III. Promotion Video ② - Misa




Because this video becomes very famous all over the world, there are many parodies. The famous one in Japan is produced by Gucchi Yuzo, who is a Japanese talent, in the NHK’s educational program “Hatch Potch Station”. In this parody video, he crosses over “Bohemian Rhapsody” with a Japanese children’s song “Dog gy cop and lost kitty”. He not only mimics the way Freddie sings and performs, but also copies high-quality video effects.
I remembered that when I was young, I saw this parody video on TV but hadn’t seen the original music video by Queen. Even so, I enjoyed watching Mr. Gucchi’s performance, but a person who laughed the most was my mother whose generation has many fans of Queen. She happily recorded the program and showed it to my father, and they bursted into laughing together. … Now I understand why they laughed so much at that time. It was so well-made parody video!
