Watch This: The Muppets' 'Bohemian Rhapsody'
Filed under: Fandom, Trailers and Clips

There are times in this busy world when I forget just how cool The Muppets are. Randomly mention the beastly little guys and gals, and I'll smile politely, vaguely remembering the good old days. Put them in front of me, however, and it's a challenge to not let out a real world, ear-breaking shriek of squee. I don't care how long they've been around -- The Muppets are cool, and they are no cooler than when they're delighting in the epic grandeur of rhapsody ... Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," that is.
We all know the song. It was pretty epic in its own right, and then soared to new levels in Wayne's World, where it grabbed the #2 spot on the Billboard charts almost two decades after its release. Now the MuppetsStudio on YouTube have released the ultra-awesome clip you can see after the jump -- an arseload of Muppets singing the classic Queen song just like the old-school music video. And it's convinced me that Beaker is a lost member of the band.
The bad thing about all of this is that it's making me wish for a whole different sort of Muppet movie. Sure, Jason Segel is planning The Greatest Muppet Movie of All Time, and the project will involve the gang reuniting to save the studio. But considering this video, and the utter awesomeness that is Segel's rock opera in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, couldn't they halt things, change scope, and make this The Greatest Muppet Rock Opera of All Time? The possibilities are wonderfully epic and so utterly perfect. Who's with me?
Hit the jump for the Muppets' performance, plus the original video and that bit from Wayne's World.

If this doesn't make you smile, then I'm pretty certain that you might not have a soul.

Dear Mark Biddiss,
You have been reported to this site and the police.
I find it quite unnerving how you believe a man who hates you from the past is me. I moved on the day I told you to piss off when you were verbally abusive down the phone to me at work. Around Feb 08 I believe.. People send stuff to me that you have written all the time.. You still obsessing over me? It's fucking weird.. If an insane bitter mad alcoholic druggie tramp with a famous father told you he was Jesus.. would you believe that as well?? I didn't..!! Especially the bit about killing women?? You are severely fucked up Mark.. severely..
My son just shook his head when i told him what Liam had written.. we just laughed.. Liam, the man who leaves machetes round people houses.. the man whose whole family cannot live with him.. Liam.. the man who cannot stop e-mailing me.. ?? Just another case of Biddism..
BTW Ben Harper will still not tell me his identity.. I do NOT know why.. but you are barking up the wrong tree with me and making yourself look ridiculous in public as you do it.. The one thing in common all you lot have is Toxins.. you see..
Something I just don't and never have given a fuck about..
This will get added to the crime reference of harassment that you are already charged with.

Mark Biddiss.
Your Ex Girlfriends and ex work colleagues have asked you several times to stop stalking them. Admittedly we have been stupid when replying to your vile attempts to get a rise out of us with your fishing trips and sometimes we have even been amused at your ramblings. You seem fixated with Sally Western and your ex girlfriend for some reason btw do you want to give her that money back you owe her still?
You keep pestering them, Dave and I on the Internet mostly and on facebook making up bogus names like David Dickinson (your latest) and others posting claims you are going to get us for Peter Cook then turning the account off and running off in a cyber way. When we reply to your normal Facebook account you cry foul and play the victim yet again. We are not as stupid as you look mark.
You have been asked to remove posts from various web sites where you have made unhealthy comments towards people and their children.. Stop using facebook and other sites like that dating London site (where you went Gay for a bit) you frequent as some kind of bullying platform were you think you have sole right to abuse people then complain that you are the one being bullied when those people defend theirselves. In other words... Stop being a prat, grow up, get a life and stop sending us posts and emails.
We will not be replying to your rants after this. I will post this on other sites you have posted filth in the past until you get the message, possibly you will get the Internet fame you so much desire
Go away little boy....
