Remember Wayne and Garth's headbanging rendition of Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in 1992's "Wayne's World"? No matter who sings it, the 1975 hit is just one of those songs that will always bring on a few laughs. And it looks like the Muppets are getting in on the action, too. Known for putting their own twist on popular songs like Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild" and The Beach Boys' "Kokomo," Miss Piggy, Gonzo and Animal always seem to know how to rock these songs out.
From the operatic section to Animal's emotional and confused interpretation of the "Mama" section, the Jim Henson crew brings all the Muppets together for a very entertaining performance -- further proving that hit songs never go away, especially if the Muppets cover them.
Enjoy!

Leave it to the genius masterminds behind the Muppets to create such an outrageous and fantastic rendition of the Bohemian Rhapsody by Freddie Mercury and Queen.
I have to admit that, along with Find Me Someone To Love, Bohemian Rhapsody has always been my favorite Queen mini Operatic song.
Freddie and lead guitartist Brian May were the creative artists behind all their productions and the music world lost a one in a million musical magician when we lost Freddie but now, even the little fans of the Muppets, get to enjoy and laugh at one of the best works Freddie ever came up with.
Bless you Frank Oz and Jim's son (whose name I'm blank on) for putting forth this fabulous effort and honoring Freddie Mercury's memory. He's beaming from ear to ear as he smiles down and sings along with the Muppets.

I love The Muppets! I just heard that The National Film Registry has announced that "The Muppet Movie" is on their list of movies to be forever preserved no matter what. You watch this video and you realize why.

I wonder what kids think of this video since many have never been exposed to "Bohemian Rhapsody" but they watch The Muppets.

It would have been perfect anyway... But "Menamena" took it over the top for me! This was SO much fun to watch! I grew up on the Muppets and have ALWAYS loved them. Am I the only one who got to the end and was expecting Kermie to say the last "to me" line, only to have Miss Piggy do the "But Moi" line? Then I kept thinking "WAIT! YOU CAN'T HAVE A MUPPET VIDEO WITHOUT KERMIT!!!!" Love how they ended it... This was just fantastic and I loved to watch it and can't wait to share it with my husband!

Monday Morning Yucks !!!! OMG thank you...it's 6:15 in the a.m., sleepy and grumpy...even before coffee this had be almost rolling on the floor with laughter. I, too, miss The Muppet show. My son and I watched it every Friday night @ 7 in Orlando. It was a can't miss program. What a treat for this early and hopefully no one will complain about it being political...Hush !!!
