This is, without a doubt, the greatest thing you will see all day. Even if you think Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" is overrated and/or overplayed -- I'm not personally saying it is or isn't, mind you -- I don't know how you could avoid finding a bit of joy in this video. Indeed, perhaps the only group on the planet who can cover this song and engender good will would be the Muppets. But no more talk. Just enjoy. And thank you to the jillions of people who sent in the tip.

Strange seeing Dr. Bunsen Honeydew in such a rare moment of vulnerability. There's clearly a lot of pain, there.

Ooooh. I love Animal just singing "Mama!" and looking around confused. Adorable!

That made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Beaker part was classic. Who else could've done that part?? Perfect.

Awesome. That's totally in spirit with them as well, with poor Kermit having to try and salvage what was supposed to be productive.

I dunno about overplayed... compared to what, the Titanic song?
Personally, I find the UC Men's Octet version to be more entertaining:

...and in other news, Brian Henson is FINALLY getting what made the Muppets so fucking awesome when his dad was still alive!!! That doesn't lessen the awesomeness of this to me, but actually doubles it!

I'm prety sure the Henson's don't have anything to do with the Muppets anymore.

I'm not sure which is funnier, Animal's "Mama!" or Beaker's rendition of "Galileo". Bring back the Muppet Show!

I'm happy whenever we see the Electric Mayhem playing. The Mahna Mahna guy was a pleasant surprise.

Okay. I think this even beat out Weird Al's Bohemian Polka.
A little bit.

I usually hate the Bohemian Rhapsody, but that was awesome. That video just made my day. It even made me forget about the flu that is currently making me feel like crap!

Brilliant. Everything great about the Muppets in one fell swoop. And great to see some old school characters in there, too.
Anybody know what this is actually for? I've heard a new movie is coming out next year, and this REALLY raises my hopes for it.
MuppetVision 3D still rocks my world, though.

The fact that they threw in some older characters like the veggies, the News Anchor, and the Mahna Mahna guys blows my mind.
Fucking. Incredible.

A pure reminder of why I loved the Muppet Show in its heyday. Awesome.

My first thought when I saw the post title was how in the fuck are they going to handle the "just killed a man" segment? No way will they do that, and this won't work.
I cannot express how pleased I am at how they did it and how wrong I was.

Would the Young Ones (as Bad News) playing Bohemian Rhapsody -- badly, mind you -- engender good will? I think so.

No words can describe the awesomeness inherent in the concept alone, let alone the video itself.

Animal, Vegetables, Beaker, News Anchor, and the Mana Mana guys? Those characters alone performing this would get five stars from me. One thing that was missing, however? PIGS. IN. SPAAAAAAAACE!!!!

That was Fraking GREAT! And the Mahamana guy was in there too! AWESOME!
