藝人：Queen
專輯：A Night at the Opera
年份：1975
曲名：Bohemian Rhapsody

又是首搖滾樂界的超級經典歌曲！在英國，如果要票選史上最佳團體，大概毫無疑問會是 The Beatles，他們實在紅的離譜。但若要選史上最佳歌曲，通常奪魁的都會是 Queen 的這首波西米亞狂想曲，英國人愛死這首歌了。

這首歌的編曲繁複，融入歌劇式的華麗合音更為人津津樂道。整首歌變化多端起伏甚大，一開始便以一小段引人入勝的歌劇式合音起頭，帶入甜美哀傷的抒情曲調，然後再轉回非常戲劇化的高亢歌劇合音，再昇至近乎重金屬的狂暴，最後又急遽的靜下來轉回抒情而結束整曲。多種強烈的變化，轉折卻讓人覺得順暢無比，一氣呵成，實可謂神來之筆，能成為最佳歌曲不是沒有原因的。

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality.
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.

Mama just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango.
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me.
(Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo, Galileo figaro
Magnifico. I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me.
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity.
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go.
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go.
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go.
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go.
(Let me go.) Will not let you go.
(Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
(Oh mama mia, mama mia.) Mama mia, let me go.
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.
So you think you can love me and leave me to die.
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me.

Any way the wind blows.

當初在網路上抓到這首「Bohemian Rap City」時寫說是 Weird Al Yankovic 唱的，聽起來也很像。可是後來查資料，發現很可能不是，首先是在 All Music Guide 查資料 Weird Al Yankovic 並沒有唱過這首歌，後來又看到這網頁： http://www.geocities.com/phillipriley/notal.html ，其網頁主題竟是「Not Weird Al Songs」，列出了很多「不是 Weird Al Yankovic 唱的歌」，其中也包括了「Bohemian Rap City」。

呵呵，真是有趣的現象，Weird Al Yankovic 是專門模仿別人的傢伙，大概的作的太成功，看來有很多人反而去模仿 Weird Al Yankovic，真像個老鼠會牽拖不完啊！
