Remix Culture - The Muppets sing Bohemian Rhapsody

After discussing and learning a bit about remix culture over the last couple of weeks, and thinking that a lot of the stuff that has been made is, quite frankly genius, I then discovered this amazing video about ten minutes ago.

While it's not as much a part of remix culture as things like the Hitler Downfall videos, it shows how even the world's biggest and most loved production companies can take part and make something their own. Just thought I'd share it as a good example...

Here are The Muppets, doing Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody in a very special way:



(Oh, and just as a side note, at the time of writing, "Bohemian Rhapsody" was the 4th largest trending topic on Twitter because of this - just shows how quickly things can go viral!)

UPDATE (25/11 @ 3pm) - When I embedded the video on here, it had about 500 views on YouTube. In under 24 hours it has now broken the 1million views mark. This really shows how quickly videos can go viral!
