"Mama, just killed a chap"

This is quite possibley one of the coolest vids EVER. It's a bit for Comic Relief in the early 90's, and essentialy some people went around the BBC studios and asked people to sing Queen's "Bohemian Rapsody."



They happen to catch weather reporters, firemen, talk show hosts, newsreaders, hand puppets, the main cast from both Red Dwarf and Jeeves & Wooster, and quite a few shows I have no clue what the hell the shows were.

It means no worries, for the rest of your days

I ushered at the Drummers of Brundi concert at the audiotorium.

I am never, ever, doing such thing again.

The warm-up act - Mombasa Party - was somewhat intresting. Well, it was more miss than hit, as out of the eight song set I only cared for two of the songs. The first one was because one of the preformers played that insutument that is just the little pices of scrap metal that you pluck, and it made soe nice music. The other was the song "Jambo." It had a sum total of six lines of song that was refrained in the entire piece, and since the program helpfully gave the English translation of the song... though really, I could have gussed what they were saying, as the song pretty mch was made up of all the Swahli that I understand (Jambo! Habari gani! M'zuri Sana! Kenya mwakaribishwa! Hakuna matata! - Hello! How are you? I'm fine. You are welcome in Kenya! No worries!) The song is surprisingly catchy, though it made most of the ushers imediately either sing "Hakuna Matata."

Somewhere durring the third rythem, my mind just gae up and wandered off becaue it just seemed so bloody long. So I was debating about some minor detail in a story or homework assignemnt I was startled out of my revire when I realized that the show was over. Apparently, I suck at judging when the rythms changed, as the hugely long third rythem was rythems three though twelve, and thus really was an hour and a half.

So, in the future I know to pass on musical entertainment that centers on purely drums. Or Swahili.
