Cool!

This “Bohemian Rhapsody” flash mob is glorious.

When Queen presented “Bohemian Rhapsody” to EMI, their record label, the suits hated it but released it anyway. When much of the public first heard it, they were confused and, in some cases, ridiculed the song. I remember hearing on the radio for the first time and the DJ who introduced it, basically said, “Here’s the new Queen song. Make of it what you will.” You could tell from his voice that he thought it was a load of bollocks.

That was then. Today, the song has been streamed and viewed billions of times. It’s one of the most beloved songs in the entire rock canon. Want proof? Check out this “Bohemian Rhapsody” flash mob featuring 30 singers on the streets of Paris. The production values are insane. (Via Pete)
