The Muppets’ Bohemian Rhapsody Turns 15: Mamaaaaaa!

The Muppets’ Bohemian Rhapsody

Fifteen years ago, The Muppets decided Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody needed more chickens, more diva moments, and about 100% more chaos. The result? A hilarious masterpiece with over 185 million views on YouTube and a 2010 Webby Award win.

Featuring Gonzo’s melodramatic chickens, Animal’s unforgettable “MAMA!” and Miss Piggy’s dramatic takeover, it’s pure Muppet mayhem, all backed by Queen’s original 1975 instrumental tracks. (Yes, the band actually said, “Sure, go wild.”)

It’s been projected at Disneyland, performed live at the Hollywood Bowl, and even rocked London’s O2 Arena. Clearly, the Muppets know how to bring the house down—literally and figuratively.

Revisit it today, because nothing says iconic like a prawn belting out Freddie Mercury!
