A mind-boggling cover of BoRap

The official music video for William Shatner's cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody". I think my brain just melted...



This interview of Shatner about it is quite nice, though:
If you had asked me a year ago about Freddie Mercury and Queen, I wouldn't be able to tell you. If you had played me 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' I would have told it you that was one of the greatest pieces of music I've ever heard. It's operatic, it's modern and beautifully sung. And then if you would have told me about the history of Freddie Mercury and Queen, I would have gasped because it's so dramatic. But I knew nothing of that until I came to it in this latter day.
