Thank you. This was jaw droppingly beautiful. Here, a 74 year old ex hippie, who is amazed by the new age technical world which made this video work. Incredible talent on display here, just incredible! And did I say beautiful too? Freddie I am sure approves a thousand fold too! Brilliant!
Most people don't realize how many hours of work doing one of these takes. This video certainly took days and days of work. FANTASTIC job! Nicely done, Raúl Irabién! Just amazing.
@@griffinb4916 Some of us old timers remember singing in clubs and places with no auto tune. I remember hearing myself on TV once and it sounded nothing like I thought I sounded. Weird, but true.
This has got to be one of the cleverest things I've ever heard/seen in music. I'm a fan of Freddie Mercury and this amazing production is a fitting tribute to him and all who hunker down from COVID 19.

Me too - what a piece! There's a family in Kent went viral (they were on Comic relief) adapting songs for musicals from their living rooms its great! (Comic relief was Total Eclipse of the Heart)
If y'all haven't heard of Tom McDonald, you should check him out. He's an awesome anti-woke artist. He'll make you "lmao" in one song, cry like a baby in the next, and get ya all riled up in another. Him and his girlfriend,Nova, do everything by themselves, and it is top notch! These are two of the most talented people I've ever seen.. don't let Tom's appearance fool ya, the man is a genius!
Man, from a technological perspective and as some who dabbles in video editing, this is a masterpiece!! Your cues, everything..... were perfect! Plus you have an amazing voice and obviously a music background so to see these 2 mesh with such a great sense of humor in a time when humor is so very much needed is wonderful!! Keep it up and follow your dreams. You are gonna go viral soon!
@Tt Miller isolated and avoided it, ended up in the hospital for something else, but on the mend. Our youngest was working housekeeping on a COVID-19 floor, got the virus and two months on is still trying to recover.
Here we are in 2023, covid is still with us and I am still loving this wonderful parody and getting such a kick out of it. Thanks so much for all the trouble you went to to make people smile. Keep well and keep safe. Greetings from Australia.
As a purveyor and fan of lyric bastardizations AND an inveterate fan of Queen, I was prepared for a cute/meh/ho-hum response. Instead I am ecstatic with admiration of every approximate rhyme and of the harmonies and the timing (song and action).. Spot on. Not just the song, but the message. Sorry I am coming so late to this. Amazing how fast things become dated in the Now Times. It was fast enough in the Before Times! In MY mind, it is easy enough to substitute a "wear a mask" message for the "wash your hands" lines. Even that is so Last Week. . Thanks for this!
Right on! A true parody - they followed all the rules and it was a masterpiece. And you echoed my very thought about the mask lines. How appropriate it would be to volley, "Wear a mask! Bismillah, no!I will not wear a mask! Wear a mask!" Cause that's how it's going down!
When I first saw this I thought Oh no not another Bohemian Rhapsody parody... Then I listened. It smacked me across the face. A modern day updated version that I think Freddie would even recognize. I would like to think he might even approve. It's a truly scary re-write. Bravo Raul Irabien.
What's scary ??? That idiots think that this flu will kill you? Come out from under the bed and help inform the young people that when someone dies of old age, it's labeled virus. Just do the math.
I don't know if he really said it, but Freddie Mercury has been quoted as saying, "You can do what you want with my music, but don't make me boring." I think Freddie would agree that you're definitely not boring. Well done!
Thank you for your service. Yeah, we usually say it to veterans and active military, but what else would you call a doctor in the fight against a pandemic? A tip of the hat-- erm, mohawk to you, Doc.
How do you know how proud of you Freddy would have been? Did you know him well enough that you can {correctly} assume that he would have enjoyed this parody? Were you two really tight BFF's and could know what the other was thinking, without them having said anything? Unless you were, you have absolutely know idea how much, {if at all,} Freddy would've enjoyed this parody.
definitely!! , the government of any country ( or TV advertising agent ) couldn't have done it better than this guy has , still 1 of Freddie's best piece of music from Queen.
Words .....5star; singing 5 Star; vocal arrangement 5 stars ; technical arrangement 5 stars. 4.5 Million views well deserved . It just blew me away on every level ......that takes a lot to do,to a 73 year old Slade fan .
FANTASTIC! Grammy and Emmy nominations all around. Beautiful voice, lyrics were incredibly well linked with original, and video production added a nice touch. Sharing it with everyone I know.
Freddie said, "You can do what ever you want with my music as long as you dont make it boring." Holy cow my friend I think he may have meant something like what you just did! Not boring at all, and simply fabulous!!!
Dude, this is epic, I haven't even gone a minute in without recognizing how much work you put into this and how much I already enjoy it. Thank you sooooooo much for your talent and creativity!!!
I worked in Phoenix as an essential worker during the Covid-19 pandemic in Phoenix. I was a cashier in a grocery store. I wore a mask, sanitized my hands, and dealt with a bunch of really great customers. I consumed more alcohol sanitizing my hands than I drank in the previous 12 months. We did have the occasional butt-munch that didn't give a damn about anyone else. We were also less than half a mile from a big hospital that cared for covid patients. We would have nurses come in on their lunch breaks to buy lunch. Some of those poor souls just lost three patients on their first half of their shift and still had another half day to go. These people looked like they suffered from PTSD. I could have used this song during those days. Thank you for sharing! It is now June 2023. It will get better. We will survive. This did bring back the rough times. I did break down and cry. I'm sad for all the people that died but am ❤ecstatic for all the people that lived.
Not really. Randy Rainbow has been doing amazing stuff solo from his bedroom for years, complete with multiple costumes and self-choruses. I particularly love his "Cell Block Tango".
@@Eric1SanDiego1 Pretty sure Melting Man meant the whole effort: performing the multiple parts reacting to each other, pasting the videos together, etc. Not just the lyrics (which were written by someone else).
I've seen a lot of funny ones. This one is BITTER~SWEET and very talented. That kind of singing is GREAT for your lungs! Very good voice. Very real, yet very entertaining, and truthful :)
There is a potential for even greater "parody" if more facts on "Covid 19" were to be considered. The "Humanity is not a virus" video makes an excellent case for the corona virus being nothing more then the cells' natural producing exosomes that occur as part of the immune response to a wide range of causative factors beyond that just a "virus." Testing is almost useless due to the high degree of false positives. The test itself is not based on the scientific "golden standard"! The "cause of death" reported as if it was from a corona virus is now known to be inflated by monetary incentives given to the reporting physician. The greater parody of all of this could be overwhelming!
Freddie's been helping us all along. This song, and surely you know the Freddie T-Shirts: "No mask on your face, you big disgrace, spreading your germs all over the place".
Ironically, this lockdown has exposed a (formerly unknown) real wealth of talent!!! I’m enjoying a lot of these parodies, more than the original songs!!! 😬🤣😂
Wow. This made me laugh and cry at the same time. A serious message done with humour and care. Thank you for this. It must have been a lot of work! Wonderful.
@@InVocaMusic A little inspiration for the future with a 14-year-old boy in isolation playing all parts of Bohemian Rhapsody th-cam.com/video/N_uuTAXlrtM/w-d-xo.html
I've been keeping the memory of Freddy and Bowie alive by playing "Under Pressure" at least once a day since the global pandemic was declared. This song is good, too!
I am curious is Brian May has seen this yet? I know he as well as the rest of the band including Freddie himself would be in stitches and would put this on their main page. I love it, its simple, humorous, and gets the point across as well...stay safe and stay home.
This was absolute masterpiece - LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of work and coordination and learning a gazillion parts. WOW! So impressive - - especially the range of the singer. WOW!
I love Queen, and I Really love this RENDITION with an excellent twist! Congratulations and keep up that Spirit that you've given us at this time of needs, THANK YOU!
I think I have seen every Corona cover on TH-cam, and they are the best, but, I just enjoyed the best of the best,.Thank you so much for the laugh (Gotta lay low, gotta lay low). I almost fell out of my seat!
Raul: This is hysterical! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! I am not only subscribing to your channel, but I am sharing this with all my friends. Excellent! Cheers.
So AWWEsome, it knocked me to my knees, until I jumped up and sang along while waving one hand with a lighted candle. Wow! Raul Irabien, you absolutely ROCKED that SONG!! And FLATTENED that CURVE at the same time!!! Bravo, Bravo, Bravo! (Clapping by myself)
Super video, serious message delivered with humour, excellent work sir, you should become famous, if this gives even a few of the 39 thousand viewers a moment's pause for thought about the consequences of ignoring this awful disease then it will have done as much as any straight government message, well done!
Marvelous! Ray Stevens has a coronavirus parody that ranks right up there. This is on a par. Having spent two months in hospital because of that dratted disease, I would not mind performing a few parodies myself. Very well done, all of you involved with this. Be proud!
Super excellent and so clever!!!!!! Humans who make us laugh especially when dealing with serious things are so special. God bless you. So very talented.
Now there's a curve we won't want to flatten! His singing is ace, and of course, the same thanks and gratitude should be shown to the parody lyricist, who made this a much better BR parody than some I've seen so far. X-D I've not laughed so hard in a good while! That line "Covid-19 has a sickness put aside for me, for me" got me good. X-D
Oh wow, this got me very emotional. What a tremendous amount of work. Sad lyrics, accurate execution. It's one of the most bittersweet pieces of brilliant creativity I've seen during this shut down. Brilliant.
@@lynnenewell2016 why? Do you think he's not serious enough? Or too serious? I know what I think and why I find it funny, but I'm curious, why do you find it disrespectful?
Why hasn’t this gone viral? Why isn’t it on Queen Official? Love this. Fantastic. Thank you so much for this genius piece of art and all the work you out in to make it. You are very talented. Sending love from Australia.
I remember one of the first videos I watched after finding out covid was a thing was this one. Amd now, in 2022, I am watching this again. This was the first time I actually heard any version of Bohemian Raspody, and I got to say, the actual instrumental sounds like it came from a fever dream
Hopefully we will get through this as unaffected by it as possible and stay alive and be well and healthy again. I honestly see it as the greatest threat and I am very much afraid of it.
Queen watching this: John: smiles a lot and gives a few chuckles Roger: wondering how this dude came up with lyrics that freddie would approve of when the rest of Queen struggled Brian: very happy about the different hand washing techniques Freddie: laughing his butt off uncontrollably and applauds for like a hour and half after the video ends
I'm speechless in a good way** Honestly, I can't find words to say how much I enjoyed this, thanks. 🌞 🌞 Great work of art with a great message. Whee, Talent! 😊 😊
@KoliKoliKole kk the task force said that if some one has the antibodies of corona and they die from something else that they died of corona, no matter if they were gunned down, hit by a car or committed suicide. After an investigation into nyc corona death's was announced, the number dropped considerably, the federal government gave cities a certain amount for Corona related deaths and so much for people put on ventilators.

Kind of weird that we are listening to this in mid July.
Kind of ironic isn't it......JS
Freddy died of a disease not unlike covid. I think this would be part of Freddie's heaven maybe.
@@pammcdan you tell me - it's the middle of October now and sadly STILL hasn't lost any of its meaning.
Freddie's been helping us all along. This song, and surely you know the Freddie T-Shirts: "No mask on your face, you big disgrace, spreading your germs all over the place".
Brilliant, Darling! Freddie would approve.
Ironically, this lockdown has exposed a (formerly unknown) real wealth of talent!!!
I’m enjoying a lot of these parodies, more than the original songs!!! 😬🤣😂
Enjoying the parodies? Absolutely! More than the originals? Well, not necessarily. Perhaps some of them, some of the time.
Brenda Russell that’s why I just said “a lot of them” not “all”! 😐

Do you consider this a musical talent=th-cam.com/video/xP5KjekGtUc/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant! One of the best parodies I've heard. Dude, you've a great talent. Thank you for publishing your art.
My one dying wish: Can I please go back in time and show this to the guy who said "Bohemian Rhapsody" will never play on the radio?? :P
Wow. This made me laugh and cry at the same time. A serious message done with humour and care. Thank you for this. It must have been a lot of work! Wonderful.
it didn't do jackshit for me
Trueee! Parody but creative and certainly with a great meaning behind it!
Sharon Bell That’s funny. And honest. Thanks for sharing.
I love how we’re keeping the memories of Freddy alive... great job ❤️❤️❤️

I've been keeping the memory of Freddy and Bowie alive by playing "Under Pressure" at least once a day since the global pandemic was declared. This song is good, too!
Students: "I wonder what the a capella teacher is doing in quarantine"
Teacher:
Teachers are as human as their students.
Asking for a pay raise, trying to forbid parents to watch them teach propaganda BS to their children on zoom and going to union meetings !
@@anastasiabeaverhousen9067 Seems to me like you'd actually BENEFIT from some education yourself. Shame they WON'T let you watch.
🤣🤣🤣
@@anastasiabeaverhousen9067 So in other words, you sucked at school and blame the teachers. Cool.
Best line: I see a little silhouette of a man, what a douche, what a douche, did he ever wash his hands, though?
For real, had me rofl.
Tiny hands. Gotta be DOUCHEBAG trump. 😛
Well.....did he? Wash his hands that is? 👏 👌 Hope so! 🤞🤞🤞🤞 NO 🤮....🎶 for me....🎶
He's not wearing a mask? No! 😷
We know who they're talkin' about!
4:16 doesn't matter who you are or where you live everyone rocks out to this part
I love that part of the song, and i dont even have to click on the link to know what part you sre talking about lol
True
Very accurate
One of the best Home made videos I've seen! 🎤🎵🎶 Funny, entertaining, creative, and well done! 👏 I give it a thumbs up. 👍🏻
Absolutely awesome what talent so intelligentmy done
Great job
The lyrics, the editing, the dedication and most important - the VOICE! Utterly brilliant!
I am curious is Brian May has seen this yet? I know he as well as the rest of the band including Freddie himself would be in stitches and would put this on their main page. I love it, its simple, humorous, and gets the point across as well...stay safe and stay home.
I said the same thing, he did an amazing job on the lyrics!
Petition to make Brian May see this xD
@@kimberlyhood4095 he didn't come up with the lyrics. Still, his singing his perfect.
I’ve private messaged this to Brian.
@@NailHeavenAshford WEll done :D
Glad to see so many people commenting that know how much work goes into a video such as this. And it was spectacular! Thanks Raul!
This was absolute masterpiece - LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of work and coordination and learning a gazillion parts. WOW! So impressive - - especially the range of the singer. WOW!
I love Queen, and I Really love this RENDITION with an excellent twist!
Congratulations and keep up that Spirit that you've given us at this time of needs, THANK YOU!
This only demonstrates how universal the song is......good job Sir and once again...Freddie Mercury was the greatest.
This is the best covid parody song I’ve seen so far
My Corona?Chris Mann!
HowToBambi I’ve seen it. It’s good but I like this one more
@pjung can you try this

PJung - Agreed!
sick in New York by Louder with crowder
Then I hear a high pitched 'Meeeeeeee' Teary eyed hearty laughter -- Bravo!
This is genius! I can imagine the work going into this, but I'm glad you did
I think I have seen every Corona cover on TH-cam, and they are the best, but, I just enjoyed the best of the best,.Thank you so much for the laugh (Gotta lay low, gotta lay low). I almost fell out of my seat!
Gotta lay low, masturbate., Don't go to work.
I wonder how many people wee laughing too hard and missed that line.
@@stephenolan5539 .....Yea, I don't think many ppl caught that one. 😏
@@stephenolan5539 ..... I for one did not. Cheers.
"I'm just a poor boy. No job security." Ouch jab to my heart but dying laughing at the genius lyrics :) You guys are amazing putting this together!
Joanne Leung the lyrics aren’t original. Someone already did this parody with the same lyrics. This is copied
@@dflynnphotography Does it matter?
Absolutely beautiful! Brilliant in every way. Freddy is smiling.
Brilliantly done and gets the message across -well done mate
Raul: This is hysterical! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! I am not only subscribing to your channel, but I am sharing this with all my friends. Excellent! Cheers.
Well done, you deserve an Emmy for your performance.
Wow, the vocals, the editing the rewrite of this song is amazing! Raul you are super talented!
So AWWEsome, it knocked me to my knees, until I jumped up and sang along while waving one hand with a lighted candle. Wow! Raul Irabien, you absolutely ROCKED that SONG!! And FLATTENED that CURVE at the same time!!! Bravo, Bravo, Bravo! (Clapping by myself)
You had me at "is this a sore throat?"
Super video, serious message delivered with humour, excellent work sir, you should become famous, if this gives even a few of the 39 thousand viewers a moment's pause for thought about the consequences of ignoring this awful disease then it will have done as much as any straight government message, well done!
Marvelous! Ray Stevens has a coronavirus parody that ranks right up there. This is on a par. Having spent two months in hospital because of that dratted disease, I would not mind performing a few parodies myself.
Very well done, all of you involved with this. Be proud!
Super excellent and so clever!!!!!! Humans who make us laugh especially when dealing with serious things are so special. God bless you. So very talented.
Absolutely fantastic! You should send this to BBC news, I'd love to see them play it :-)
Send it to Steve Colbert
This man deserves more love, get this man more views than Corona Virus cases
Now there's a curve we won't want to flatten! His singing is ace, and of course, the same thanks and gratitude should be shown to the parody lyricist, who made this a much better BR parody than some I've seen so far. X-D I've not laughed so hard in a good while! That line "Covid-19 has a sickness put aside for me, for me" got me good. X-D
He's gone viral.
That's going to be hard
This guy is really talented!
💖🤗👆
Oh wow, this got me very emotional. What a tremendous amount of work. Sad lyrics, accurate execution. It's one of the most bittersweet pieces of brilliant creativity I've seen during this shut down. Brilliant.
Congrats man the work you put in is very much appreciated by people in America that see it. Thank you!
Do me a favor and read my response.? This isn't brilliant. It's disrespectful! 😡
@@tedosborne1462 I'm an American and you DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME.

Why hasn’t this gone viral? Why isn’t it on Queen Official? Love this. Fantastic. Thank you so much for this genius piece of art and all the work you out in to make it. You are very talented. Sending love from Australia.
It has gone viral...like so many things! :)
because there have been many versions of this done also another 1 with almost exact same wording has over 3mil views
I remember one of the first videos I watched after finding out covid was a thing was this one. Amd now, in 2022, I am watching this again. This was the first time I actually heard any version of Bohemian Raspody, and I got to say, the actual instrumental sounds like it came from a fever dream
Brilliant! 18 months later... Covid19 - the musical. 😆
Hopefully we will get through this as unaffected by it as possible and stay alive and be well and healthy again. I honestly see it as the greatest threat and I am very much afraid of it.
It'll flop; we won't be allowed to have enough people in the theatre to make it a financial success. It'll get rave reviews from the critics, though.
Televised!
Will there be enough people around 18 months later to perform this?
@@N1inSK you can always live stream it.
Best Covid related parody I've seen! You've got mad skills
Have you seen this one? th-cam.com/video/2DDXG-dHugc/w-d-xo.html
Yes! A great tribute to Queen! Wow,this one is also great! Love it,if Freddie Mercury were here, I'm sure he would be absolutely happy with this one.
Bloody Fantastic, Brilliant, Excellent I mean shit that was great.... Mate I reckon Freddie would be wrapped with this One
Queen watching this:
John: smiles a lot and gives a few chuckles
Roger: wondering how this dude came up with lyrics that freddie would approve of when the rest of Queen struggled
Brian: very happy about the different hand washing techniques
Freddie: laughing his butt off uncontrollably and applauds for like a hour and half after the video ends
Sounds accurate
Brilliant!
Saint Brian always there to advise and correct our moral compass.
Remind me again Brian how many times did you play Sun City?

Loved it. Ellen
FREDDIE
I doubt it he died at the hands of aids is anybody writing a fkn song about aids
I'm speechless in a good way** Honestly, I can't find words to say how much I enjoyed this, thanks. 🌞 🌞 Great work of art with a great message. Whee, Talent! 😊 😊
I can't believe I found this only now. Genius.
Congratulations on a marvelous rendition of this classic song. The video is amazing. God bless you and stay safe.
How on Earth did he create THAT? That was AWESOME!
I loved it! The editing is outstanding!
Well done, outstanding. Can't understand how some didn't like it.
JOHN PLABST Those are the ones who don’t want to wash their hands...or stay at home.
@Jon Linus thank you, another person whose not a brainwashed cnn sheeple. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
@KoliKoliKole kk the task force said that if some one has the antibodies of corona and they die from something else that they died of corona, no matter if they were gunned down, hit by a car or committed suicide. After an investigation into nyc corona death's was announced, the number dropped considerably, the federal government gave cities a certain amount for Corona related deaths and so much for people put on ventilators.
Absolutely freaking brilliant!!! I'm going to spread it around...
Superb
you're supposed to stay indoors and NOT spread it around...
I hope you mean this song not the virus ;-)
