Bohemian Rhapsody Flash-Mob

I really must stop blogging about items I’ve just seen on breakfast TV, but surely this is the coolest, most awesome thing I’ve seen in months. Like most people I suppose, I think Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the greatest songs ever recorded. It was just revealed that it was performed a few days ago by a flash mob in Paris. A group of people got together to perform the piece seemingly on the spot in a Parisian square. Naturally I checked it out on Youtube, and it is absolutely spectacular – I particularly love the drum-kit reveal, although having a kid play the guitar in the place of the great Brian May was a bit lame. Of course it makes me wish I could have been there, but it seems J and I came back from Paris slightly too soon. On the other hand, it makes me wonder what other spontaneous happenings like this are possible: I’ll certainly be keeping an eye out on my trundles around London today.
