Exactly what the title says...a string-theory-themed a capella parody of Queen's famous rhapsody!

This video came out recently, so I don't know if it counts as "classic youtube" quite yet...but I'm betting it's headed that direction.

Thank you cephron.

Do you always approve of things you don't understand?

EDIT: Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
 
Buahaha! Love it!

It was my same, lame, Feynman joke. Sorry! But I love that song, and I recognized 90% of the references. I just played it for one of my bartenders. He apparently had heard of "Relativity" and "Einstein". He pretended to like it.

The reviews are nice:

It's now a year later, and Blais is back with the fully-realized version.

Blais' performance is nearly as tuneful as Queen's original, and right from the get-go, he addresses the conundrum posed by the view that reality is composed of tiny vibrating strings.
ref...Full lyrics!
 
I don't particularly like the original song, but that was fun to watch. Must have taken ages to make!
 
LOL Greg

I love the original ... for that matter 99% of the material Queen produced !

this rendition is brilliant :smile:

thanks for post cephron

This definitely is the height of geekiness :smile: :thumbs:
