They Will Rock You
The Muppets have a proud tradition of taking the hit songs and making them their own: muppet-izing them, shall we say. The Sesame Street gang had a string of successes with “Letter B” (ala the Beatles’s “Let Her Be”), “Born to Add” (ala the Boss’s “Born to Run”) and “U Really Got a Hold On Me” featuring Smokey Robinson and a rather clingy Letter U.
Well, they’re at it again. In honor of the Muppets’ 40th birthday, Disney has released a great video of them covering Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
