Bohemian Rhapsody Rendition by Intoxicated, Arrested Man Goes Viral (VIDEO)
The YouTube video that shows and intoxicated Canadian man in the back of a police car singing the entire song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen has gone viral collecting nearly a million hits in the three days since it was uploaded to the video sharing site.
The man impressively is able to make his way through the whole song, only missing a few words, and even provides for the instrumental interlude all by himself.
The video was uploaded to YouTube Wednesday, March 28. And at last check on March 30, the video had almost 800,000 views.
The description on the video states: "This guy got arrested for intoxication and didn't agree with the charges. After pleading his case, he decides to belt out his emotions...through the music of Queen."
During the beginning of the video the inebriated man denies "having been sort of intoxicated, as you proclaim." Then after a few moments of silence, perhaps to gather his thoughts and to set the mood he begins his rendition of the song by slurring the first few words.
The man does begin hitting his stride after the first few moments of the classic Queen 1975 hit "Bohemian Rhapsody."
At the end of the video the arresting police officer, who was lucky enough to have had a front row seat for his passengers performance tells him to "calm down."
The man then quiets down, puts on his glasses and as the officer opens the door of the police car asked the police officer "Do you have to cuff me?" to which the officer responds, "Are you going to behave?"
The man then said, "Physical violence is the least of my priorities."
Queens' "Bohemian Rhapsody" is the only song that has ever reached the top spot on the U.K. charts twice. The first time was in 1975 and the second time was in 1992, when it appeared in the film "Wayne's World."
