thesupremesareback Queen will be fully aware that, due to sales figures, critical acclaim and po-faced idolising, their song has now become a kind of 'sacred cow': one you just CANNOT cover seriously (like Stairway To Heaven). I have no doubt that "Freddie" (as you call him as if you knew the man) had a wicked sense of humour enough (unlike vous) to have laughed. Here's a 'rumour' (quite easily researched): "produced by Brian May"! Do you "believe" he would have if he believed you were right

  • Fuck channel 4 , what are they gaining by blocking this?

  • Amazing. Purely.

  • hah its funny

  • Vim Fuego - born to be a rock star. Or is that crap star? Who cares, lets all go ride our masturbikes

  • In reply to the Bad News- Spinal Tap thing. If you had watched one of the Comic Strip documentaries, you would know that Ade said that Bad News outdates Spinal Tap by about 3 months! It's just pure coincidence.

  • @Gyphia No, you can have the honour of sucking my dick.He learnt a valuable lesson,Don't open your mouth if you don't know shit.Also,if you hurl an insult at someone,be prepared to have it returned in spades.

  • wtf is this shit. didn't dislike it 'cause it's Bohemian Rhapsody. the vocals suck big time.

  • @NikolaMatan Its intended

  • This is art!!

  • cупер! кто-то может воспринять это как издевательство над шедевром QUEEN, на самом же деле это гениальное поп-панк-прочтение великой песни!

  • funny as fuck.

  • @Gyphia Nah.you fuckwit,you beat me to it,along with the little cunt who started to insult me then pussied out.

  • 1:23 WHAT THE FUCK!

  • lol "i've done it five times." yeah i bet hehehehehehehe. :-) wild boy.

  • never mind, this is the one i was looking for. lol!!!

  • whats the one where they all come out one at a time and just sort of stand there in front of the camera? :-) and they are trying to introduce themsevles i think. :-)

  • @MayallFan35

    this video lol?

  • @norandomnumbers lol!! yes this one. i realized it was this one after i saw the end lol!!!! :P~~~~~~ :-)

  • @MayallFan35 Might be 1 of the 2 documentaries they made they are called "bad news on tour" and "more bad news" there pretty hard to find the only place i have ever seen them is on the comic strip presents box set which can be bought fairly cheaply off e-bay, hope this helps.

  • @tonymontana1974 yeah i know i've seen and have both of those. :--) and they are fantastic. Lol!!!

  • There's a few guitar stuff ups in the solo bit

  • @breezizzle That is actually Brian May playing out of tune lol

  • So that's the true meaning of EMI!

  • The Young Ones!!!!

    I always thought Mike was in this (i'd only ever heard it on tape, till today).

  • I love that version a ton , it is the antithesis of nasty crappy. Beautiful.

  • complete genius lol

  • this sux

    

  • @PacManGoneFluffy You little fucker.This is how it is meant to sound you Bieber- looking motherfucker.They are comedy actors playing a truly crap Metal band.Clueless little shit.

  • @laiosto hey dude calm down dont take ur anger out on me its not my fault ur mom and dad molest u every night. and do i really look like JB? oh good. a lot of girls think hes hot. mother fucker

  • @PacManGoneFluffy If you like 12 year olds .I molest your mum and your daddy.I told your mum to use the coat hanger for a DIY abortion when she was pregnant with you but the silly bitch didn't do the job right and only brain damaged you.

  • @laiosto im 16 dumb shit. and my ma dnt have a uterus so HA!!!! lmaooooo

  • @PacManGoneFluffy Yeah,you are a truly dumb 16 year old shit.If your ma doesn't have a uterus,then how did she give birth to you numbnuts?Are you adopted?Or did the stork drop you off down the chimney?Google how a woman's reproductive system works Einstein.Your mum was the worst fuck I had,she just lay there in the starfish position and I had to piss on her to get her to cum.

  • @laiosto she doesnt cuz she got it taken out 3 years ago dumb fuck. wow u really need to think about these things u bastard. go suck ur bfs cock

  • @PacManGoneFluffy That coathanger obviously damaged her uterus as well as leaving you a congenital moron.

  • @laiosto dude y u hatin u must LOVE this band or u blew one of them.

  • @PacManGoneFluffy Once again for the morons out there,they aren't a real band you stupid piece of pig shit.They are some of the funniest comedians of the 80s.Thank God your mum had a hysterectomy,it means she can't produce anymore dumbfucks like you.Brian May had a boner for them as he played and helped on this video.As dumb as the comedians act,the fact that idiots like you think they are a real band shows how truly stupid you are.

  • @laiosto ok i know they r a comedy band. i dnt have anything against that, it was funny OKAY?! dude lets settle this and just be friends, i dnt want any more trouble man.

  • Why? Why? Why? Why?

  • Rik, Ade & Queen. I AM IN HEAVEN!!

  • My dad has the orginal tape to this we listen to it all the time CANT BELIEVE I FOUND IT ON YOUTUBE :D so happy cause of course you cant get the music off tape into a music file to put on my ipod so this is great!!!!

    thank you so much

  • This is worse than never shout never's cover

  • Bad News are "Comic Strip"

  • STILL BLOODY BRILL!  :-D

  • 1.56 has to be one of the funniest things i have ever seen.

    "no, no, no, no, absolutely not!"

  • @hammonday I can't listen to ANY version of Bohemian Rhapsody without slotting "absolutely not!" in at the appropriate time :D

  • I heard that John Deacon actually plays the bass on this record, and that he provided backing vocals for the opera section, anyone knows if this is true?

  • Wait, why the hell do they get a big skull on stage like Spinal Tap?!

  • Actually Brian May was producer when they recorded this, Freddie Mercury declared it was the best thing he'd ever heard. Lemmy was another guest on the Bad News album.

  • Blew Queen off the fucking stage.

  • @Gyphia The actors did play the track themselves.. that is true but Brian did actually add a third guitar for the bad harmony parts.. I've known that before the internet even existed...

  • Bad News are genius. We even named my old band WGK after their song Wariors of Genghis Khan. If you like 'em, also recommend Steel Panther.

  • is this the extra's real for waynes world?!

    funny cover

    when they start singin WILL NOT LET ME GO

    i starting dying of laughter

  • Leaves Queen for dead! Vocal range far beyond the likes of Mr. Mercury.

  • i Love Tham !!!!

  • I love the fact that half the comments are by idiots that just don't get it.

  • Oh Dear...

  • you got to have talent to fuck it up this bad lol!!!

  • people keep getting it wrong:

    1979 - Spinal Tap was already appearing on TV

    1983 - Bad News TV debut

    1984 - "This Is Spinal Tap" came out

    so technically spinal tap still did come first. i'm not saying anyones better, just getting the real facts out

  • @aydooknow Promotion for "This Is Spinal Tap" actually began in 1982. Billboard advertised 'Smell The Glove', complete with the 'greased naked woman' cover, around the time that it (fictionally) would've come out. The TV ad pushing Tap's nonexistent "Heavy Metal Memories" LP aired in 1983.

  • well, this is better then glee

    Bad news= best Parody band ever

  • 117 people had their sense of humour gland removed at birth.

  • @GitarStu Don't try it, Faggot...

  • @MrMantura What the fuck are you on, cock sucker? Are you just on a "randomly pick someone out and insult them" day? Go fuck yourself.

  • They were right! EMI are full of shit! And now they have been bought and totally mismanaged they are dead LOL. One down three to go ;)

  • Hahahaha XD I think perhaps they might have played a wrong note in there somewhere but I'm probably wrong lmao

  • MAMAAAAAAA!!!!!!

  • My sides are hurting from laughing. I'm going to have to watch the episode online now. I've only seen the first one so far.

  • I love Ade with hair, and they make rik more and more androgynous with less and less clotheseach time!

  • I love Ade with hair

  • It's so bad it's funny! And that 'reading of the contract' was fucking amazing.

  • @80sHairMetalSucks It's supposed to take the mickey out of them!

  • Brian May produced this song, and their whole album. Check wikipedia.

  • omg.... at least, it is obvious that it´s meant to be that bad.

    and in a very disturbing way, it actually is funny... I think.....

    I´ve read that brian may is interested in cover versions of queen´s songs and I know that he leaves comments about some versions on his web page -

    does anyone know if he ever wrote or said something about this one??

  • @AliLu07 Actually, he wrote and played this version himself.

  • @Ronindennis I even might have heard about that before... but I´ve found this vid by coincindence and it didn´t invoke any associations at the first moment...

    thanks a lot for your answer anyway^^

    it´s great to see that at least a few musicians that are as famous as brian may don´t take themselves too seriously - whereas others go bananas^^

  • @Ronindennis yep he did

  • @Ronindennis and produced their album.

  • @Ronindennis did he fuck

  • @tonymontana1974 Get your anger genes removed, son, do the world a favour.

  • @tonymontana1974 Actually Brian May did play on this track.. he also produced it.. he produced both bad news albums.....

  • @tonymontana1974 It was produced by Brian May It was his idea to release it

  • @tonymontana1974

    He really did!!!

  • @tonymontana1974 Brian May did have a big hand in the music for bad news, remember they were meant to be shit that was the whole point of the show

  • The band continued to tour throughout most of the decade and released an eponymously titled album, consisting of thrashy rock songs punctuated by frequent squabbling amongst the band's members. Brian May produced the record, which included a cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".

    So in answer to your comment.... get your facts straight first !!!! 

  • @Ronindennis Correct, Brian May wrote 90% of the music for Bad News and also played most of the guitar in the recordings, including the solo in this making it sound bad.

    Comedy at its best!

  • @AliLu07 Brian May actually done the guitar in this song as well as the rest of the guitar playing on the LP. I've had this on vinyl for years it's bloody funny. It's from a series called 'The Comic Strip' which is the lads from the 'Young Ones' (check out Mr Jolly lives next door...hilarious).

  • @AliLu07

    He produced the record!

  • @AliLu07

    He actually was Bad News' producer!

  • @AliLu07 he produced this song (Brian) and Freddie found this cover very funny

  • @AliLu07 Actually Brain May produced the record for Bad News

  • @BethMayallMcQueen

    And he plays the guitar solo himself too :-)

  • i have bad news and more bad news and have never seen this???

  • @kayotic81 Exactly what I was just thinking?

  • Whaha lol my teacher showed this vid in the lesson :'D

  • It makes me laugh when people come on and say negative comments about this, like the anonymous idiot and mrmalade. It was meant to be bad that was the whole point of the film, they were a really bad rock band. SPOOF is the key word here.

  • @nulebon

    well to be fair, mrmarmelade is actually quoting the soundtrack "load of bollecks" (bollocks spelt bollecks) is a quote from the album so hes not actually making a negative comment but in regards to others yeah your point is right

  • Turned it off after MAMA

  • Lol 4 girls waiting XD

  • This is awesome, lol

  • load of bollecks

  • Loved these guys when they were called...Spinal Tap.

  • @astropeck123 well, this came BEFORE Spinal Tap...

  • @MinervaAshford actually... Bad News released this in 1987. This Is Spinal Tap was released in 1984.

  • @nikkilixx Bad News formed in 1984, Spinal tap was formed in 1979, but didn't get anywhere to 1984 with the movie

  • @nikkilixx what I'm saying is the Bad News Tour film was done in 1984 before Spinal Tap did theirs.

    It was only a few months before, but it's inaccurate when people say Bad News are a copy of Spinal Tap.

  • @MinervaAshford Plus they were ten times funnier. I've been looking for these guys for years!

  • @jdallman6 true! they're hilarious!

  • esto ES rapsodia bohemia

  • This is the best cover of Bohemian Rhapsody in the universe.

  • LMFAO! I'm so glad this was made!

    I wish I still had the cd.

    I love when Rik's wig comes off, lol!

  • Comment removed

  • funnyy

  • MAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFUUUUUU­UUU

  • Haha, listen to all the mistakes and bad drumming. That must be them really playing.

  • Reform for Donington 2011 !!!!!

  • @modoZaffa haha, classic, I wish I had been there....stop throwing things!!

  • The whole album has been produced by Brian May (of Queen) and he also played the guitar on this version bohemian rhapsody (though not visible in clip).

    It is Brian May himself who destroys his own solo!

  • Blow Fucking Queen off the stage!

  • WE'VE GOT TO PLAY LOUDER

  • 0:50 - 1:01 oops...

  • i love the MAMA! at the start.

  • This pisses on Spinal Tap,and pre dates them aswell.

  • @scherzomortale spot on. Bad news make me laugh hard!

  • mmmm ade is sooo sexy in that wig:D love it!!!!!!!

  • coz its so bad its so good!!!lol!!!

  • @Gyphia Are you sure? I know he produced it but I didn't think he played on this track. I heard John Deacon did sing on this version though.

  • i thought we played heavy metal..

  • It was "the comis strip presents" (basically the "young ones") for Comic relief.

  • 3:10 is the best worst bum note in history!!

  • @lukenoir you said exactly what i was about to say. that's the funniest note ive ever heard.
