The Marsh family rose to fame during the pandemic with their parody rendition of One Day More from "Les Mis"
I thought it would be a nice break.

(60,210 posts)I once was called on to do a parody number to Bohemian Rhapsody. It took hours to write, and days of rehearsal just for that one number. It is NOT an easy to put together! This should get some serious recognition.

by that video.

(14,444 posts)knows that Queen and Freddie Mercury are my greatest addiction. Ill readily admit, Im a little obsessed. If you were in my bedroom right now, you would see why. It is is Queen and Freddie wall to wall. Everyone in my family knows what to get me for birthdays and Christmas
more Queen paraphernalia.
So to the Marsh family:
You made my morning.

I am not an expert by any means, but Ive watched this a half dozen times already and cant believe how well done it is. I know this has already gone viral - and I wont be surprised if they get invited to Kamalas inauguration.

Well, with the polls so tight a week out, we decided to revisit US Election politics one last time, and ambitiously to have a stab at building a parody around one of the greatest songs ever written, Queens Bohemian Rhapsody which was the inimitable mock opera lead single from their album A Night at the Opera released in 1975. It was a monstrous production, created across eight generations of 24-track tape and with hundreds of overdubs, complex layered harmonies, subsections, innovations. And at its core, the spectacular vocals of Freddie Mercury one of the finest singers ever, on top form.
It has been parodied so many times already, including an iconic version by the Muppets (which the kids loved and grew up with), and its been twisted to fit subjects from the menopause to coronavirus. But our chosen subject is the willingness of so many decent people to hold their nose and - likely - vote for Donald Trump in the forthcoming US Presidential Election. We know weve sung about it already twice, and we dont live or vote in the USA. But the whole world has a stake in this election and its a free world. At least, for now. We chose not to riff off the many daft claims, stories, or issues (the cat ladies and cats and dogs have been cut up plenty), but just to try to cut to the fundamentals, and think about behaviours, facts, values, and history. Some of the footage is from the US Congress hearings.
