I love how this is such a talented band, and yet the quality seems like they were just like "Screw it, lets just have fun." Still one of the best queen covers out there
Nice cover...and the meows were absolutely brilliant! Bridget's bass solo was sick and Rachael is one of the most stunning women ever....her 'stache has grown in quite nicely!
The trumpet replacement on the guitar solo. This cover makes me so happy, because of how much fun they had with it, and how much of themselves they put into it
WOW!!! We just saw LSD two days ago at Sonoma State and even though Bridget talked about their traditional Halloween covers she gave no hint that they were going to do this song; what an amazing surprise! After the show, on the way to the car I remarked that Rachel had an amazing range and could probably sing in any style she wanted to - blues, jazz, rock, folk - and excel at it. Never would I have guessed that covering Queen might be on that list. Freddie Mercury had one of the most incredible voices in rock with a range that just couldn't be matched. Trying to cover a Queen song is very ambitious and yet Rachel makes it seem effortless - a real testament to her talent.
Can’t believe such video is made from almost 5 years ago...Lake Street Dive is surely talented and entertaining and yet manage to nail a a cover of a masterpiece in a 6 mins video. Bravo!
This band has so much talent. I wonder how many takes it took to get through this live as they did. 332 thumbs down were probably expecting a Queen sound, well those vocals sounded pretty Queen-like to me!
How did I get here? Which YT algorithm can I praise/blame? As an attendee at the Freddie tribute concert way back and an Official Queen Fan Club member I approve of this.
I just saw this video now in 2018 after a friend suggested it. He said, "Did they make this just for Coombes(me)?" I think it's because I've been known to meow the keyboard solo in the middle of "Take on Me". Anyhoo, I love you people and I love this performance.
Hey Lake Street Dive: What you did is a very unique nice, professionell and funny persiflage, what's more: its a musical happening and paying hommage to Freddie Mercury. Nevertheless with a good portion of humor for the band while doing. an a good portion of admiration for Queen itself. Keep on looking apart mainstream, stay individual. Love it!
Wheee! Saw these cats for the first time in Milwaukee 8/23/16 -they play this song -the whole show was a blast and I got to gift them flowers from my garden (Willoway Farm) so they can smell some of that garden love on the road (specifically african blue basil and sweet pea flower..so good)
Oh my god oh my god oh my GAWD!!!! My headphones where not intimate enough for this. I basically needed this inside of me, it was incredible. Keep doing what your doing don't stop, because this was just . . . WOW!
I can't remember the last time i had so much fun watching a music video. This band gets it. Fun, creative and crisp. They are all in sync with one another and seem to roll with the minor (and i mean minor) flaws that make live music so special. Wish i could see you guys live up here in Ottawa Canada. Any chance of that?
Bohemian Rhapsody - The Meow Mix. BRILLIANT! That Romanov Chick really kills it on lead Bass! Killer May Meowing Mike! Always a pleasure. Thank you all!

Every once in awhile I have to pop back to this for entertainment and a one of kind voice, makes the day.
Lisie to their NPR Tiny Desk Concert on UA-cam!!! They have 2

"lets just have fun" is basically the definition of rock.
And it IS fun, isn't it?
And the Freddie mustache is just over the top funny.
How have I not found this until just now? I feel I've been depriving myself of joy for the last 5 years
Samez😭😭
You and i both. Just discovered it today
I am even later than everyone. Where the heck have I been?
You got here years before me… Wow… First time hearing this gem. 💎
And 3 years ahead of me. Lol
I LOVE this band. They always seem to be having fun.
Nice cover...and the meows were absolutely brilliant! Bridget's bass solo was sick and Rachael is one of the most stunning women ever....her 'stache has grown in quite nicely!
I wasn't convinced this song could work without a piano, but that meowing from Mike Calabrese sure put up an argument.
HAHAHA
The trumpet replacement on the guitar solo.
This cover makes me so happy, because of how much fun they had with it, and how much of themselves they put into it
One of the ingredients to your band's greatness is how much FUN you have making music. Mamma Mia this is good.
What a wonderful tribute; I sure Freddie is smiling down from Rock 'n' Roll Heaven
This the most underplayed version ever! Brilliant!
WOW!!!

RedwoodGeorge - Her name is spelled Rachael.
I think Freddie would be happy with this cover especially the blend of instruments and voices, very unique.
best Queen cover, the best Queen presentation and execution... U guys are incredible. Love the arrangement, & Meow solo...
Absolutely lost it at the "mama mia" bit. That's dedication right there.
Best cover ever - and my grey cat, Goldie, says it really speaks to her.
I love you guys! Amazing!
Brilliant group, stunning lead, and perhaps the healthiest and creative senses of humor ever. Delightful stuff!
Eyes open hilarious....eyes closed epic cover! Love these guys and gals
That`s the most brilliant thing i`ve ever heard or watched
You obviously have not seen the original.
Sorry guys, but there are some songs which should never be covered by other groups. This is definitely one.
one of my favorite groups has put comedy in a very challenging song and made it work. you blew me away again. BRAVO
This is awesome. Needs WAY more views (and the laughs to accompany it, too). Great job Lake Street Dive.
the cat solo wll never ever be forgotten!
As a native NorCal dude, I am thrilled that you would honor my home region by filming this there. :D
I saw Queen in concert when I was younger, I love them and this song rocks bigtime!!!
Can’t believe such video is made from almost 5 years ago...Lake Street Dive is surely talented and entertaining and yet manage to nail a a cover of a masterpiece in a 6 mins video. Bravo!
They've done it again! Superb! Looove the bass "solo". Love it all, in fact. Thanks and happy HalloQueen right back.
Marinus Vesseur Hello all queens 2020!!!!
Lake Street Dive covers Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody for Halloween 2015. Perfect.
Freddie would love this 👏
Rachael as Freddie Mercury was the last thing I was expecting today - stellar everybody !!
Cant believe the chops on this gal. UN BELIEVABLE BRAVO. .
just saw you at cascade in redding lots of talent great harms i now have a new favorite female voc. thank you lsd!!!!!
I swear Rachel is the best female singer ever. I’m not even kidding. I love you guys , your so talented!!!
Briana Whitehead - Her name is spelled Rachael.
Damn, her voice is incredible :O
Oh my god, I'm crying at the meow part ROFL
THIS IS JUST THE BEST
Cat meows by Mike automatically make this the best version on the Internet.
I literally just found out about this band and I’m already in love!!!
Love the cats 🐱🐱🐱🐱. And the fantastic base playing. Kudos!
Great cover, and so much fun! Also liked the nod to "Wynne"s World", head banging in the Gremlin scene.
This group just never fails to amaze me ! Very, very talented and eclectic ! Great cover.
This band has so much talent. I wonder how many takes it took to get through this live as they did. 332 thumbs down were probably expecting a Queen sound, well those vocals sounded pretty Queen-like to me!
Excellent....bravo....
Christ, these guys are simply superb - and charming and dear - and very very skilled. Lovem.
How did I get here? Which YT algorithm can I praise/blame? As an attendee at the Freddie tribute concert way back and an Official Queen Fan Club member I approve of this.
Amazing...it gets better every time I watch it!!
This is amazing! Just discovered it! 6 years too late! great art
Simply beautiful. Thank you.
The algorithm showed me this again after 5 years, what an amazing rendition of an amazing song.
OMG! I LOVE you guys!! Can ANYBODY TELL ME WHY I WAITED SO LONG to listen to this one??????? LOL, out of the park amazing!!!!
A favorite song by a favorite group. Awesome.
Best cover ever.....Great....
Freddie must be proud. Great voice, nice work. Thank's.
brilliant. my new favorite band
Was not expecting this from the group. Got to admit they're getting really together. Watchin Rachael Price for a few years. Mucho talent inside her.
I think this is the best queen cover I've ever heard.
and then I get to the meows rotflol
Eesh. This is one of the worst Queen covers I've ever heard.
You mean except for Adam lambert -- right? ;o)
Meow game?
Silenced Lemon second best. The Muppets will always be the best cover of this song.
I have to say, best guitar cat solo I have ever heard. Well done by all, thank you for sharing.
I am without words. Only laughter and excitement of this masterpiece idea!
That bass player is out of this world and damn that vocalist gives me chills.
Best cover of this song
I just saw this video now in 2018 after a friend suggested it. He said, "Did they make this just for Coombes(me)?" I think it's because I've been known to meow the keyboard solo in the middle of "Take on Me". Anyhoo, I love you people and I love this performance.
I love you guys SO much!!!!
That was seriously funny!!!! I had a good laugh at the meows, but the ''mamma mia'' part - simply hilarious!!! LOL You guys are really good!
This is brilliant guys!! Seriously amazing job all four of you!!
Wow. This is great.
You all rock!!! I would like to see more covers of yours, my friends as well! Love youuuu from Brazil!
This is the BEST! Can't wait to see you guys in Davis!!
I couldn't wake up to anything more amazing!!!!!
I am truly amazed by how amazing this. I'm almost in tears, which is something that hasn't happened for a long time.
So talented!!!
This is just spectacular...expect nothing less from the best band in the world!
Perfection. My fav band ever
I love these guys!
Hey Lake Street Dive: What you did is a very unique nice, professionell and funny persiflage, what's more: its a musical happening and paying hommage to Freddie Mercury.
Nevertheless with a good portion of humor for the band while doing. an a good portion of admiration for Queen itself. Keep on looking apart mainstream, stay individual. Love it!
Thousands of copies, few succeed. This one added something to the original, excellent.
This is absolutely wonderful - sheer perfection! Is there anything these guys can't do?
The best version!!
I wish I could give a million thumbs up to this. Soo much fun.
Even Queen never did the operatic part live. Incredible! Great job.
This song, as of October 31st 2015, is officially forty years old. It hasn't aged a day.
+TheStockwell R.I.P. John Peel.
+Nautilus1972 . . . and Kenny "I'll Play This Song 14 Times in Two Days" Everett. Truly, there were giants in those days . . .! :)
And dat bass solo, yo.
+Guy Smiley Bridget knows her Stand Up Melodies fo sho
I legit cry every time I see Bridget laying into the strings
superb sound and mix -- and yet very human -- great!
I think this is the coolest music video ever made. Even Freddy would be impressed. Fantastic!
I don't know of this band but that was one of the best covers of that song I've ever heard and done live!!!! Kudos guys and gals!!! Sexy stash BTW!!🤓💥
oh man awesome! this is called having great fun with incredible talent. Thank you. You have a new fan.
How did I forget that the best part of Halloween was your annual video? This was epic!
My GOSH! You guys are brilliant!
This is fantastic.
Wheee! Saw these cats for the first time in Milwaukee 8/23/16 -they play this song -the whole show was a blast and I got to gift them flowers from my garden (Willoway Farm) so they can smell some of that garden love on the road (specifically african blue basil and sweet pea flower..so good)
Spoof? Satire? Musical greatness? A whole lot of fun!
You guys are freakin awesome! I'm very glad I found you. Thanks for the smiles and the meow meow's!
I love that y'all did this while on tour!!!
Love love love their arrangements, it's a like a familiar new song!
I loved it, greetings from Brazil
that's fun.... great work, need more recognition.
Oh my god oh my god oh my GAWD!!!! My headphones where not intimate enough for this. I basically needed this inside of me, it was incredible. Keep doing what your doing don't stop, because this was just . . . WOW!
I love Lake Street Dive like a love breathing and I love Queen just the same. This is fucking awesome.
This is the best song they've done with harmonies...SO cool...
I can't remember the last time i had so much fun watching a music video. This band gets it. Fun, creative and crisp. They are all in sync with one another and seem to roll with the minor (and i mean minor) flaws that make live music so special. Wish i could see you guys live up here in Ottawa Canada. Any chance of that?
So much fun and so much talent
Love every song you make...
Love this...just grand talent!!!
