The best police car video ever?, Man sings ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ in
police car after being arrested for public intoxication, A Canadian man
denies being drunk, then sings all of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." In
this hilarious video, a Canadian man arrested for being drunk in public
is seen arguing (gently) in front of a squad car police camera.
Bohemian Rhapsody: The Best Version Yet, From the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police.
Near the end of the video, a
police office asks him to "calm down," to which the man responds, "I
can't," before finishing the song up with a pun on the initials for
Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
He then returns to a seeming
state of calm, putting on his glasses and asking the officer, "Do you
have to cuff me? Physical violence is the least of my priorities."
As one astute commenter noted,
he may have been suffering from Mercury poisoning. If all else fails,
this guy would make an excellent addition to the cast of Trailer Park
Boys.
One bit of music trivia,
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is the only song to ever twice reach No. 1 on the
U.K. charts, first in 1975, then again in 1992, when it appeared in the
film "Wayne's World." Elton's John's "Candle in the Wind" technically
achieved the same feat, but the latter rendition was an altered version
marking the death of Princess Diana.
