102,974 Singers Perform "Bohemian Rhapsody"



I just learned about Pub Choir from an unrelated video at kottke. Pub Choir is an Australian project led by Astrid Jorgensen where people go and learn to sing popular songs in three-part harmony. They describe it as an "ENTIRELY improvised, comedy music lesson." It's somewhat similar to the Toronto-based Choir! Choir! Choir! You don't have to be a singer to join the fun, and in fact non-singers are encouraged to participate because many voices make it much easier for shy people to belt out a tune.

At every Pub Choir show since 2022, one of the things they did was record all the participants singing at least one line from Queen's operatic anthem "Bohemian Rhapsody" for a project almost three years in the making. Now all those shows have been compiled into one video. The participants totaled more than a hundred thousand singers! See more Pub Choir videos at their site.

Notice the cities are labeled in the top corners. You can detect a very slight difference in accent between the Australia/New Zealand shows and the US shows. But it has no effect on the blending of the song.
