Happy HallowQueen!!!! Here's our version of BOOhemian Rhapsody! Yours truly, Lake Street Dive 2015 Lake Street Dive appears courtesy of Nonesuch Records
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
yeah, Bridget clocked it but the rest? you're right about all that crap. wrong song to fuck with, I'm just not the audience for it cuz I love the original
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?
Heard this group for the firs time (I'm embarrass to say) last night on the Charlie Rose talk show and was blown away by It!! I feel I have so much catching up to do, as far as their music...
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. 💎
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
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
"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.
I wasn't convinced this song could work without a piano, but that meowing from Mike Calabrese sure put up an argument.
HAHAHA
I LOVE this band. They always seem to be having fun.
Absolutely lost it at the "mama mia" bit. That's dedication right 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!
I wish I'd had this much fun in the bands I played with !
Rachael as Freddie Mercury was the last thing I was expecting today - stellar everybody !!
Damn, her voice is incredible :O
Oh my god, I'm crying at the meow part ROFL
I think Freddie would be happy with this cover especially the blend of instruments and voices, very unique.
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
Cat meows by Mike automatically make this the best version on the Internet.
One of the ingredients to your band's greatness is how much FUN you have making music. Mamma Mia this is good.
WOW!!!

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 . . .! :)
the cat solo wll never ever be forgotten!
Freddie would love this 👏
best Queen cover, the best Queen presentation and execution... U guys are incredible. Love the arrangement, & Meow solo...
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
Best cover ever - and my grey cat, Goldie, says it really speaks to her.
I love you guys! Amazing!
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.
...Rachael with her voice & that 'mustache' ... Freddie woulda been pleased ...
This the most underplayed version ever! Brilliant!
That bass solo at 4:40! DAMN THAT WAS GREAT
The algorithm showed me this again after 5 years, what an amazing rendition of an amazing song.
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.
That Pasta Cut scene was *GOLD!!!*
This is amazing! Just discovered it! 6 years too late! great art
Eyes open hilarious....eyes closed epic cover! Love these guys and gals
one of my favorite groups has put comedy in a very challenging song and made it work. you blew me away again. BRAVO
I literally just found out about this band and I’m already in love!!!
THIS IS JUST THE BEST

Spoof? Satire? Musical greatness? A whole lot of fun!
hahaha the drummer eating pasta at the "mama mia" part. awesome.
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!!!!
I saw Queen in concert when I was younger, I love them and this song rocks bigtime!!!
That bass player is out of this world and damn that vocalist gives me chills.
Cant believe the chops on this gal. UN BELIEVABLE BRAVO. .
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!
I love Lake Street Dive like a love breathing and I love Queen just the same. This is fucking awesome.
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.
THIS!! THIS!! This is why I love you guys!!
After all this time of being a fan of Lake Street Dive I have just now realized I was in band and am a band geek !..
As a native NorCal dude, I am thrilled that you would honor my home region by filming this there. :D
This group just never fails to amaze me ! Very, very talented and eclectic ! Great cover.
This is awesome. Needs WAY more views (and the laughs to accompany it, too). Great job Lake Street Dive.
That bass solo was the definition of badassery
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!!!!
This is what super talent does for fun. Keep it up !!
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.
How did I forget that the best part of Halloween was your annual video? This was epic!
Thousands of copies, few succeed. This one added something to the original, excellent.
I am truly amazed by how amazing this. I'm almost in tears, which is something that hasn't happened for a long time.
I am without words. Only laughter and excitement of this masterpiece idea!
I love you guys SO much!!!!
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.
EPIC CAT SOLO!! 🐈
Amazing...it gets better every time I watch it!!
Bucking FRILLIANT!!! ♡ ♫ ♪ ♬
I wish I could give a million thumbs up to this. Soo much fun.
Christ, these guys are simply superb - and charming and dear - and very very skilled. Lovem.
Me, 02:37 - "What the meowing f-"
Me, 04:08 - "OK, so you're just gonna goof your way through all the solos."
Bridget, 04:38 - "You were sayin'...?"
yeah, Bridget clocked it but the rest? you're right about all that crap. wrong song to fuck with, I'm just not the audience for it cuz I love the original
This is the best song they've done with harmonies...SO cool...
This is just spectacular...expect nothing less from the best band in the world!
Those vocals though.
+TheKevlar4 Painful to listen to.
rdecredico
They were fantastic.
Sure ... if one likes off-key signing of an already bad pop song.
rdecredico
Oh wow you're so cool.
Perhaps.
My body temp does tend to run below 98.6
Great cover, and so much fun! Also liked the nod to "Wynne"s World", head banging in the Gremlin scene.
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!
A favorite song by a favorite group. Awesome.
This makes me so happy.
this is probably the best thing ever
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.

Best cover of this song
This is absolutely wonderful - sheer perfection! Is there anything these guys can't do?
Excellent....bravo....

Love the cats 🐱🐱🐱🐱. And the fantastic base playing. Kudos!
Amazed from the very first note!
Best cover ever.....Great....
Even Queen never did the operatic part live. Incredible! Great job.
Lake Street Dive covers Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody for Halloween 2015. Perfect.
So Good! Best one yet!
I have to think Freddie would have loved it; hope the rest do. Thanks!
Freddie must be proud. Great voice, nice work. Thank's.
This band knows how to have fun! Beautiful stuff.
Heard this group for the firs time (I'm embarrass to say) last night on the Charlie Rose talk show and was blown away by It!! I feel I have so much catching up to do, as far as their music...
Love every song you make...
This is fantastic.
Love this...just grand talent!!!

This band just keeps getting better. Nice video, particularly the transition from backlit closeup.
