Zero Wing Rhapsody

[@Zeithri]

You know you've succeeded with a parody song when people come back some 15+ years later to listen to it because they like it.

[@BruceHoult]

I can’t believe this has only 323k views 14 years later in 2021. This *is* the original, right?

[@burp2019]

@@BruceHoult must be, it's the oldest on the site

[@CranberryFo]

@@BruceHoult If by original you mean when this was first created, it actually did not originate on KZbin. The original is on NewGrounds released in 2005.

[@BruceHoult]

@@CranberryFo certainly the original was distributed as Flash, not KZbin. I know I saw it in 2006 or 2007 but I don’t remember how/where. Same with Amazing Horse. And Strongbad.

[@ghp2179]

Of all the "All Your Base" parodies, spoofs, and spin-offs....this will forever be the best.

[@LordNumbnutsthe1st]

I honestly kinda want a T-shirt with the captain playing his guitar solo on one side with the alarm flashing and "All Your Base" in binary on the other side. I LOOOVE this little spoof. Keep coming back and it gets me more and more every time!

[@RastaJediX]

For sure.

[@jtreyl6800]

A classic from the Wild West internet days.

[@DanaTheInsane]

I'd already been online 12 years. Heh.

[@soulmagic1441]

the good ol times

[@pirajacinto4]

It's so wild. I remember watching this as a kid and thinking how lazy it was to repeat the words and not really do anything with it. But here I am, 15+ years later and it's still in my head and I love it. It's wonderful...will last just as long as the original at this point in people's memories.

[@MobKnowledge]

CATS rocking out was damned epic! Also, this made me feel for the Captain and his crew more than the actual intro, perfectly conveying the Captain's emotion, knowing he had no chance to survive make his time, so he gives his final order to take off every zig. It was too late for him, but it wasn't too late for great justice!

[@TranceCore3]

For great justice. Take off every zig

[@Chentzilla]

Best comedy is often mixed with tragedy.

[@EuMesmoVII]

The Captain surely knew what he doing.

[@LadyGameLyric]

This video changed my life in 2006.

Lol =)

[@avokthebat6344]

It is currently December, in the year of our lord 2022, and I am still watching this.

[@samppakoivula9977]

No worries, after all the war is just beginning in 2101, so there is plenty of time! ^^

[@jjj0309]

This shit never gets old.

[@colinadcock8115]

[@gremlinn7]

Thumbs-up if you were watching this in A.D. 2101 and war was still not beginning.

[@mattsodano6264]

This remains my favorite "All Your Base" tribute ever.

[@aircraftcarrierwo-class]

I can't believe I keep coming back to watch this over a decade later.

[@winniethexiofficial]

amazingly, animations 17 yrs ago are better than modern Nft art

[@orangeshortstuff7655]

I miss memes like this, where anyone with enough time could make thousands watch and laugh, no matter the tools used, or the editing skill of the people involved. All you needed was a few hours, and a unique idea. This is what you got when you combined the time required today with the memes of the past. Then again, this does combine a two of my favourite things: namely, Queen and old memes. With that, may CATS have mercy on me, and may he give me a chance to survive make my time.

[@Jammer439y8]

I agree, memes nowadays are mostly as simple and boring as “Patrick Star floating”, “spinning pikachu” or, “pufferfish eating a carrot”, like HOW IS THAT FUNNY?! Not to mention most of them end up being just simple, lazy edits, these would be ok if they only existed as a test for the creator’s editing software, but nope, memes nowadays have to revolve around lazy edits that aren’t even funny in the first place. Also, DOES EVERY MEME VIDEO HAVE TO HAVE THE WORD MEME IN THE TITLE?!, the word meme is so tainted nowadays, the definition of a meme nowadays is, anything that has an edit, or anything that’s funny. That’s the wrong definition of a meme, the right definition of a meme is the definition of a meme back then, the definition of a meme back then was something a lot more specific rather than just a specific video or phrase, something being a meme meant that it was a popular image or video that can be copied and widely spread across the Internet. What I mean by, the image or video being copied, I mean something that someone can make a variation of, memes involved making variations of jokes. Some examples of ACTUAL MEMES include, Leekspin, LOL Internet, PINGAS, and the Space Jam theme, the only real GOOD MEMES we’ve had nowadays were, To Be Continued, Bass Boost, and Steamed Hams, We Are Number One was meh and would be better IF THE FORMAT FOR IT WASN’T USED FOR EVERYTHING NOWADAYS, not to mention LazyTown was already a meme in the past with, You Are A Pirate, Ugandan Knuckles probably would have been good if it wasn’t overused to the point of being as stale as 7 GRANDDAD, while I do think that 7 GRANDDAD can be funny at times, it’s only when it’s not overused, but the problem is that it IS OVERUSED. Don’t even get me started on the current state of the comment section. In short, old memes are objectively better than most modern memes, etc etc. I don’t know who started even started the garbage age of meme, was it TikTok, or the Gacha community, I’m willing to bet the answer is both. #MakeInternetMemesAwesomeAgain

[@Sirax123]

Not memes...Art.

Believe it or not, but I didn't know about Bohemian Rhapsody until I listened to this :D

[@harusrighthand6065]

Yer naht dey onley wan

[@LucidorSWE]

No way!?!

Wow. 2006… doesn’t feel like this was from that time period. I wish I had internet at this time.

[@kuriatsu]

I first saw this I think in 2008 or 2009. This remains in my memory as one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Thank you for uploading it so long ago. I love this song and I still share the link with people :)

[@exoticpropulsion8175]

OMG all these years later and this still had me laughing hard.

[@Maverick619topgun1]

Now whenever I hear the Bohemian Rhapsody, I just have to sing the Zero Wing Rhapsody to it. I'll never listen to the Bohemian Rhapsody the same way again!

[@Yonkage]

I know. I KNOW! I remember watching the original AYB on a dial-up connection. Had to let the thing buffer for about half an hour or it would pause partway through. OH MY GOD I'M SO OLD!

[@supertransistor8762]

"We get signal" "WHAHAHAT"

[@wzrdq]

oh my god i saw this for the first time today and i cried tears of nostalgic joy were streaming down my face to the people who made this video, i love you

[@veronicamcghie5238]

Honestly? A lot better now I'm watching this video

[@RinJackson]

I'd like to see someone sing this on AGT, if only to see how the judges react :)

[@RastaJediX]

I can't imagine how dumb this must seem to those watching that haven't a clue what AYB is lmao.

It’s been about 15 years since I first saw this, and it still lives rent free in my head.

I didn't knew that "somebody set us up the bomb" phrase is from All your base belong to us meme, and now every time I hear Final Boss Veigar voice line.

[@davidv776]

OMFG... This is ridiculous... But i can't stop watching it. At least it made me smile, good work.

[@sirmoco]

The Queen did a great cover of this song.

[@kagenlim5271]

Can we acknowledge how this is one of the oldest videos in KZbin?

[@FRSTLST-e2z]

Oldest remnant of YTPs? If not that, at least song parodies like Story of Undertale?

[@Shoe]

I found myself singing this song today and i had to go and find it again. Something i listened to 15+ years ago still lives rent free in my head.

[@Nightlingbolt]

Wow. The song is still good, but the video itself hasn't aged well. Dunno if that's a byproduct of moving it from Newgrounds to KZbin, but it was still choppy in a few areas.

[@zsin128]

This has got to be the best musical parody of all time. So great is its power that I was forced to sing it alongside Queen's song when it came on the radio.

[@philddlesticks]

Only just discovered this in 2019 lol

[@MobKnowledge]

The "For Great Justice" at the end gives me chills.

[@NicklePizza]

The last "For great justice" in that falsetto has lived in my heart for like 20 years

[@ssbaum]

[@PouKii]

hahaha this was so funny, i love the guitar solo and the lighters part.... 5 stars, now you can go to SPECIAL LEVEL

[@Yonkage]

The best parody of the ATB, ever! I love the little things, like the Captain playing air guitar, the head-banging CATS, the "Ziggo" lighters, and of course the resemblance to the actual Bohemian Rhapsody music video. Also, the "Operator" has a REALLY nice siniging voice!

[@Smurfinat0r]

In concurring with past trends/statements, this animation was definitely for great justice. Someone set up me the win bomb... in my brain.
