O Beaneian Rhapsody

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (via Frozentoast)

Original lyrics here.

O Beaneian Rhapsody

Is this the real team?

Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a nonslide

No escape from that Jeremy

Open your eyes

Look up to these guys and see

I’m just a poor boy, don’t need free agency

Because I’m easy come, easy go

Bid too high, bid too low

Anyway, the win’s blown; doesn’t really matter to me, to me

Macha, just quilled a man

Put a pen against his head

Squeezed the barrel, now the dread

Macha, budget’s just begun

But now I’ve gone and blown it (Holliday)

Macha, ooo.

Didn't mean to make you cry

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow

Carry on, carry on as if no team really matters

Too late, L. Davis gone

Send shivers down my spine

Chavy’s aching all the time

Good-bye everybody – I’ve got to go

Gotta leave you all Devine and face the truth

Macha – ooo – (anyway the win’s blown)

I don’t want RyRy

I sometimes wish I’d never seen Brown at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man

Scary Lewis, scary Lewis, will you hit the damn fungo?!

Under belts are tightening, very very frightening

Mike Gallego, Mike Gallego

Mike Gallego, Mike Gallego

Mike Gallego, Scutaro!

Magnifico!

But I’m just a poor boy and nobody loves me

He’s just a poor boy from a small market team

Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Crosby come, Crosby go – will you let me go?

Beane’s milieu! No! We will not let you go! Let him go!

Beane’s milieu! We will not let you go! Let him go!

Beane’s milieu! We will not let you go! Let me go!

Will not let you go! Let me go!

Never let me go!  Ooo …

No, no, no, no, no, no, no –

Oh Macha see ya, Macha see ya, (my Casilla) let me go

See, Ellis, bub’s, seen a devil with a side d’livr’y

D’livr’y

Ziggy!

 

So you think Jason Giambi can spit in my eye?

So you think you can love me despite Jermaine Dye?

Oh baby -- can’t do this to me baby

Just gotta get out – Josh gotta get right Outman here

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

No team really matters

Anyone can see

No team really matters – no team really matters to me

Anyway, the win’s blown …

Star-divide

I...well i'll leave out the details

"My group runs some frogloks down the hall to finish them off and POP! RASTER! If there was a way to scream louder than caps in EQ I was doing it. Man I am straight panicking because I know I have NO CHANCE soloing and the party has run off. I'm in my hotel room; it's like 5am, and I am straight hollering, in EQ and in real life. Bottom line is the group comes back, heals me, and kills Raster! WOOT!" -Curt Schilling on his favorite memories in the video game "EverQuest"

Seriously amazing.

People should learn your lyrics and perform this at AN Day VI.

People should elect it president and make pilgrimages to worship it!

Too much?

I would totally sing Freddie's part

Freddie Mercury is my hero.

Not likely I’ll be in Oakland in summer, though.

Probably enough Jack Daniels though.

I totally got coerced into singing a lyrically-modified version of this song in college that then got broadcast in front of 600 people. Just saying.

Why doesn't this surprise me....

at all?

Can you post the broadcast?

Unfortunately,

“bohemian rhapsody” “pam” doesn’t turn up anything useful.

Strangely,

“Rhapsody” and “Pam” turns up a rather interesting selection.

Alright...

I really want to take a shot at recording this, but can’t find a karaoke track without all the backup vocals already on it. Any KJs or studio magicians out there who can help?

Are you still around?

I thought I heard you got arrested for molesting a deparrment store Santa Claus because he said he had a flask of bourbon in his pocket and you wouldn’t give the next kid in line his turn until you found it.

I blame Englishmajor.

Until she found what?
