Panic! At The Disco Answers an Age Old Question

Is the Bohemian Rhapsody coverable? That's the question that had gone unanswered (and ignored) for decades, until The Flaming Lips released their album "Killer Queen" in 2005. In this cover, it takes about 30 seconds for the listener to realize what song they're trying to play... and about 3 more seconds to hate it. Then, in 2009 on her Funhouse Tour, P!nk showed us that it is possible, belting out an impressive six minute rendition of the Freddie Mercury hit, though I believe it didn't get the attention it deserved.

In early September 2014, the Forest Rangers recorded their own cover of Bohemian Rhapsody for the 7th Series premier of Sons of Anarchy, single-handedly undoing what P!nk did five years prior. Though the tone of the cover may have fit the scene it was preformed for perfectly, the cover itself made music fans worldwide collectively cringe.

Panic! At The Disco's almost immediate rebuttal squashed everyone's memory of the Rangers' cover (if you could call it that). From beginning to end, this song is everything everyone could ever hope for out of a professionally done cover of (arguably) the greatest song ever written. The video is posted below. Enjoy it; I know somewhere Freddie Mercury did.
