- Bohemian Golfing Rhapsody.
This video is the culmination of 10 years parody song writing for our annual golf trip to the Murray river courses in Australia.
It all started with a protest song and after that being well received, parody songs became an annual feature of the trip. Eight guys, four days, 54 holes.
After years of raising the standard of song production, one year we decided to produce a six song album dedicated to the legendary Queen, titled "A day on the Greens". The only criticism of the album was its failure to include Bohemian Rhapsody. I took it on as a challenge.
After deconstructing the song into all of its part, I set about playing all of the necessary instrumentation, singing all of the vocals and recording it in its entirety.
The song took me 68 tracks to complete, with 1379 individual sound files. It's fair to say that not all of these sound files made it to the final product; there may have been an extra take or two :)
** Lyrics **
Is this the real life. is this just fantasy
Four days of golfing, an escape from reality
Open your eyes, Look up to 8 guys and see
I'm a poor golfer I need no sympathy
Because I’m
temperamental here I go, little high, little low
Any way the game goes doesn't really mean much to me,
To me.....
Mama, just smacked a ball
Put a ball on top the tee, perfect backswing, now it’s free
Mama, this hole has just begun
and now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama,
Didn't mean to make it slice
I’m going back for more lessons tomorrow
but Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
It's tee off, my time has come
anticipation in my mind because now its golfing time
Hush-Hush everybody, I need to concentrate
Gotta leave you all behind and claim the prize
Mama,
I don’t wanna lose
I sometimes wish I’d never played golf at all
I am a nervous little golfer of a man
Swing your tush, Hear the whoosh, did you see that damn ball go?
Augusta and St Andrews - always gives a fright to me
Balisteros, Balisteros, Balisteros, Balisteros,
Balisteros Travino,
Magnifico!
I'm a novice golfer, no courses loves me
He's a novice golfer, hard working family
Escaping the rat race and monotony
C'est la vie, C'est la vous, will you let me flow?
Kenosis No! We will not let you flow! -- let me flow!!
Kenosis! I’ll give it my best go!! -- let me flow!
Kenosis! We will not let let it flow!! - let me flow!!
Will not let let it flow! let me flow!!
will not let let it flow! Never let me flow!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Bought some gear, had a beer still the fear is still on show
I cannot putt now the jacket's put a curse on me, on me, on me!
So you think I can chip out and make the sand fly
So damn deep in this bunker I only see sky
Woooh baby, can't do this to me baby
I Just gotta chip out , I just gotta hit right outta here
Ooooooooh,
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Golfing really matters
Anyone can see
Golfing really matters
Golfing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows...
Enjoy.
I've done a few videos for our annual golf outing in the Pinehurst, NC area - nothing even slightly comparing to this. But my work does give me a bit of a sense of the amount of work that went into producing this. I've watched this several times over the years and more impressed with each subsequent viewing. Great piece of work Nigel!
Super cool vid, thanks. More.
I honestly think this may be the funniest video I've ever seen about golf. Incredible execution and production values on the video.
Suck it, Golf Boys of the PGA Tour!
Fantastic work Nigel. Looks and sounds awesome. Also a massive congratulations to all the hard work put in by Mark Russell, Brian and Lyn.
Fantastic, that calendar looks like mine. 😂
A: Gotta love Freddy and Queen.
B: Caddy Shack
C: I miss playing golf.
What a great voice Nigel! And I love Lynne's cameo appearance. Brilliant!
This is seriously underappreciated!
Hilarious! Great production guys, very funny including the extras.
omg sooo funny . brilliant Brian..great to see you still rocking..
CLASSIC stuff... wide, wild, and wonderful like the Murray /Murrumbidgee...THANKS, Mr Nigel Tait
This is my favorite thing of all time
Stumbled upon this video.. amazing! I know ill be singing this the next time im playing golf! 😂
Great parody. Well done boys!
Great job!!!
Really wanted to play this at my dads funeral but the Crematorium in Redditch say they can't play it because of copyright . My Dad golfed for 60 years and would have loved it.
So Great !!!
In the unlikely event you're interested in another Bohemian Rhapsody parody, this is from our sailing around the world channel and focuses on how one of our sons lost us the lead in a race across the Pacific Ocean (or part of) ruclips.net/video/LCMsLEQxz58/видео.html
Golf for life
Amazing. Very Epic style.😀⛳️
Fantastic - loved it!

that is so funny, I've never heard a golfing parody be- FORE. get it?
Encore... another ball bites the dust
Absolutely Brilliant!!! Bravo...
Wonderful Love it
well done sirs, well played
Loved the lyrics. Great singing certainly helped make this very enjoyable. This could only be done right by crazy, but talented Aussies or Brits. You guys are in the RUclips Hall of Fame now.
Keith Carey Kind comments :) Much thanks. Glad you enjoyed.
This is great!
Great voices
BRILLIANT! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣awesome ⛳️🏌️♀️
Hoping Brian & Roger got as good a laugh out of this as I did; LMAO
this is beautiful
1:19, duff straight into the trees off the toe. hahaha
Outstanding! Did you get any grief from RUclips about copyright law? I’m currently working on a golf parody song myself. Lots of confusing info out there about parody songs.
No issues at all. Good luck with the parody
Wonderful boys. I'll never look at my golf balls the same way again without Ian blowing a kiss.
fantastic Job!
flea flo fly flum laughed so much i nearly emptied my bum
TMI (Too Much Information)
Hey Nigel, I couldn't find your contact info, but I wanted to know if I can use a part of the audio in a short clip I am making? 3:23 to about 4:23. Thanks! Of course you'll get credit.
Hey there bloke. Email me at pure.fusion@gmail.com.
brilliant.
Great Parody
original though: don't mess up a great song like bohemian rhapsody
after the video: WOW! that was great, nice work (almost enjoyed the song as much as bohemian rhapsody)
and that man knows how to kiss a pair of balls KKKKKKK
Hey there,
Would you be okay if I used a MP4 track of this song for a video on my youtube channel? I made a how to video on lowering your score but this song would be nice in 6 minutes of my video where I am doing a drill.
Please let me know if its okay and if you can send me a MP4 of the music. Will obviously give you credit for it.
Hey there. Sorry bloke, please don't use this on your channel. Thanks.
thanks ... it is really good...how long did it take to make?
It's difficult to estimate because it was done in random chunks of time on weekends and after work but I'd say 3 weeks of tracking and about the same again to mix it down to what you hear. The truth is though, I don't actually know.
any idea where I could get the lyrics other than transcribing them...? soooo funny
Sure. I just updated the description for you.
Cheers!
Hahaha... nice one
