"Bohemian Rhapsody" was written by Freddie Mercury of Queen. Freddie Mercury - Wikipedia (You should click on that link and read some descriptions of his incredible singing voice.) The song comes from Queen's album, "A Night at the Opera", released in 1975. Richard told me in some of our first letters that he was a fan of Queen. He saw them in concert in 1974! When the album came out in 1975, I was amazed. It was unlike anything I had ever heard! Since that time, "Bohemian Rhapsody" has gained more and more fans and this year, it has now become the most streamed song from the 20th century with over 1.6 billion global streams! Years ago, I shared this video of "Bethlehemian Rhapsody", which is the same song with lyrics about the Nativity. I am sharing it again and I am hoping you can see it, this one shows the lyrics. (There are others that out there, but I really like this one, the man singing has a good voice, I think.) The puppets and the lyrics are excellent and of course, we know the music is sublime!
It is a wondrous story, to me.
Merry Christmas to you all. Peace.
Thank you so much. I never knew of this version of the Nativity. Excellent singing and animation of the reality of Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Blessed Christmas. God bless you and your family.
Happy you like it too. Merry Christmas!
DeleteDear Kay, thank you so much for sharing this, I really appreciate it! Merry Christmas to you. I wish you good health, peace and joy now and always.
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank you for your visits and kind comments on my blog posts. It really means so much to me.
Merry Christmas, dear Linda. You are such a giver of joy! Merry Christmas!
DeleteWhen my sister and I were about 12/13 years old, we were Queen fans, too, but of course there was no way we would ever see them in concert - we simply played their albums (mainly Night at the Opera and Day at the Races) up and down at as high a volume as we dared.
ReplyDeleteFreddie was one of the most gifted singers ever walk the Earth, I think. His voice remains unique and his range almost unreached.
You know I agree about Freddie Mercury's voice! Love the thought of you and your sister rocking away to Queen. Merry Christmas!
DeleteMade me smile, thanks! :) Merry Christmas to you!
ReplyDeleteOh, the very same to you, my friend. God bless.
DeleteThis is my favorite "different" version of the song.
ReplyDeleteI pray you have a blessed and beautiful Merry Christmas!
Glad you like it too! Merry Christmas! 🎄
DeleteMerry Christmas, Kay and may your holidays and 2026 be filled with music!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you, Ed! And you know that is the perfect wish for me! Thank you, sincerely.
DeleteKay, wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and also a great New Year! Love the things you share with us and looking forward to more in 2026. Take care, friend!
ReplyDeleteKay in Texas! So lovely to see your comment today! Merry Christmas to you, sweet lady and all the best in 2026. xx
DeleteI love music of all kinds and listen to it a lot this time of year. Merry Christmas and enjoy your music !
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, MA! Music is a gift from God and I am thankful for it. xx
DeleteI bought Queen's very first album as the band came out a couple of years after 1970/ 1972s glam rock period, Bolan, Bowie, Sweet, Roxy etc but that was the only one I bought. Still got it on vinyl. Like the Nativity. Simple and plain like it should be. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you, Bob and Alex, my Blue Sky Scotland friends! Ah, plain and simple, even the words bring a sense of peace, doesn't it? Ah, vinyl albums, those were the days!

ReplyDeleteLovely thought. Thank you. Merry Christmas!
DeleteHopefully your Xmas Day was a good one. All the best to you.
ReplyDeleteAll of my Christmas days have been good! It was a warm one, we walked after lunch and I wished I had worn short sleeves, it was close to 80!

DeleteI love The Bethlehemian Rhapsody. I also loved Freddy Mercury. He was amazing. Hope you had a great Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Thank you very much, Janie! I am so glad you like this song too! I sincerely hope you had a lovely Christmas and will have a happy new year. All the best to you. x
DeleteOh, this is indeed wondrous Kay. I have never heard of the Bethlehemian Rhapsody, and it is lovely. The puppets are adorable, and in a genuine way. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI love that you like this too! When I have told people about this before, they don't really pay it attention, because of the puppets, they think it is meant to be funny or perhaps, a bit disrespectful. As you point out, they are most genuine! They follow the Bibical story in a very sincere way. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, my Red Cardinal friend! x
DeleteHi, Kay. Beautiful song. Merry Christmas and God bless.
ReplyDeleteAloha to you Gigi and David! God bless you and all the family. x
