Apparently this is new. Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgbNymZ7vqY

An instant favorite - and at least 5 of my friends have posted it to their Facebook pages today.  :)

"nothing reallly matters... but MOI!"

apparently it went viral yesterday. I found it on SFist, which oddly is a site I rarely look at, but happened to click on yesterday.

Late to the party on this, but I can see why it's so popular. Great adaptation. My personal fave part is the line "sharing his life with his monstrosity" and what happens thereafter.

Btw, this was posted on Nov 23, and it's already got 8M+ views in a week. That's big.

I thought the repeated "Mama" bit was a clever way of avoiding the verse about, y'know, shooting a guy in the head, which is not exactly a Muppet-y thing to sing (speaking of rock songs about killing people, as we just were).

As viral as viral gets - they should've released it as a single on iTunes.

And yeah, re "Mama," clever way to avoid the unseemly lyrics.

The visuals are just home movies of the band, but the song was NTM and it's yet another lost bubblegummy gem from the '60s. Salt Water Taffy, "Finder's Keepers"

Sounds like a demo for Jay & the Techniques.  Keep the taffy rollin'!

i love that single drum percussive stuff, whether it's Babalu or Taiko drums or the Brazilian stuff Paul Simon hi-lited on Rhythm of the Saints.  Small observation: I think the reason Desi keeps his head tipped back like that is to avoid having his hair flopping into his face.

John Williams is The Man:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk5_OSsawz4&NR=1&feature=fvwp

That was pretty cool.  the guy's name is Corey Vidal, a Canadian who just turned 23 last week.  I reckon a member or two might even get the hots for him.  But he didn't sing that, he was lipsynching from a group apparently called Moosebutter.  Thank you wikipedia.

Especially for urth and any other Kinks fans:  Just heard Scelsa play this on his pre-Xmas show, hadn't heard it in decades. From a long-forgotten 1977 LP called Kansas City Slickers by a band called The Leopards, this is "Dancing In the Snow" -- their lead singer does one helluva Ray Davies imitation...
