FULL TITLE: ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Played On A 100-Year-Old Fairground Organ | You’ve Never Heard Anything Like This…
Bohemian Rhapsody Will Never Be Heard The Same Way, Again…
If you were to make a list of rock songs that should be given a 5-Star rating, there are many songs that should be included. Stairway To Heaven, Hotel California, Thunderstruck, Dream On, Welcome To The Jungle, and many others. But there is one song that truly stands out amongst them all and that song is Bohemian Rhapsody. Written by legendary Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, this is a song that is still revered by many as one of the (if not THE greatest rock song of all time. It is a song that is classically inspired yet years ahead of its time. With its iconic harmonies and astonishing guitar work, this song deserves its own induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
Since its release, the song has been covered in just about every possible way imaginable. Whether it’s acapella, or piano, or even bluegrass, you name it, it’s been done. But have you ever heard this song played back on a 100-year-old Fairground Organ. Chances are that you haven’t, but that’s about to change and for the better, might I add! What you’re about to watch is the aforementioned get played back on the aforementioned instrument. It’s beautiful and if you’re like me and have a fear of all things circus/clowns/fair etc, quite creepy. Nevertheless it is simply beautiful. Don’t believe me? See for yourself!

Mercury was heading to the Mozart department when he wrote this one.

Listen to this version of We are the Champions, sung Acapella by Freddie Mercury, the best voice ever.

I’m not much of a rock fan any more, and Queen was not my favorite band when I was, but I will agree that:
a. Mercury had the BEST voice of any rock and roller ever (there is not even a close second), and
b. “Bohemian Rhapsody” is the best rock song....

(OK, it’s hard to listen to, but look for their version of Frosty The Snowman. It’s a hoot (or a howl?))

BFL!
You’re just a poor boy from a poor family.
Bohemian Rhapsody is in my top 5 all time favorites.
My brother has spent over 40 years rebuilding these “orchestrals” , player pianos, and theater organs. The way these work and the workmanship on them is amazing!
I think they’d need special dispensation from the Quorum of the Twelve to do that . :)
