Queen’s _Bohemian Rhapsody_ is a staple of classic rock FM radio and has been reinterpreted by such artists as the Muppets and William Shatner. Now it’s been turned into a five minute crime drama with spoken dialogue taken directly from the song’s lyrics.

Very noir.Good production values. That’s nice to see these days!

But with all that effort, they couldn’t have found some way to fit in the part they skipped? I mean, they figured out how to get “Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?” and “Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.” to work.

Any way the wind blows…

Tweeter and the Monkey Man should be next – it could be a full length movie.

The most obvious way would be to continue the banter with the cops, but that was already seeming stretched thin by the end.

_Number 9,  
Number 9,  
Number 9,  
Number 9,  
Number 9,

How many times can I do that without a copyright violation.🙂
