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.
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.
@@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.
@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.
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!
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.
@@natashamudford4011 well, you could've not hunkered down and got it. Our daughter is still recovering from it two months after getting it. 107,099 didn't recover, but it seems we're adopting the commie motto of "so we lose a couple of hundred thousand, so what?" lunacy.
@@spvillano I think the numbers are inflated, and that the tests are inaccurate. Also, that untold numbers have already had the virus and recovered.

I suppose that I can "blame" (credit) my mom for making sure that I ate healthy foods during my childhood. Absolutely no one is going to protect my health better than I am. Many people seem to think that Healthcare is a basic right, but I disagree. I see it as a basic personal responsibility. Meanwhile, as most were staying home from their jobs, I just started mine in March. Not that mine is essential, but I am fortunately in a red state, and in the south, where warmer temperatures subdue the virus, and vitamin D is plentiful. Since the dawn of time, pestilence has existed. Large numbers of people have died from them. There is no reason to think that we are immune, just because it is the current year. Welcome to the Human Experience.
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!
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!
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!!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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".
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 .
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 :)
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!!! 😬🤣😂
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).
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!!!
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.
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!
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 ua-cam.com/video/N_uuTAXlrtM/v-deo.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!
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!
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 think I have seen every Corona cover on UA-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!
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.
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)
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.
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!
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!
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!
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! 😊 😊

Or taking a test Or having a vaccine Or having the children vaccinated Or meeting grandma Or should vaccinated people be able to swim, shop, fly without a test (but still wearing a mask)
@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.
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?
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.
My face hurts from smiling not just at the humor but at every well-executed detail. Watching this over and over. Thank you for brightening my day!

Have you seen the “Hello” parody? It’s brilliant! Cheers 🍻
I don't know.. I liked the Donald Trump version much better. Have you seen Maestro Ziikos?
Tan Jacky
Maestro Ziikos is a legend...!👍🏼
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!

This was THE BEST EVER parody yet. Man oh man, i busted my gut laughing. I love great humor and this is on point. 10 out 10 man👍👍👍👍🌲🎁🇨🇦
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!
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
This only demonstrates how universal the song is......good job Sir and once again...Freddie Mercury was the greatest.
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!
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.
You had me at "is this a sore throat?"
I love how we’re keeping the memories of Freddy alive... great job ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks! Don't forget to subscribe! =)
@@InVocaMusic A little inspiration for the future with a 14-year-old boy in isolation playing all parts of Bohemian Rhapsody ua-cam.com/video/N_uuTAXlrtM/v-deo.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!
Parody is the gentler way of calling out people for ridiculous behavior. Bravo!
ITA!
Parody Is Great!!! And Covid19 Is Life & Death!! Mask The Fuck Up!!!😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
😂😂😂😂😂
"I just walked by a man, didn't mean to make him die" has nothing gentle about it. That one grabbed me by the throat and squeezed - hard.
I'm an older man but I grew up listening to Weird Al Yankovic, who actually made an honest living doing this sort of art!
Absolutely beautiful! Brilliant in every way. Freddy is smiling.
This will go down as one the great parodies of Covid 19 for 2020! Stunning!
It is surely enjoyable in my opinion.
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!
Well done, you deserve an Emmy for your performance.
Then I hear a high pitched 'Meeeeeeee' Teary eyed hearty laughter -- Bravo!
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
"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?
Wow, the vocals, the editing the rewrite of this song is amazing! Raul you are super talented!
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
I think I have seen every Corona cover on UA-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.
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.
This guy is really talented!
💖🤗👆
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
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)
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.
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!
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!
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!
I loved it! The editing is outstanding!
Best Covid related parody I've seen! You've got mad skills
Have you seen this one? ua-cam.com/video/2DDXG-dHugc/v-deo.html
Thank God for talented human beings helping us get thru difficult times! Bravo!
Absolutely fantastic! You should send this to BBC news, I'd love to see them play it :-)
Send it to Steve Colbert
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! 😊 😊
Ladies and Gentlemen the Official Theme Song of "2020"!

@@scolipede1549 "The CDC said NOTHING!!! PUT YOUR MASK ON!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!(9 years in the future).
Geniusly clever and that's not even a word but I dont care.
It’s a rip off of the one posted by Grounded Show..
ua-cam.com/video/lr_tEdQvFcc/v-deo.html
actually ua-cam.com/video/KTY6qGMsvxo/v-deo.html is the earliest version with these words (that I could find). also Grounded Show just re-uploaded Adrian Grimes video
ingeniously
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
He's arguing with himself about washing his hands in the video... Now, the argument would be about wearing a mask! XD
Or taking a test
Or having a vaccine
Or having the children vaccinated
Or meeting grandma
Or should vaccinated people be able to swim, shop, fly without a test (but still wearing a mask)
👏 👏 👏
Or getting the jab!!
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.
Pandemian Rhapsody :-)
Nailed it!
Pandemian Sore-Throaty lol
Perfect!
This is my favourite version of this song, and I've shared it as widely as possible :) Wonderful creativity
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.
Brilliant! Freddy would approve :-)
Thanks! Don't forget to subscribe! =)
InVoca / by Raúl Irabién you better send this to Queen and Adam
Loved it. Ellen
FREDDIE
I doubt it he died at the hands of aids is anybody writing a fkn song about aids
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 ;-)
@@hansdevreught5459 of course! 😂
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.
@@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?
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
Dude, the video is so well done. And Dana's lyrics, spot-on! Great job to all of you.
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.
