"Bohemian Trumpsody" - Marsh Family adaptation of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen about Donald J. Trump
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 окт 2024
- Well, with the polls so tight a week out, we decided to revisit US Election politics one last time, and ambitiously to have a stab at building a parody around one of the greatest songs ever written, Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” which was the inimitable mock opera lead single from their album “A Night at the Opera” released in 1975. It was a monstrous production, created across eight generations of 24-track tape and with hundreds of overdubs, complex layered harmonies, subsections, innovations. And at its core, the spectacular vocals of Freddie Mercury - one of the finest singers ever, on top form.
It has been parodied so many times already, including an iconic version by the Muppets (which the kids loved and grew up with), and it’s been twisted to fit subjects from the menopause to coronavirus. But our chosen subject is the willingness of so many decent people to hold their nose and - likely - vote for Donald Trump in the forthcoming US Presidential Election. We know we’ve sung about it already twice, and we don’t live or vote in the USA. But the whole world has a stake in this election - and it’s a free world. At least, for now. We chose not to riff off the many daft claims, stories, or issues (the cat ladies and cats and dogs have been cut up plenty), but just to try to cut to the fundamentals, and think about behaviours, facts, values, and history. Some of the footage is from the US Congress hearings.

LYRICS
How is this real life? Wish it was fantasy!
Ought to be landslide, not a race to the final week
Look in his eyes, it’s up to you guys, you see
He’s just a playboy, he feels no empathy
Because he’s kinda dumb, kinda slow
Little lie, shitty joke
Every single swing vote really really matters to liberty
Donald’s a danger, man
Watch him turn the country red
Just an ego off its head
Donald’s no ‘Republican’
You put him on a throne and there he’ll stay
Donald, ooh. Might seem a wacky guy
But how much crap this time you gonna swallow?
You’ve been warned, you’ve been warned, Generals [John] Kelly, [Mark] Milley, [Jim] Mattis
Top-rated veterans
Not considered feeble minds; served the White House for a time
No ties to a party. And yet they wrote:
If you leave Trump unrestrained he’ll cause abuse
Donald, ooh (the race is so close)
Think of Eisenhower
Or Reagan, Bush, you bet they’d be so distraught!
I see a Capitol or Charlottesville again
Grab a noose, grab a noose, it’s a US gestapo
Project 25-ing very very frightening me
(Rule of law-o) Rule of law-o
(Rule of law-o) Rule of law-o
Rule of law - oh feck it’s gone!
MAGA foreclosed
It’s just hyperbole, media’s nasty
They’re just some libtards from a cult family
Spare us your lies about autocracy
Fascism rodeo: will he get the votes? This felon?!
Oh! He still might get the votes
(Get the votes?! This felon?!)
He still might get the votes
(Get the votes?! This felon?!)
He still might get the votes (Get the votes)
Still will claim the vote (Claim the vote)
Will contest the vote! (never, never, never, never…get the vote?!)
No no no no no no no!
Had diarrhoea about Georgia
Ballot fears being stoked!
See Donald Trump isn’t ever gonna set you free, you free, you free!
Do you think Nikki Haley was too sane and dry?
Do you think that Ukrainians might as well die?!
Oh, maybe. Don’t be one of the crazies.
Just gotta break out.
Just get the Third Reich out of here
Ooh, yeah…
This thing really matters.
All the world can see.
Don’t let in the fascists.
Trump’s not fit for presidency
(Trump is such an arsehole!)

How on Earth did you write and sing this so beautifully? What a talented family! Thank you for sharing.
This is simply awesome! You guys did such a good job! Thank you for caring enough about America to do this for us!
You guys are extremely talented. I can’t believe I just found your channel today. I am an American who has voted blue since my first time in 1988. I’m so stressed out and anxious that I cry. Often. I thank you for your work. You’re amazing.
Just a simple thank you. We need all the voices we can get, yours are beautiful.
Yes the whole world is watching. A very stirring rendition so we wish you well and hope the outcome rings true to your song. Thinking of you all from Victoria, Australia.
AMERICA and the world should thank this family for their love of freedom and truth.All the best to this family.
You need to rewatch and listen. This Lies.
Wow! That was superb👏👏👏 brilliant vocals, fantastic lyrics, and with a suitably strong message. To all our US friends across the pond PLEASE VOTE 💙.
It so scary to be living here. I am scared to death if he wins or doesn’t win. Worse for him to win, but Magas seem to be planning on using any number of tricks to void the vote in battleground states where Trump loses. I live in North Carolina where a Republican US representative said that because of Hurricane Helene which devastated western Carolina, the election cannot be fair and the state legislature should decide. The state election board unanimously make changes to open new polling sites, and working to get mail-in ballots to registered voters. 😂
I honestly hope everyone shares this absolutely amazing nailed it, video. Awesome job Marsh Family.
You all just made me do something i rarely do: cry!! But we got this!! 💪
Adore you all! Thank you so much 💓
OMG I wish networks in the US and all over the world would run this brilliant video nonstop.
Maybe it would wake up the 48% or the ignorant half of the American population. Thank you to this beautiful family.💞
Thank you beloved Marsh Family.
From way across the pond...thank you so much. We are on pins and needles over here. It's good to know the world is hoping for the best, and haven't given up on us.
OMG! I live in ass-backward Arkansas. The land of Huckabee Sanders! Thank you Family!!
I'm always in awe of this great family! Another fantastic production, well done!
This family in England knows more about US politics than most of the swing state undecided voters. Like and share this amazing song with everyone. What an outstanding piece of art. Thank you Marsh Family!
Sad but true!! Best regards
Yup!
I think the same could be said for any family in any country. …That isn’t America.
At this point I'm convinced they have a better grasp of our history than half the entire US population.
Sadly, I have noticed through this process, that it seems like a lot of Europeans know more about how our politics work, and can see more clearly than us
Brilliant, Marsh family, thank you!!!!
Thanks for sharing this message in a song. I hope this one goes viral.
Bravo!!!
You guys should be on Kimmel Live!
Pray or send positive thought to the US... we need it... desperately! Not sure how things got to this point but here we are. Great video & song! Thanks!
WOW GUYS!!!! You've outdone yourselves with this one! Absolutely freakin BRILLIANT!! Videography is outstanding and so in sync with the lyrics. Just love your take on things.
Thanks so much for all your hard work.💙💙💙💙💙
Wow. Just fantastic. Another amazingly powerful song. I hope this goes viral. 🇬🇧🇺🇲
Thank you all! ❤ from the Netherlands, your lyrics and voices gave me tears.
I got goosebumps! I cannot express enough thanks to the Marsh Family for their incisive and hilarious songs about the upcoming election. I feel at peace, if it is only fleeting, after watching every one. Such talent!
Concept, production, performance, editing - all absolute genius. But much more, so genuinely moving. It’s rare for parody to produce tears.
Beautiful! Gratitude from a senior citizen in the USA and a big Queen fan.
OMG! How is this NOT viral!!! Such excellent choice in music, lyrics and honoring to those who originated the song. Love what you guys do, thank you so much!
Thank you all, you brilliant family. Seeing people doing all they possible can to preserve this wonderful country is inspiring. We can do this.
🇨🇦 here and I’m also watching with great concern (south of here, not the great VonMarsh family)
YES, SO Lovely and talented...
Marsh Family, thank you! Does literally has me in tears a fear for our country. I'm 63 and this literally the most important presidential election of my life.
I voted the entire ticket BLUE!
I was wondering when you would do a Bohemian Rhapsody parody. As you said in your comment, there have been many good ones on other topics, and it always amazes me how new lyrics can be fitted into such a complex song. Anyway, in this version the relevance, your performances and your production quality are just spot-on. Like you I can't vote in this election (I'm Scottish) but I fervently hope and pray Harris wins - and Trump doesn't get anywhere with the many threats he has made.
*_How do you put more than one LIKE on a video? Because this one needs a THOUSAND!!!_*
Share… share… share😊
I agree.
You’ve raised the standard yet again. Can it be your best yet? You bet it can! Love your work Marshmallows!! Please keep it up. ❤❤
MARSH family. You all sing so beautifully. This is my first time hearing you. Thank you for all your brilliance and talent. What a beautiful family you are!!!!!!!!!!!
Just when I thought I couldn't love you guys more... Thanks from the states.
From Canada, too!
That's exactly what was going through my mind...
Let's hope it helps keep that maniac out of the White House..!!
As an American: Your participation is fully warranted, fully appreciated by those who understand, fully needed, and fully understanding - that the struggle will be long and worldwide - and essential to commit to, as you have all done - thank you
Amazing message and amazing voices. Thank you!💙💙💙
Brilliant! Thank you and Amen! Every decent station should be playing your video 24/7 this week. May God bless your talented family!
Freddy Mercury would be so proud!
That final line. Perfection. This was amazing!
I absolutely love you guys. I walk around singing "Gimme Hope Kamala" all the time because it make me feel better. This one - released on the very day I voted - reminds us all what's at stake. Thank you!!!
Thank you for your fantastic music and spot-on lyrics. Seeing talented people taking the time to comment on important social and political issues here and in the UK really brightens my day, and adds a little fun to what is otherwise a very serious situation. You remind me that there is really a global community of people who envision a better world!!
Thank you =) YOU all have grown so much!!!
this is wonderful, can't tell you all how much i needed to wake up to this, this morning, thank you
vichy france was better
Thank you! (From Pennsylvania)
Thank you from Across the Pond! I am forwarding this to my friends... Say a prayer for us and Harris/Walz as we VOTE this week. I believe GOD is watching and I pray he will protect us. God Bless the USA 💙💙💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏🙏
The best you have ever done. And done with such passion.
Nail hit firmly on the head once again. Incredible that six members of the same family can all sing so wonderfully, individually and together.
Absolutely first class! Well done. And thank you.
Amazing lyrics, you all did a great job on this ❤️ thank you!
Brilliant (. But is anyone listening 🎧? This has me in tears! It's just brilliant !
So glad I followed the advice from a fellow Fetlocker on the Mangy Fetlocks channel. This is, indeed, a gem! I will be checking out the other postings by this talented, caring family. I particularly enjoyed the last line sung by the two lovely daughters. Many thanks to those around the world who are cheering on democracy! There are many educated Americans who deeply appreciate it.
Thanks to our talented family friends from across the pond. Nailed it!
WOW, you guys sound great, this is brilliant, THANK YOU!! Let's all share this to friends and family and remind everyone to VOTE!!!
Thank you so much for using your incredible talent to support and encourage us!
Absolutely bloody perfect! No notes. 👏 👏 👏 🇦🇺
Wow. spot on lyrics. And your voices, just superb, all of you.
Great! Congratulation with a new fantastic performance. Great lyrics and great song! Greetings and love from Norway
Wow! Wonderful lyrics, beautifully executed. Amazing intonation even when singing falsetto. Fantastic editing. Let's hope America hears what you have to say.
An extraordinary performance from you all again! Great production values as well. And you are so right, the outcome from next week could be frightening for us all.
OMG. I have autism and your editing of the clips brought tears to my eyes.
Love ya! All of ya!
I’m an Aussie and we all know he’s dangerous, you guys are just amazingly brilliant and so spot on
🦘🇦🇺💞
Thank you...beautifully sung and very appropriate.
I have been a fan - and subscriber - of the Marsh Family for a while. Their material is really, really good. But this is simply brilliant!
Amazing guys yet another song nailed and given the Marsh family makeover. So successful and thoroughly enjoyed thank you guys.
Thank you so much wonderful, talented Marsh Family. This is brilliant. I am Welsh, living close to Cardiff. This video made me cry in anguish. The lyric absolutely nailed it and reminded us EXACTLY what happened on 6 January 2021. To read the Capital Police's comments as they so courageously fought off Trump's rioters and to see the images of the murderous actions by Trump's crazed cultists was so painful. May Kamala Harris , Tim Walz and the sane and wonderful Americans prevail against the Fascists.
WOW! Excellent timing Marsh family!!!! Brilliant lyrics, beautifully sung. The whole world is watching the US with bated breath! 🙏🗳💙
Aussie here - this brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for this and all decent people of the world are standing with you.
Wow! Brilliant , thank you !
Bravo for another brilliant performance!👍👍We need all the help to get rid of this cancer once and for all! Your support is greatly appreciated! 🌹🌹
Amazing. Wonderfully done! I hope the whole world sees this, your clever song deserves it.. Thank you (from Holland)
Just.... Cant stop loving this great family!!
I am crying tears of joy! To have such a wonderful family do this wonderful parody, especially right now, gives me hope for the world's future! Excellent job! I love you all!

This is easily the BEST political cover song I have ever heard, very impressive, thank you!
Huge Queen fan, never ever liked a cover of this song, until now. WELL DONE!!!!! Thank you.
Wow this song is so well written in the lyrics ring so true. I wish everyone on Earth could hear this message. The Cheeto must be stopped.
Chills and heartache. Shared your link on threads.
Just so perfect as always. The seriousness of the Flump getting in is frightening. Americans, please, protect your country and the world and make sure the orange one disappears for good. He should be in jail not the White House.
💙💙💙 - This needs to go viral now!
So well done!!!
Simply perfect - saying from a Queen fan for decades
