A hilarious parody of Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ featuring cats singing about their feline lives has taken the internet by storm.
Shirley Serban created this video titled ‘Bohemian Catsody’ that features four cats appearing to sing about their daily lives. The lyrics describe typical cat behaviors that many pet owners will recognize. For example, the song starts with: “Staying up all night, race ’round the house at 3, show you my backside After nudging you to pet me, obsessed with flies, a box half my size fits me.” These words paint a clear picture of how cats often act.
The song goes on to talk about how cats demand attention: “I choose to employ you, now attend to me, open the door, I’ll come, then I’ll go Feed me now, don’t be slow, stalk you in the bathroom, privacy don’t matter to me, to me.” Any cat owner will likely nod along to these lines, remembering times when their cat followed them everywhere or meowed for food.
One of the funniest parts of the song talks about how cats bring “gifts” to their owners: “Mama, just killed a mouse, ate it all except the head, that’s your present on your bed Mama, a sign of my love. Why did you scream and throw it all away?” This part shows how cats think they’re being loving, even when their owners might not appreciate the gesture.
The parody continues with more cat-like behavior: “Mama, ooh, didn’t mean to make you cry, I’ll try to find a bird for you tomorrow So sit down, I’ll sit on you, knead your legs to tatters.” These lines humorously describe how cats show affection, even when it might hurt a bit.
What makes this video extra funny is seeing the cats appear to mouth the words. Their expressions and movements match the lyrics perfectly, adding another layer of humor to the already amusing song.
Many people have praised Shirley Serban for making this video. Comments on her YouTube page show how much joy and laughter it has brought to viewers. One person wrote, “If Freddie was alive, he would’ve loved this because he was a huge cat lover!” Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, really did love cats.
Another viewer said, “The cats singing Bohemian Rhapsody has made my whole week. LOVE. Thank you for uplifting and giving laughter and heart to all.”
The popularity of ‘Bohemian Catsody’ shows that many people love both cats and Queen’s music. ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, which came out in 1975, is still one of the most popular rock songs ever. Its complex structure makes it perfect for a parody, allowing for many cat-related situations to be included in the lyrics.
May this clever video remind us to find humor in everyday moments. In a world that can sometimes feel heavy, let’s not forget to embrace the lighter side of things. And who knows? The next time your cat wakes you up at 3 AM for no apparent reason, you might find yourself humming a few lines from ‘Bohemian Catsody’.
