Video: The greatest rock cover evah?
posted at 7:53 pm on November 24, 2009 by Allahpundit
For your enjoyment as we transition to a holiday state o’ mind, a palate cleanser that’s destined to go mega-viral. Three possible explanations: (1) there’s some heavy drug use going on these days at the Muppets Studio; (2) this is actually a clip of Queen’s video and I’m seeing it as Muppets because my takeout order tonight was laced with something; (3) I can’t think of a third. Bottom line, someone’s tripping balls here. I hope it’s not me!
As always, Animal is the star of the show. Just wait for it.

TC@LeatherPenguin on November 24, 2009 at 7:56 PM
I think that’s John Bonham at drums, not animal..
saus on November 24, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Best Queen cover evah!
Rightwingguy on November 24, 2009 at 7:59 PM
Awesome.
JCred on November 24, 2009 at 8:01 PM
That. Was. AWESOME!
If I were ‘shroomin, I’d have had a religious experience!
JetBoy on November 24, 2009 at 8:01 PM
I must have purchased some bad sh!t cause I’m not having an experience!
blatantblue on November 24, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Good call, AP.
pugwriter on November 24, 2009 at 8:02 PM
HA! Thanks, AP. Needed that.
Weight of Glory on November 24, 2009 at 8:03 PM
Nah. Keith Moon.
pugwriter on November 24, 2009 at 8:04 PM
How does this help Palin’s kids?
This is some commie plot to destroy the minds of impressionable young bloggers.
faraway on November 24, 2009 at 8:05 PM
I was wondering where Kermit was….
Glad the ending took care of that.
Hawkins1701 on November 24, 2009 at 8:05 PM
that was awesome
jhffmn on November 24, 2009 at 8:06 PM
excellent!
homesickamerican on November 24, 2009 at 8:07 PM
Dang. Happy Thanksgiving, y’all.
Bleeds Blue on November 24, 2009 at 8:08 PM
Yes.
Queen cover? Not so much.
davidk on November 24, 2009 at 8:08 PM
Negatory to both. Carl Palmer.
Patrick S on November 24, 2009 at 8:09 PM
That was a great cover of Bohemian Rhapsody!
Bob's Kid on November 24, 2009 at 8:12 PM
Awesome!
cubachi on November 24, 2009 at 8:13 PM
Awesome.
flipflop on November 24, 2009 at 8:14 PM
Reminds me of Brohemian Rhapsody
sluhser589 on November 24, 2009 at 8:14 PM
Bill Schneider appears at 2:10 in the vid
jgapinoy on November 24, 2009 at 8:15 PM
Abso-freakin-lutely awesome. Big steaming piles of odoriferous awesomeness.
When the Muppets are good, they’re very, very good. But since Jim Henson died, most of what they’ve done has been either lame or awful.
Splashman on November 24, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Buddy Rich vs. Animal…now THAT was classic!
JetBoy on November 24, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Completely O/T but worthy of a listen, another ‘rocking’ good song!!

RoxanneH on November 24, 2009 at 8:19 PM
That was AWESOME!!! Thanks!!!
Major Nuisance on November 24, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Consider palate thoroughly cleansed…
Thanks, AP!
Seven Percent Solution on November 24, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Uh oh a problem with my link :-(
RoxanneH on November 24, 2009 at 8:20 PM
Love it!
GinaE on November 24, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Finally, I get one of thos “flashback” trips they warned about in school.
thomasaur on November 24, 2009 at 8:25 PM
thos s/b those
thomasaur on November 24, 2009 at 8:26 PM
Muppet Guitar Hero.
Beyond awesome. Thank you, Allahpundit.
Terrie on November 24, 2009 at 8:27 PM
Only 340 views?
Bob's Kid on November 24, 2009 at 8:29 PM
I actually found Miss Piggy somewhat endearing at the end; I got some kind of nostalgic pang. Which is likely definitive proof that I’m “not right.”
BCrago66 on November 24, 2009 at 8:32 PM
NO!
This….
TC@LeatherPenguin on November 24, 2009 at 7:56 PM
Thanks for that. Hot Air should get behind that one.

Jerricho68 on November 24, 2009 at 8:36 PM
Not only that, but the video has over 5,000 ratings.
WTF
rslancer14 on November 24, 2009 at 8:39 PM
Miss Piggy reminded me of the Connie Chung classic (from the Vblog days)….
dtestard on November 24, 2009 at 8:40 PM
That’s not even the best Bohemian Rhapsody cover.

Chickyraptor on November 24, 2009 at 8:46 PM
Beaker will always be my favorite. Memememe.
Yossarian on November 24, 2009 at 8:48 PM
This was fun-NAY!
But how did they get Obama and all the Czars together at the same time?
TXUS on November 24, 2009 at 8:48 PM
Was that Beaker? Someone call Hewitt…
2ipa on November 24, 2009 at 8:49 PM
Nice to see Mahna Mahna made an appearance.
Doughboy on November 24, 2009 at 8:52 PM
epic
ginaswo on November 24, 2009 at 8:54 PM
I love America!
JetBoy on November 24, 2009 at 8:55 PM
I feel my palate cleansed fer shuuuure…
Rock on!!
tickleddragon on November 24, 2009 at 9:00 PM
It was more of an Obama impersonation…..”Nothing really matters….but Moi!”
Fighton03 on November 24, 2009 at 9:01 PM
Animal forever! He steals the show every time.
Ms Piggy, shut up and get on my plate already. Always my least favorite Muppet but otherwise… AWESOMELY AWESOME!!!!
Yakko77 on November 24, 2009 at 9:05 PM
Hawaiian ukulele madman Jake Shimabukuro has been doing the same song recently as part of his setlist. Introduced it last month.
Del Dolemonte on November 24, 2009 at 9:05 PM
How could you tell? Did he take his shirt off?
Mallard T. Drake on November 24, 2009 at 9:09 PM
That was great. Jim Henson was friggin mad genius!
Ozprey on November 24, 2009 at 9:11 PM
…and thx. After trying to digest the days news last hour, I needed that.
Ozprey on November 24, 2009 at 9:12 PM
I’m fairly sure Freddie would have loved this – it’s quite funny : )
Sheerq on November 24, 2009 at 9:13 PM
The Muppets rule. I don’t have a problem admitting that. Thanks for posting it!
CarolinaGirl6 on November 24, 2009 at 9:18 PM
Man!! That put a smile on my face and lightened up my heart!! A real palate pleaser especially after dealing with obamanation all week.
docdave on November 24, 2009 at 9:19 PM
That was just what I needed to break up homework. Thank U ALlah
Gracelynn on November 24, 2009 at 9:20 PM

Nice!
LSUMama on November 24, 2009 at 9:43 PM
This made my day. Month! YEAR!!!
pookysgirl on November 24, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Separated at birth: the female muppet guitar player and Tom Petty
Alfresco on November 24, 2009 at 9:52 PM
*sighs* That was great! I <3 Queen, and also the Muppets. Together even better!
JeepGirl on November 24, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Is this a subtle ad for Microsoft? Look at the computer at the end.
Sydney Carton on November 24, 2009 at 9:56 PM
As a Muppet Show viewer from WAy back, this was brilliant. They even had the Mannah Mannah’s.
Awesome Allah.
portlandon on November 24, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Too late.
ScoopPC11 on November 24, 2009 at 10:04 PM
THE BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!!!!!
The Dead Terrorist on November 24, 2009 at 10:07 PM
I agree 100000000000%
Queen is TEH Gehy
BuckNutty on November 24, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Allah, on the off chance your take out guy doesn’t work in a French Connection kinda side business, – Have you changed your cat litter recently?
Make sure the Kitty’s get their “Cut” of the Thanksgiving goodies or you WILL PAY!
FloridaBill on November 24, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Great — they were all there. And if there was ever a video ripe for parody, it’s that one.
Mr. D on November 24, 2009 at 10:28 PM
I very much want overnite delivery on whatever drugs that envisioned that video. Now. Before Thanksgiving and seeing family. It could be all the difference in the world. I might even enjoy it.;-)
di butler on November 24, 2009 at 10:35 PM
The Muppets have sucked for a long time now.
Queen has been great for a long time now.
Ain’t watching it.
HAnthonyWayne on November 24, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Allah,
I don’t care what Kermit says about you, you’re all right by me;)
Laura in Maryland on November 24, 2009 at 10:44 PM
Btw, today happens to be Freddie Mercury’s 18th death anniversary – was this just a mere coincidence, AP ?
RIP Freddie – you will always be missed.
nagee76 on November 24, 2009 at 10:45 PM
What did you get? :-) I hear you can get anything delivered to your door in NYC.
SouthernGent on November 24, 2009 at 10:47 PM
That was the best youtube video I’ve seen since Drinking out of Cups.
russcote on November 24, 2009 at 10:49 PM
Thanks so much for that!! When my brother and I were young, we had only CBS, PBS, ABC, and if the wind was blowing correctly, NBC. The Muppet Show was on Wednesday nights at 7, but choir practice at our country church 6 miles away was at 7:30.. we would have our suppers eaten and be dressed to go before Muppets came on, then sit in rapt attention. My mom would go out and get the car at 7:20, and sit honking the horn while we watched every last minute of the show we could. We were always 5 or 6 minutes late, but so were a bunch of the other kids, for the same reason. It aggravated our choir instructor so much, she switched practice to 8 instead. Simpler times!!! Thanks again!
Cornhusker on November 24, 2009 at 10:57 PM
AMAZING!!! It was so nice to see all of those familiar faces!
Ingenue on November 24, 2009 at 11:55 PM
I still think this one’s better.
Shy Guy on November 25, 2009 at 12:23 AM
me me me me
LOVE it
jjjen on November 25, 2009 at 12:34 AM
That was ROFL GOOD!!
sarahpalinfan99 on November 25, 2009 at 12:38 AM
Miss Piggy reminds me of Joy Behar.
Sapwolf on November 25, 2009 at 12:44 AM
Reminds me of the good old days when we’d watch “Fraggle Rock”–stoned…Thanks for the flashback…It was especially good after 3 eggnogs/w whiskey…
lovingmyUSA on November 25, 2009 at 12:56 AM
Palin/Animal 2012
Kick a$$
DDT on November 25, 2009 at 4:25 AM
OK – I LOL’d at the Miss Piggy line.
Funny vid – Bravo!
inviolet on November 25, 2009 at 6:42 AM
Janice plays a mean guitar. Still my favorite. A little Dr. Hook is good for the soul.
elclynn on November 25, 2009 at 7:50 AM
Sh*t, back to therapy for me…
karl9000 on November 25, 2009 at 8:08 AM
That was Palin in the Whitehouse, Ronald Reagan coming back to life, them having a kid who grows up and marries Ann Coulter’s and Rush Limbaugh’s kid, and that kid getting hit by cosmic rays and becoming a superhero good.

MirCat on November 25, 2009 at 8:38 AM
That made my year! Bloody Frickin AWESOME!
jdsmith0021 on November 25, 2009 at 9:10 AM
personally, animal reminds me more of Frank Beard from that little ol band from Tejas!
jdsmith0021 on November 25, 2009 at 9:11 AM
Maybe I wasn’t a big enough fan of the Muppets, but this didn’t do anything for me.
I’m more partial to this cover.
ynot4tony2 on November 25, 2009 at 9:37 AM
lulz
Rick Astley looks like Beaker.
spmat on November 25, 2009 at 9:41 AM
Well, they had to find some way of making “Momma, just killed a man. Put a gun up to his head; pulled my trigger now he’s dead” family friendly.
