Day 42: I'd Still Listen Six Whole Times And I'd Still Listen Six Times More!

[anarchist_nomad]

Guess what day it is today, gentle readers![*]

That's right! As I am sure everyone has marked in their calendars and has long been anticipating.... today is "Bohemian Rhapsody Day"!

Wow! It's hard to believe that a year has elapsed since the last one! Still, tis true! Bohemian Rhapsody Day comes but once a year!

As you may recall from last year, the appropriate way to celebrate this holiday is to listen to the Bohemian Rhapsody twelve times!

Won't you all join me in the remembrance of this joyous occasion? I will award five hundred points to anyone who comments letting me know that you, too, have honoured this most venerable of holidays![**] Additionally, a bonus of one hundred points can be won by anyone who posts about this in their own journal[***], thus spreading awareness of this important occasion!

And -- brand new for 2009 -- there are now more ways than ever to honour Bohemian Rhapsody Day! This year, the Muppets are getting into the act! Getting tired of the same old classic track by the time it comes around for the seventh or eighth time on your MP3 player? Why not liven things up a bit with this muppetational version:

I wish a very happy Bohemian Rhapsody Day to all of my dear friends!

[ETA: One hundred points have, thus far, been awarded to autumnquest, kittybeard, and blaisepascal for helping to spread the BRD love! Join the club!!]

---

[*] And please don't say "Wednesday"!

[**] The honour system is in effect here, people. Don't profane Bohemian Rhapsody Day by lying about this. I know these points are valuable, but still...

[***] Or Facebook, or whatever. The medium is not important! What matters is spreading the joy and love that Bohemian Rhapsody Day brings!

Wow, is it that time of year already? I'm glad I'm out of hospital in time to celebrate. I had to convince the nurses that Bohemian Rhapsody was an important holiday, but they only listened once I started to sing... Strange really, as I'd only sung two bars when the nurses started pushing me out of the ward.

Darn! I was hoping I could be the first person to delight you with Bohemian Muppetry. (Oh, well - at least I gave you the Asylum Street Spankers' version of "Mah-Nah Mah-Nah" just a little while ago. And, yes, the Snouths and Bip Bipadotta are in the Muppet BR.)

Queen FTW! Love love love all the BoRhap stuff that is happening today.
My favourite has always been the Comic Relief skit from the nineties (YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pRKA6lqsfg&feature=PlayList&p=EDABCA7E2C82C562&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=4)). That way I get so many of my favourite pop cultures icons all at once: P.G. Wodehouse, FRy & Laurie, and Queen Queen Queen! Not see that touted this year.

Love the muppets tho, of course.

*hugs*

BWAH-HAH-HAAAH

::wipes eyes::

J and I were *howling* at this. We'd had no idea that it was Bohemian Rhapsody day, but I remember listening to the song on the way to my Aunt's on Thanksgiving many years ago (looks it up, it was 1991) and thinking of Freddy Mercury and being very sad. He'd left us on November 24th. Perhaps the 25th was 'Bohemian Rhapsody Day' then too.

I had no idea that Janice could jam on the guitar like that. ;-D

That was fun, I always love to see Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem Band together again :)
Also, that last thing, with Kermit.... I want to do that now. Next T2K-SK meeting?

I can't remember if you saw this last year, but LEGO Bohemian Rhapsody is so fun!

I especially like the cast credits at the end, with special mention for 'Death's personal assistant'

*many bohemian hugs*

I just posted to my LJ a link to fifteen covers of Bohemian Rhapsody, in honor of BRD!

I'll watch them when I get home.

Sadly, I inexplicably forgot to post in my LJ or FB. However, not only did I celebrate Bohemian Rhapsody Day, but I introduced my big brother to it as well as my 78 year old mom! I don't think mom really got it and my brother thought I was a little weird, but they seemed to thoroughly enjoy the plethora of Bohemian Rhapsody YouTubes I shared with them. I think I shall do this with them every year. Yay for a new family tradition!
