'Bohemian Rhapsody' lyrics applied literally are a real crime thriller

Queen’s 1975 classic is quite the operatic odyssey, and as many people know, it’s the perfect song to lose your voice to after a few drinks at karaoke.

But it turns out that “Bohemian Rhapsody” makes for a mean plot for a short film too — an idea that’s now a reality courtesy of YouTube channel Corridor. 

What has long been thought of as a song which relates to frontman Freddie Mercury’s personal troubles has been twisted into a stylistic, neo-noir police standoff, with dialogue that only uses the song’s lyrics. 

It’s a bit of real life, it’s a bit of fantasy. Whole lot of Galileo Figero.
