Rolf Harris - Bohemian Rhapsody

[narmolania]

Now I'm sad.... I was brought up to Weird Al.... Not saying he did bad songs, no, mut Harris makes the songs funny by just singing thema bit differently, keeping the words and tune the same... Just making the songs funny for what they are XD And all I knew him for, was him being a hsot to that animal shelter/hospital program....

[RusyBucket]

@narmolania I agree.

[GetALifeDoofus]

ROLF = ROFL

[moonboots69]

i think its great... couldn't give a castlemaine xxxx what you think.

[jackalhunt1]

Rolf Harris was the jack of all trades, of course this isn't as good as queens version, but it was never meant to be. He was an entertainer and my god could he entertain.

[reanaa]

@jackalhunt1 He's not dead yet...and still very much performing =)

[cosycleaner]

No matter how ridiculous you may think this is - it isn't as absurd and tedious as Mercury & Co's pomp rock rubbish....

[PlasmaMongoose]

If they ever remake Wayne's World, they should play THIS version of BR in the car.

[yutu34]

A country version of Bohemian Rhapsody, the world didn't know it, but we needed this :)

[BIGDADDYBUZZARD]

Rolf is a living legend. Everyone needs something to smile about. If you can't smile at a Rolf Harris song, You may want to seek help!!

[TheTomhamilton8]

he is good

[EoinJackson]

LEGEND!!! haha

[BigLii]

@tony26531 that's a bit out of order you keyboard gangster

[MrMonroman]

@tony26531 Please do me a favour-- he's a legend, no need for the abuse.

[CrankCase08]

@tony26531 You need to climb out of your own arse.

[bass234]

@tony26531 you dont have a soul

[8672wragg]

@tony26531 soo do u not like it then....

[tc030564]

love it

[BigLii]

when i first uploaded this video there was no way i ever thought it would end up reaching over 160,000 views xD glad so many people have had a chance to listen to this wonderful man!

[jmaster1324]

not too bad for a cover. better then Shatners but you all know about that. but Nothing beats Queen

[surfysez96]

@jmaster1324 if you're looking for a cover that does it justice - watch Pink's version - tis incredible :)

I do love Rolf Harris though, haha :)

[NoodleGhost]

Hahaha, the moment this started playing I was giggling like school girl..

not sure if i should feel bad or not

[beatchef]

@NoodleGhost It's alright, with the exception of Two Little Boys, most of his songs are played for laughs. See his cover of 'I Touch Myself' by Divinyls :)

[spr66]

Brilliant

[mozgren]

At Last! A version of this song I like! Thanks Rolf!

[Numlocq]

I prefer his cover of stairway to heaven, but this is just awesome lol. Good ole Rofl Harris

[blueeyedtasha]

i listened to 15 seconds and am absoulutly appalled that this aboination could even think he could copy the great freddie.....

[croc97]

@blueeyedtasha He never tried to copy him. If he did it'd be a tribute.

[Numlocq]

@blueeyedtasha He isn't trying to copy it. It's a cover. He did Stairway to heaven as well. Rolf Harris is a legend

[blueeyedtasha]

@Numlocq covers are just that, cant be bothered to write his own music.... dont get me wrong i think hes fab when he writes his own stuff but the new generation have to copy not the old !!!

[Numlocq]

@blueeyedtasha It's not that at all. I am in a band myself. We do covers. Its not because we can't be bothered to write our own songs, it's because we want to cover the songs and keep the classic music alive

[Polyphemus47]

I'm as big a Queen fan as most, but bombast is fair game. Silliness is next to godliness, and God save Rolf Harris!

[swissroll40]

This is absolutely FABULOUS!!!!



[redbakersen]

FRIED GOLD!

[WoodsJulie]

This is awful

[wrangliser]

Rolf FTW

[dlp2006]

fun song, great version

[kitty1968]

i'm a massive Queen fan and i'm hate this it as bad as Jedwood doing it leave Queen alone you bastards

[KRAZZYKARL123]

@kitty1968 I was just about to make that comment... congrats :)

[CharlieFoPresident]

i'm a big queen fan, but this version is brilliant.

[modernwarfaregal]

RR = ROLF ROCKS!!

[markmckaytnt]

rolf is a paedo

[storrmdemonz]

SACRILEGE HE NEEDS TO BE SHOT IN THE BALLS THEN STRUNG UP

[billthebook2]

I must admit a preference for the original version by Queen, but this does bring a hint of the Muppets to the party and none the worse for it!

[anxiousdepressive]

amazing version! i love it!! so catchy and random!

[gwaiguy]

foody blunny. Love the board, jews harp and didgeridoo in the background. Would love to know what Freddie Mercury thought of this version.

[evajom1]

A work of genius.Far superior to the original,and almost as good as the Peter Glaze/Don Maclellan version.

[MrIAMpeanut]

ill be honest i prefer the queen version but rolf still does it greatly. go rolf !!!!!!!!

[mrbishi1000]

What in the flaming hell is a "Queens"! Go for it Rolf! Don't let 'em get you down!

[mezzers12]

ROLF HARRIS IS MY LIFE- NO JOKES.

[whitejmw]

@KonanTheBarbarian777 - lighten up you silly fucker. Rolf is entitled to 'his' version of this classic song by Queen. Anyhow, to my knowledge a group called 'QUEENS' never sung this anyway.

[Dalp1974]

@whitejmw Well said!Rolf,ur a legend......keep rocking!

[buffjohn1000]

lv it

[ttfnrsvpasap]

Queens version is kind of 'grey' if u get my meaning, and only this talented musical genius could turn it into a jollier song and succeed. 3 cheers for Rolf! Hip hip hooray! x3

[maskedracoon2]

Fun guy XD

[legomobster]

Rolf only let Queen cover this so he could earn royalties. So much for artistic integrity eh....

[horseburger]

@legomobster

Freddie mercury wrote this you bell end

[nwbuf]

@horseburger its called a joke sir

[horseburger]

@nwbuf

No it isnt you puddle of a homeless mans urine.

[nwbuf]

@horseburger But it actually is a joke, sir. :)

[horseburger]

@nwbuf

You are a joke you discharge from an armadillo's sphincter.

[buckley54]

much better than the original bvy queen. this one really boogies.

[jagarf]

Looks like James Lipton on that cover.

[kurenchudge]

i love this song by queen but i think there both great for there aspects ;D!

[RenettoRenetto]

if you ever get to see rolf live ! do it !

[pjh28769]

Rolf is a legend... what a guy

[rodnessgates]

in the link, write "gift" before "youtube.com"

[bikemechanic100]

Rolf has been there all my life, legend

[stovell2009]

Rolf is a genius. And he's painted The Queen.

[uskybear]

"Klunk Klick every trip"..........Sure that was Jimmy Saville mate?

[LOAWORKS]

LOVE YOU ROLF... LOVELY, LOVELY MAN ON SCREEN AND IN PERSON. XXXXXXX

[headmess84]

i love the way rolf turned a song about killing someone , being rejected by society , and eventually condemned , into something that could well get into the butlins kids playlist! legend!

[JapStrangler]

All respect to the man, but this is fucking atrocious.

[EddyKnubby]

Rolf Harris is such a gentle man...A genuinely warm person..and an accomplished artist...

A man of many talents..There is nothing fake about him..

[Sparta2310]

Rolf should have got a Knighthood by now. I don't have a great deal of regard for these kinds of honours myself tbh but Rolf Harris deserves the recognition for his hard work thru the years in music and other things. Who can forget his public safety TV Ads from the 70's for learning to swim and his "klunk klick every trip" seat belt ad?

[cenation2810]

Rolf is awesome!

[LIT4NING]

rolf is a genius

[ShadowKreach]

Let's be Honest, everyone was waiting for the End Riff xD

[Brunders08]

rolf harris should be knighted for his services to painting, and especailly his music!, whoever calls this legend anything hateful or spiteful, does not know what they are on about, he is liked wherever he goes and always brings a smile to anyones face, young and old!!!! keep it up rolf!

[TheMrCorniche]

For you pasc

[Loldog1000]

@BigLii Nice video man :) Fking epic song fella

[davidwatson]

I believe Queen need a vocalist .. the next part is kind of obvious, no ?

[ozjenva]

I love Rolf, as a kid I loved his TV shows and his instant artworks....amazing talent.

[TheLostLenore]

The original is awsome, nothing can beat Queen's version but this, it brings such a happy, nice sound to a song that can come over a tad 'emo' sounding. XD

[KyriaWolf]

Awesomes it just goes to show that no matter who sings Bohemian Rhapsody it will still sound awesome. (Though the original by Queen is always the best.) Whether it is sung by Rolf (who's own version is awesome just not as awesome as Queens) or the Muppets (who's version at best was well meh really) Bohemian Rhapsody still sounds awesome!!!!!!

[CarolinePar]

is it just me (I know he's from the Land Down Under) or does this have an almost southern Louisiana USA feel?

[akindamagic2001]

Mwahahaha! The Queen version will always be my fav version, but just imagine what Freddie would've done with a wobble board! I'm sure he would've sneaked one in there somewhere if he'd had one back then hehehe...

[exmagicbastard]

I think Wild Willy played on this

[LissyDu]

it's impossible to listen to this and not smile...

[KingsTramp]

Rolf Harris is great. Taking "Bohemian Rhapsody" seriously is the first step on the road to madness. The second step is taking "Stairway to Heaven" seriously. ;)

[billthebook2]

Bohemian Rhapsody is one of my favourite tracks and Rolf is indeed a talented artisit and singer/musician and a very good sportsman in his younger days as a swimmer but this version SUCKS big time . Sometimes two good things dont make something even better. Sorry but thats my opinion.

[Raysynn]

This was KOOL!!!!!!!! I really enjoy Rolf Harris...remember him from years ago!!!

[spuddy83]

Man I remember him singing this on TV and adding improv comedic lines. "MAMA I killed a man put a pencil to his head, slipped and filled him full of lead" GENIUS!

[1061sarahs]

i been a QUEEN fan for maany thousands of years..

this si such an ace cover version.. many a smile. thanks for putting it on.. cheers

[Selfhealer22]

He only started doing art properly 'cos he was skint didn't he. He's a genius!

[anglianchannel]

queen do a great version of 2 little boys

[anglianchannel]

Now i can see why england transported people to aussie land, imagine this guy in the 18 century doing karaoke to baroque

[clintonearlwalker]

Are u kidding me? This is the first time I've ever heard of this. My dad used to listen to Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport all the time on 45, I like the song also, I've been kind of a Rolf fan for many years. I will say this, at least he sings this song on tune, thats about the best I can say, he ain't Freddie.

[goanfurslf]

Rolf is still the MAN .... way to go .... I can see him with that smile on his dial doing this ...... Great stuff 

[raysrsharp1690]

A legend i had the pleasure to see him 28yrs ago at fairfield halls croydon and last year at glastonbury . An exceptionally talented man

[eaglesonofwill]

Rolf is a genius: I just checked out his life in art show in London: he is not a mere sketcher: some of his pieces are technically brilliant and a self portrait he did was as good as anything I have ever seen: he has emotional and spiritual depths that belie his self effacing demeanour. He is an exceptional human being.

[catlitter55]

Sad.. Does this work? NO..........

[nonniemowse030]

Honorary Knighthood? He's a commonwealth citizen - he's entitled to a real one!

[feckingbillgates]

Long live Rolf Harris!!!!

[ruffoldbird]

the man is a legend, good to see a celebrity not taking himself too seriously. so many celebs are soooo anal, but this guy dont care about looking a fool. he loves it!!! go rolf, keep on rocking an taking the piss out of yerself mate xxxxxx

[radfordm507]

how to murder a brilliant song!!! NO THNKS ROLF. stick to careing for animals and painting!!!

[WiggaMachiavelli]

Ahahahaha.

[Shirila]

Sorry but this is the man the Queen of England commissioned to do her Official portrait. He is more than a "novelty song artist". He is a legend, a highly talented artist and a credit to Australia. Just reading some of the negative comments I felt that some people needed to look beyond the music aspect of his career and see the bigger picture. The guy is 80 and still going strong! Now THAT is the testimony that defines a legend! Get the guy an Honorary Knighthood already!

[richard39bucks]

its comming across tracks like this that make youtube worthwile,

good stuff mate,

thank you :o)

[olsmokey3067]

Queen would be proud 

[DigitalGrotto]

Yee-hawwwwww. Just what the trailer park ordered!! Thanks Rolfy boy.

[tazzaandmattrulz]

lol, this is such a cool version, thank you mr dury for using it in our music exam!!! nothing compared to the original, but....i quite like it. lol!!!=]

[elzombo]

finally a cover I really like! rolf's the man!

[Maninblack0389]

ooh i love it, Rolf you are a true legend, you deserve a knighthood

[ian507]

different but hell i like it

[Split10]

LOL....Great version.

[Dadio0001]

Rolf... You the man .

[8269998]

Did this man actually invent Rolfing?

Where is the nearest Rolf Course?

Is there actually an Italian called Galileo Figaro?

[allegroboy0]

WOW

[JonGUK]

excellent!

[skedopolis]

Sent shivers down my spine! One of the best covers I have ever heard. This and Devo's Satisfaction...

[floppetylove]

every song should have a wobbleboard :)

[Shabasalisk]

Beelzebub definitely has a devil put aside for Rolf. He rocks!!!

[russell56443]

LOL,Never heard of him before!

Thanks Karl ;0)

[AustDingo]

Fucking Brillant!!! Thank you so much

√√√√√, facebooked and Faved

Dingo

[SlaveCharolette]

[TheZanipolo]

@SlaveCharolette lol that's going a bit far!

[willobi]

wheres the thrash wobble bord i love it

get on mate .

[BigLii]

glad you're all enjoying this amazing song!

[floppetylove]

well thisisthe most cheerful version ive ever heard =)

might be an improvement... especially with the wobbleboard

*runs for cover under a hail of thumbs downs from 'true' Queen fans*

[andrewxeslt]

Thought Queen wrote this...surprised...Mercury did a better job by far.

[tomazco]

Typical american, completely NOT getting the joke...

[TheTomAndAbbyChannel]

i think both versions are awesome

[CrinkleCutBeatroot]

@andrewxeslt (つд⊂)

[ingl0rius]

This is so shit

[Rinser187]

Rolf Harris is amazing

[tribeworld1]

AWESOME!1

[Loncer90]

rofled the whole song xD

[AlistairSylance]

@Loncer90

you mean rolfed.... :P

XD

[Loncer90]

hahah xD

nice one xD

[J4K31]

no way is he a legend. he may be talented at painitng but that's it

[grazzer67]

Rolfs da man.

[EarlJohn61]

I would love to hear Rolf do a version of Kylie Minogue's "I should be so lucky" lmfao

[ThanksforJesus]

I wish Rolf Harris was my dick, I'd get laid so much more often.

[PureZOOKS]

@ThanksforJesus that is the weirdest compliment ever, can I use it?:D

[CAD3T5]

@ThanksforJesus AND your groin could play the wobble board - nothing impresses a girl more than phallic virtuosity!

[chickenlampbrent]

I think I wet myself, excuse me...

[Peace4Frogg]

i wish rolf was my father

[matthewl21]

I prefer Weird Al's version, but this one is always fun to link to, just for the idea of having Bohemian Rhapsody with a wobbleboard.

[DetonatorOrgan]

Pure genious

[QueenJneeuQ]

He killed the song.

[HaniiPuppy]

He's a comedy singer, don't take it seriously lol.

[arjomac]

Deserved to chart in the UK. OK so it was only one week at no. 50 but who cares ... lighten up folk it was supposed to be FUN !

[friedwart7]

Crazy bastard!!! No-one wobbles Bohemian Rhapsody without punishment!!!!!! :-)

[ThePunkRockZombie]

Oh Christ

[floppetylove]

well...its different... an upbeat bohemian rhapsody...WITH A WOBBLE BOARD! you got to love it =)

every song needs a wobble board

[SolidGoldCEO]

He sounds a bit too joyful when he sings "momma just killed a man"

[howlingwooolf]

Queen & Rolf Harris - Bohemian Rolfsody

watch?v=M6B5F-CMqQk

[JoesGunnaKillYou]

This is awesome. That is all.

[RaggyFish]

Massive Queen/Freddie fan as well, this is amusing but as a Led Zep fan too, I have to say his piss take version of Stairway to Heaven was funnier.

[matthewstras]

yeah.

I reckon.

He is the funniest bastard.

ever.

[TorneseP]

Thick aussie bastard? This guy has had numerous number ones and is idolised by the majority of the worlds population, a hero, artist and legend.... go and achieve as much as he has in his lifetime on this earth then come back and call him a thick aussie bastard you un educated philistine

[AllOtherNamesTaken]

@TorneseP "Idolised by the majority of the worlds population"? Really? Come on man, he had a novelty song hit in the 60's, and coasted a little off that for five decades or so.

Anyone who uses a wobble board deserves to never be called a "hero, artist and legend". Harris is trash.

[Ausgurad]

@AllOtherNamesTaken

What kind of idiot are you! Rolf Harris had a brilliant publicity manager. Anyone can do what he has done with the right support! Well done Rolf!

[Ausgurad]

@AllOtherNamesTaken

Rolf Harris is a brilliant performer, and is a credit to Australia. His success is the result of wonderful support from an equally talented publicity manager!

[LittleBigPlanetTime]

@TorneseP What you said there was THE best comeback, brilliant!!

[LOAWORKS]

Well you know what they say, mate... it takes one to know one, eh?

[MultiMidnightToker]

Fucking lol... this is so funnnyyy.... queen right?

[liljokajoe]

shite

[OrsinoNation]

Actually, it wasn't as funny as i'd hoped.

[lamppuzini]

Just like ornleifs said.. I'm also a huge fan of Freddie and Queen(been my whole life), and I LOVE THIS. :DD What a great way to start a morning!

[ornleifs]

Ha Ha - as a big fan of Freddy and Queen I must say I love this. Absolutely Hillarious.

[TheNQBloke]

A good chuckle, a trip into the light fandango!! Or was that Van? How about it Rolf??

[Zingo33]

This is what Queen would have sounded like if Freddy Mercury was an Aussie.

[iunderw2]

sure feddy would have loved this! lets hear some Prodigy how rolf =)

[Zingo33]

It's a hilariously good cover.
