One of the most popular groups of all time is Queen. It just seems that when we hear one of their songs playing, it makes us want to get up and dance. I know that when I hear “Another one bites the dust” or “We will rock you,” I have to turn up the volume. Of course, they have many songs but one of the most popular is Bohemian Rhapsody. That song has been performed so many times by so many different people, it is hard to keep track.
Bohemian Rhapsody is a six-minute song, which was extremely long for the time. Ever since it was released, it has kept people singing. It opens up with a ballad, goes through an operatic passage and ends with hard rock. It’s the best of all 3 worlds. As you can imagine, it took a lot of talent for Queen to perform Bohemian Rhapsody but there have been many other groups who tackled it since the death of Freddie Mercury. That would include this group, which does it in a rather unique way.
You don’t always see college men who are dressed like this group. They are standing next to each other on the stage in ties and jackets and they all match perfectly. As it turns out, they are an a cappella group from the University of California, Berkeley. They take their performance of Bohemian Rhapsody and give it a unique spin. In the end, the audience can’t stop laughing.
One of the things that they do to make the song their own is to throw in some fancy footwork. The choreography makes it just right and there are some solos thrown in the middle. They do the song as you would expect but eventually, they get to the musical parts and they do those a cappella as well.
When they are approaching the three-minute mark, the crowd is laughing really hard and when they are approaching the four-minute mark, one of the men hits a high note that leaves the audience stunned. That is when the choreography goes even further.
This is something you have to see to appreciate. You can watch it in this video:
