Thanks for all the comments, everyone. I'm trying to keep up! If you are into cats, check out this little playlist I've made of my other few cat parody songs I've done - ru-vid.com/group/PLcpGhWQ2tkoMm0cKaOJHjP1C2S91KtwBV. And if Bohemian Rhapsody does it for you, have you seen my other take on it yet - Menopause Rhapsody? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AcVFtu-ZmmM.html If things like this are your cup of tea, I invite you to subscribe to my channel and get notifications, because more songs are always brewing... 😸
Thanks, you made my day with this !!! [by the way, usually, the head is the part they eat first, particularly the heads from birds, as brains are a cat delicacy...]
Hey Shirley, gratz on going viral! What a surprise it was to see a story about this vid on my Google homepage this morning. So how does it feel to hit the "big time"? 🤣😎

Funny - I've trodden on my share of mouse heads, so either their brains don't taste as good, or I've had weird cats! 😸

@@MAGA_Patriot2024 was it? That's pretty cool. This isn't one of my most viewed videos, but it's nice that people are enjoying it! 😸
Freddie Mercury once stated: "I don't care what you do with my music after I'm gone, just don't make it boring." And by good golly, this is anything but boring. I can see Freddie in Heaven rolling with laughter.
Laughing, in tears🤣 This is a "Cat Anthem" ! DR. Demento would have L♡VED this! A Meowsterpiece! I'm feline much better meow! A purrfect way to wrap up my day! Thank mew!😻
@@JohnRandomness105 It’s “Kicking your can all over the place” in We Will Rock You. Freddie wrote the song Delilah about one of his cats, it’s on the Innuendo album. Not the best Queen song, but it shows his affection for Delilah
There is some truth in all humor and this is ALL truth. I once say the difference between dogs and cats described like this: A dog thinks, "This person feeds me, plays with me, and gives me a warm place to sleep. This person must be a god." A cat thinks, "This person feeds me, plays with me, and gives me a warm place to sleep. I must be a god."
My cat died out of nowhere today. This video helped make me feel a little better. The song embodies my chunky little Molly. She was truly one of a kind. I’m not really sure if I was taking care of her these past 15 years, or if she was taking care of and fixing me. She was never a pet, she was always a full member of the family. Animals show you their love without having to ever use words, which is why I think it hurts more when they are gone from this world.

I'm so sorry, Shawn. Losing a loved pet is just horrible. I really am sorry that Molly's now gone.
I know what you mean and how hard it is after losing a loved pet. I have had many cats and other animals, all unique in their own ways. Throughout my life, All my kitties were there for me. They became family members. It doesn’t matter how old they get, the important thing is that love is there for everyone…it is the main reason and the force which holds us all together, no matter if animal nor human, no one or anything can live without it. It is eternal. 👍❤️🇺🇸🙏🏼
God bless you Freddie your music and legacy will keep on rocking. I can't believe it is almost 30 years since his death and he was every fans hero. Rest in peace mate and i shall keep on loving your music. ( 1946 - 1991 )
Queen is before my time,I was a child then. But respect their legacy and really like their songs. I did not know Freddie loved cats. Did you see his biopic Bohemian Rhapsody? I think his mom is still living, or maybe she has passed.away.
Freddie Mercury loved cats, so what a good tribute to him. He was a legend. So is your Bohemian Catsody. It is also a long song version, just like the other Bohemian rock classic. Brilliant.
@@queenofhearts649 No kidding. I actually think he would have loved and appreciated it, even if he wasn't "impressed". He was such a cat lover and he appreciated creativity.
I love cats. But this was dumb. These kinds of Cgi effects to make a cat head talk is so overdone. It was breifly funny in the early 90s. but now it is pathetically archaic. This is the worst satire of a wonderful song.
Nah, Dogs have masters, cats have well trained slaves. There is no expectation of pay, heck we don't even expect a pat and when we get one we are the grateful ones.
This is hysterical. I love it! Being a cat person myself, I can confirm that the lyrics are on point indeed. Also, the animations of your cats was pretty clever. Nicely done.
@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 For the most part you are correct, yes. But I remember reading of one custom (cannot find now) that involved the ritual mass killing of cats, believe it involved those who raised and sold them so that business would continue...
Dislikes are from mice, birds, and dogs. This is sheer genius. And I rarely use that term. I truly enjoyed this, and my heart needed it. Many thanks, Shirley. 💛
My life wouldn't be the same without my little buddies! As a fan of cats, Queen, and music in general, this totally made my day. 👍😁 It was both clever, and well executed. Bravo 👏
So appropriate for Freddy Mercury. I've seen his photos holding and loving his cat. This was very well done. I love watching the kitties mouths and the lyrics are hilarious. Top notch entertainment, esp. for a cat lover like myself! More...more...more please!
As someone who shares an apartment with two cats (they graciously allow me to pay the rent and feed them while destroying my furniture) I LOVED this song because every word is true!
I have one cat and she will not help me around the house at all when I asked her to. But she sneaks out at night in my car and buys catnip and hangs around the other tomcats. She's a bad influence. 🤣
@@indigowolf556 Somehow my cat opened my email up and despite removal from my office, kept going back in and printing out Domino's pizza coupons. I've also caught him rummaging thru my purse (🤔... Coupon + Monies = Anchovy pizza🤮?). In Japan, cats refer to us as their butler.
@@DarkandStormyNight01butler!? ….Sounds right… Get a cat someone said.. much less trouble than dogs…this person has disappeared and left no forwarding address….
As a crazy cat lady…this song exemplifies the almost hive consciousness of similar behaviors all cats seem to possess-while still each one is an individual soul-they all carry that distinct catness-like a perfect poem- love this 💗💕
In total agreement with those who said Freddie Mercury would really appreciate this! He even wrote a song for his beloved Delilah!!! Excellent creativity on your part & thank you for the wholesome laugh which was really needed! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Also a lifelong Queen👑 fan, as well as a crazy cat 🐈😸lady, and one who has seen almost every parody made of this song, including Adam Lambert's attempt to equal Freddy's greatness, as well as the many renditions Queen themselves made of this brilliant song, I have to agree with you and vote this one as one of the top #10, maybe #5, covers/parodies I have ever heard 🎼🎹👂or seen 👀💿📽, bar none. I think Freddy would have loved 💝💞💟🐾💗💖💓this rendition. You are deeply missed Freddy. 😭.
I have a postcard: One half shows a dog thinking: "they feed me, they care for me, they play with me - they must be a god!" The other half shows a cat thinking: "they feed me, they care for me, they play with me - I must be a god!" Thank you very much for another masterpiece!🤗

Yes, I’m very familiar with that saying. And agree with it entirely!! 😆😆
My cat went crazy hearing all this meowing!! Great lyrics, did you write it? Were you the.lead singer? A cappella was really good. I wondered how the backing vocalist cats would sing the different choruses and lyrical motifs of this classical rock song. But they changed to each contrasting part flawlessly.. BRAVO!! BRAVO!!
I needed this. I’m sick of the politicians and government monopolizing with their selfishness and nonsense . This video is exactly a description of my cat. I can’t imagine my Life without children, grandchildren and pets.
I was thinking the same thing! Freddie Mercury loved cats too. I know he would ADORE this! Also, I just want to point out that I was watching this while lying in bed and one of my cats attacked my foot under the covers! OUCH 😬
OMG! As a school music teacher with two cat quartets (yep, 8 of 'em) I couldn't have found something more purrfect after having a totally crappy day! Thank you!
3 года назад
Thanks, Tom. I'm a school principal but also teach music. I used to have 9 cats, but now just one, so I feel ya!
@@honestmom1958 After teaching day in day out 7th & 8th grade general music ... my monthly psychotherapy would cost more than my paycheck. But my 8 kitties do that and more for free (with a little help from Grey Goose)!
In my hands I hold a device, which fits in my pocket. With this device I can look up practically all knowledge known to mankind. And I use it to watch cats singing. No wonder the Egyptians worshipped them lol. We still do today!
The lyrics are on point. Also, I didn't expect the creator of this to commit to the full length of the song. That is very consequent. I love this. Thanks for the laugh anyways! It's ingenious!
Incredible!! Shirley...you have honored Freddie by having cats sing the hit (undoubtedly biggest hit) that almost wasn't! He's having a good giggle watching this from wherever his beautiful spirit wanders!
When I found out Freddie Mercury was a big cat lover, it only made me love him (& miss him) more. Only true cat lovers can relate to this song. Thank you so much for posting. I love it ❤️🐾
My cat doesn’t leave me a scrap of mouse as a present, she crunches her way through everything. However she was kind enough to barf up the remains of a bird on my duvet at 4am the other morning. As I cleaned up she looked at me with such disdain as if to say ‘hurry up and let me out, I’m not sleeping near that!’
3 года назад
Delightful! She was wondering why you were leaving her for so long in such unacceptable conditions. Good thing you weren’t fired!!
A lovely 'gift' for you at such an unearthly hour...not! We had a cat who brought a little frog into the kitchen and promptly took a ring side seat as she watched with excitement me leaping and bounding around the place trying to catch the thing to release it outside! Once caught and released, the cat took one look of distain at me as if to say, 'well you took your time, such an amateur' before a flick of her tail and off into the lounge to ensconce herself on her little bed 'exhausted'
@@nene3857 Where do you live that mice never get inside the house? First time a mouse got in my house it was when my husband and I were bringing in a lot of groceries. Next time we got mice in the house was due to an attached garage. Also, my cat managed to get outside in the spring. First thing he did was find a nestling on the ground. Second thing he did was attempt to bring it home to me but some kids gave chase and trapped both of them underneath our barbecue. Third, a lot of times when a cat gets a bird it's due to the bird being sick or weak. I've seen cats attempt to catch healthy birds. Emphasis on the "attempt".
Many many years and many many apartments ago I had a cat that honed her hunting skills on the cockroaches in the building. One morning she hopped up onto the bed -- I was still IN bed -- and proudly deposited her latest catch on the bedcovers. It wasn't quite dead. I have never gone from horizontal to vertical that fast before or since.
The cat in the left handed corner is my cat Sweetie ❤️This song could have only been written by somebody who has had the privilege to serve a cat. ❤️Thank you Shirley for this honor 💯✨✨❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sweetie was a star in this - thank you for submitting her photo!
OMG I have been on the staff of three cats for several years and I can say this is "purrfect". My big neutered male watched it with me and looked exactly like he was nodding in agreement. WTG Shirley. you make my day.

Thank you, William! Give your big kitty a stroke from me - if he allows you to
Yes, this is exactly what any competent cat who trusts you will tell you. Such work could only be done by a true cat expert, medium, musician and artist - honest and exact. Happy New Year! Kharkov, Ukraine
This is hilariously epic! I'm a cat lover and I believe you guys should get a reward for the funniest cat and rock & roll mix! Lyrics make me laugh my socks off as well! Great ! Thanks for making my day!
As a certified cat maniac, I can say with confidence that this is purrfect! I have been working on my own parody of Bohemian Rhapsody for months and just can't get it right. Doing justice to Freddie is not something to take lightly. And here you have done TWO stellar versions while I am still trying to muster the gumption to finish ONE. Four paws up! You are the champion!
Dear Allan, don’t give up, keep going, you’ll get there 👍🏻, Sherley is amazing, also a champion in encouraging & inspiring. Don’t compare but make the best parody you can make. I’m sure it will be amazing. Just have loads of fun getting yours done.
3 года назад
You’re very kind, Allan. What are your lyrics about? Have fun with the process!!
Shirley, I am calling my parody Balmoral Interregnum and the idea is to have Prince Charles sing about how long he has to wait to become king. I have had the lyrics written for quite a while, its the actual production that has been hanging fire for so long. But I will eventually get there. Thanks for the pep talk.

@@AllanHerrod Fun! I immediately thought of the Lion King song - I Just Can't Wait to be King.
OMG, pure genius!! I can't even begin to think how much work has gone into this gem!! And yes, I"m sure as well that Freddie would have loved it! Someone needs to send it to Brian, Roger & John though!
Brilliant cover! Finding four cats that are such great singers is a real coup for you, and who all speak English! I can’t understand why they aren’t immeasurably famous. Did they pick a bad name that is holding them back? If Ed Sullivan were still alive, he’d have them on his show and they’d be mobbed leaving his studio.
@@ronnymatthews4133 Purrfect. (The Fab Fur) =^___^= They could also divide into two duos and sing "We Are Siamese If You Please" (Disney) (Lady and the Tramp). Except that they're not Siamese.
Oh my goodness…this is so funny! I literally laughed out loud. 😅 it’s so clever the way you put the perfect expressions on the cats faces…so impressive. Freddie would be proud. 😁🙌😎
LOL…. Cat people can really relate with other cat people, because they sincerely pretty much do the same things, I like if I’m coming home from somewhere and you see somebody’s mini blinds messed up , well they have a cat 🐈 a 🐈⬛ how do you know that I said the mini blinds give it away
This is a genius adaptation of this classic! I needed to belly laugh yesterday when I first watched this, shared it with my family, and it is so true! We have two cats, and you managed to get both of their personalities in this take on this unforgettable song. Amazing! Bravo! You gained a new subscriber. So glad the algorithm led me to discovering you. ❤
"painfully accurate" is an understatement. You hit the nail on the head. My cat actually brought me a mouse head once and made me scream. I've seen this a few times and it makes me laugh harder and harder every time. 🐱🐱🐱🐱❤️🐱🐱🐱
@@rebecca8525Wayne’s World wasn’t a parody. They were lip syncing and that was okay. I don’t care for the Muppets parody. And I do like the Muppets. I grew up on them. I wasn’t a fan of Weird Al’s polka version either and I love Weird Al.
That was my first thought. In his last recording session he wore a cat vest and he always wanted to talk on the phone to his babies who were back at home when he was on tour. He was a true cat lover.
My morning BLUES completely evaporated when I heard this. Just a brilliant rendition of the song that should bring tears, but here it is, TEARS OF JOY. The composer and singers (AI??) deserve a NATIONAL MEDEAL of HONOR
