TUKUO plays - Bohemian Rhapsody (Freddie Mercury/ Brian May)

[@DamonMacready]

It's so lovely to hear different great versions of great songs. The new perspective often re-awakens the emotions you had when first hearing the original, and you're being reminded how great in fact the song is! Not that you didn't know already, but the years passing by make you take the best songs for granted.

[@jenswachter9803]

Unglaublich, ich bin sprachlos. Its amazing.

[@PIPIPISTA]

The finish of the song blow me away. Superb.

[@BARKINGattheMOON100]

The essence of music is surely to have fun and they definitely do.💖

[@precsmo]

So beautiful

[@mmickm8]

Most excellent!

[@rlwalker2]

Wonderful. I wish this group would make some new video clips.

[@susanbolton6215]

I recently watched Pentatonix do Bohemian Rhapsody and couldn't get it out of my head for weeks. Now it's back! Nooooo. Love this song.

[@Paulthepsych]

It's called an 'ear worm'! :)

[@tixximmi1]

One of the best covers of that song.

[@BeBe711]

absolutly awsome

Es kommt niemand an Freddy Mercury dran, aber das ist eine sehr schöne Variante dieses tollen Songs!

[@MauriatOttolink]

Silke Müller. Übersetzung,, Nobody can get to Freddy Mercury, but that's a very nice variation on this great song!

[@owenvickery4027]

Just to reiterate, the actual music starts at 02:58.

I wish I knew German, what he said before the song really got everyone's attention. Well done!

[@franke.federal2440]

ladies and gentleman, we are now close to the end of our show. this is a little istrument which makes great music. then he explains a project of a friend who plays & learns ukulele with children. The money for the ticket will be used for this project. It was a honor to play in st. pauli. (well, thats a short version of what he said)

[@WadoNeil]

The audience was particularly moved a project where Israeli and Palestinian children and learning to play the uke together .. the tickets for the show were helping to fund the project

[@natehill8069]

He finished up with: ...and this is why we thought we would close with this old, traditional song.

[@overlycreative1]

@@dieIgeline Do you imagine that everyone of us have 3 minutes to sit and plow through unintelligible speech? Times how many times here on KZbin? It's not classless to jump to the important part that we see them exercise their musical skills. Have some class yourself and don't assume Steve didn't listen to it all, I did, yet, many will click off at 1 minute in because of their own tastes and miss this brilliant interpretation on the Ukulele.

[@stephenjones5656]

jeffkwells2003 He didnt say there was. And thats what fast-forward is for.

[@michealobanaghan4220]

You mean English-only speakers, I guess. It's not very difficult German if you have the basics of the language. Adding a bit of humour at the end the guy says (paraphrased) "we'd like to end the show with something light and simple, so we shall now sing this ancient, traditional song ..."

[@m1dlguk]

@@michealobanaghan4220 German isn't taught in UK schools as a second language until people are taught French to a component level. Therefore many Brits don't have a basic knowledge of German, I don't know if this is the same in other English language schools, but I suspect many American schools learn Spanish before they learn other languages. I appreciate English is a Germanic based language, and share many common root words, but not enough to make it understandable to people without being taught the basics of German.

The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain it is certainly NOT - you've been conned.

[@MauriatOttolink]

seanmoyes.. Sean. No conning ..I made the same mistake. They are the Uke. Orchestra of UK not GB. Different outfit. How's your banjo playing? By now, it must have moved from brilliant to virtuoso! Hoped to play with you somehow in UK but our paths never met. (Jazz saxes... Alto, Tenor, Bari, clrt.) Bottom's dropped out of the market now thanks to Corona. Your's in Jazz.

As an Englishman living in Germany you get used to sloppy pronunciation of English lyrics. But this is in a (low) class of its own. On the other hand, we were warned - the ageing extrovert goon said we would have trouble following. We did. And too much blah blah before the event is so German. Fass Dich kurz, verdammt!

This is so sad, a total ripoff of the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain (the original and best, established mid eighties) and just an attempt to cash in on their hard work and success. The cynicism of using a .co.uk comain for their website is also pretty disappointing. These people do not deserve our support.
