This has been on the web for over six years, but I just now saw it (as a viral video on FaceBook). What a great use of puppetry & rock music to share the Gospel! Thank you "B Rob"!
The song and puppet show were part of First Baptist McKinney (TX) "Deck the Halls" extravaganza today. Added energy to a very high-energy production. Extremely well done. Very memorable.
Such is the widespread recognition this has received, this was played on the overhead at our daughters Christmas Sing-a-long as an 'alternative nativity' in her school. Fantastic and the kids were in raptures. Fantastic idea and big thumbs up from Middleton St George, Darlington, North East :)
Fantastic, I'd like to dedicate this video to our Sister Barbara who brought this to our attention but sadly passed away this Christmas. RIP Sister, always in my thoughts
What a great song. Religious or not, the puppetry and sheer creativity make this a valuable contribution.. Whoever put this together show together has more than a hint of brilliance at work..
We were shown this at our carol concert today and it was brilliant. The kids loved it (as did my husband who is a queen fan). How creative and well done.
That was incredibly clever and enjoyable without being too preachy or overly religious for people who don't like religion. Who ever came up with the idea should be proud of themselves.
fantastic! We are presenting a Christmas pageant and one of the teachers commented that one of the lines in our play "thunder and lightning" very very frightening, reminds her of the Bohemian Rhapsody....and we had the line We are shepherds no one likes us....now we see the connection!!! Hillarious
The combination of this well known music with the nativity story is truly awesome, we saw this for the first time on Saturday at a local church event it was not only entertaining for the children but the adults where captivated also, so much so we had to watch it again, Thank you for sharing
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! This is God given creativity at it's VERY best!! And what a way to share the Gospel and inspire non believers!!! I love you!!! Excellent vocals too~ well trained!!!
Thank you so much! Totally enjoyed it. Just purchased the MP3 and MP4. This is A+mazing! Sharing the RUclips link with as many as I can and spreading the word.
I'd love that! Great idea. I don't speak or read any Spanish but I'm sure the story would make more sense if I read or heard it in a language I don't understand.
Dear Darla, You kindly gave permission for me to download and use Bethlehemian Rhapsody last year for Speedwell Methodist Church in Bristol. I wondered if you would possibly consider giving permission to me to use the same video for use at Frodsham Methodist Church on Sunday 23rd December, and Tarvin Methodist Church on the same date, this year? Many thanks, Den Harding Minister of Frodsham, Oakmere with Ashton, and Tarvin Methodist Churches Chester and Delamere Forest Circuit

The headbanging part is just hilarious
That was one of the puppets my son Nathanael was in control of.
One of the best Christmas carols ever.

The singing is actually really good!

This is very well done and while "updated", retains the integrity of the message and the music as well. I like this a lot.
wow, they did a fantastic job of putting Christian lyrics into this, Glory to God In the highest!
Amazed that this is six years old. Saw it for the first time in Dec 2015.
THANK YOU
So proud of my eldest children Nathanael and Christina (now both at Uni) were two of the puppeteers

Very well done.
One of the best send-ups EVER. Totally wonderful
Brilliant, lyrically and visually. Saw it at our Church coffee shop Christmas service this morning here in the UK. Congrats to all involved!
