All Your Bohemian Rhapsody

June 27, 2005 6:53 PM

All Your Bohemian Rhapsody Are Belong To Us. The entire infamous Zero Wing opening re-animated and scored to Queen. Yeah, AYB died over two years ago, but give the guy a break, it probably took him that long to animate it. (3 MB, Flash)

I'm embarassed to have watched that.

...and on further thought, I wish I'd never watched it to begin with.

I liked it.

More video game intros need guitar solos.

Ummm....

Can I have those minutes back?

A lot of you may be saying to yourselves right now, "oh, I'll just watch it. How bad can it be?"

That way lies madness.

I thought it was amusing. But I am a bad person.

I should have listened to yhbc.

I only watched the first 30 interminable seconds, and I was ready to set myself up the bomb just to end it all.

Truly, truly awful. And I wanted to like it, really I did.

Well, that made my time.

Certainly a poor use of making my time, though.

I thought it was fabulous. I must be a bad person.

I feel lame for posting this, but...

In a similar spirit, Titanium Rhapsody.

Actually, I got to hand it to them. Usually, most ideas that seem really really brilliant and really really funny when you're really really stoned don't survive into the next morning. These guys nurtured that nugget for many many months.

Hats off to tenacity!

It started slow, but it really got there in the end.

I laughed. I thought it was decent singing too for something like this.
posted by state fxn at 9:42 PM on June 27, 2005

Whoa. I shut that off really fast. Please update the FPP to say "scored to a really bad cover of Bohemian Rhapsody with new lyrics that are poorly sung."

You are a bad bad man.

Unreasonably amusing... good post.

Xquzyphyr, that was horrible. Not in a 'so bad it was good' way either. Horrific even. So bad in fact that I felt compelled to snarf it so I can infect it upon my friends.

piratebowling, Titanium Rhapsody is pure art! Like a Picasso or a Garfunkle.

Thank you both. q:

I just couldn't get high enough.

The air guitar is, like, brilliant!
Also, I cannot believe I watched that entire thing.

This killed more brain cells than a hard night of drinking.

See, when you have this funny thread, full of compelling reasons not to watch something...it of course has the opposite effect.

Damn you.

That was awesome.
posted by Tlogmer at 2:06 AM on June 28, 2005

Thanks, that rocked! I'm glad me and my friends are not the only ones who still greet each other "what happen" and answer our cell phones with "main screen turn on".

...Are we?

Someone in my apartment complex has "AYBABTU" as their personalized car tag. I should let them know about this.

you mean "set up myself the bomb", of course.

i was actually wondering if even quonsar could manage to adequately snark this post. note that he had to actually wait for someone else here to riff off of :)
posted by spiderwire at 2:10 PM on June 28, 2005

I tell ya, whoever transcribed and MIDI-fied that guitar solo into keyboardness nailed every. single. goddamn. note.

That takes some talent, so hats off for that.

I laughed some, it's not horrific, but not my favorite, mostly because the lyrics are adapted awkwardly. I probably couldn't have done better, so I say, Bravo!

I watched it. twice. Pretty good result for what they had to work with....
