Two very different videos turn Queen into comedy: “Opinion Rhapsody” rewrites “Bohemian Rhapsody” as a send-up of social-media arguments, while a separate edit pairs Freddie Mercury’s concert vocals with footage of a pika. The clips were covered in November 2018; the reported view count below is historical, not current.
Two different jokes built around Queen
Scroll.in described both videos in its November 21, 2018 coverage, but they use distinct comic approaches. “Opinion Rhapsody” changes the song’s subject; the pika edit creates a visual contrast between Mercury performing and a small animal appearing to echo his stage presence.

| “Opinion Rhapsody” | “Bohemian Rhapsody” | Dustin & Genevieve; lyrics written and sung by Dustin Ahkuoi, according to Scroll.in | Rewritten lyrics about social-media fights and online trolls |
| Pika/Freddie Mercury edit | Mercury vocals from a historic Queen performance in Budapest | Video editor Joe Vivers | Pika footage is paired with live vocals and the feel of a concert call-and-response |
What is “Opinion Rhapsody”?
“Opinion Rhapsody” is Dustin & Genevieve’s parody of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Scroll.in credits Dustin Ahkuoi with writing and singing lyrics that poke fun at the quarrels and trolling common on social media. Rather than simply imitate Queen’s sound, the video redirects the song’s dramatic scale toward online disputes. Scroll.in’s November 21, 2018 coverage identifies the channel and describes the parody.
What is the pika Freddie Mercury video?
Joe Vivers’s edit places footage of a pika alongside Freddie Mercury vocals from a historic Queen performance in Budapest, as Scroll.in described it. The joke is the apparent visual resemblance between the animal’s movements and Mercury’s commanding stage manner—not that the pika is actually singing.

A pika is a small mammal related to rabbits. Nerdist’s November 21, 2018 account describes the clip as playing on Mercury’s audience-participation style, in which a singer prompts a crowd to respond. It characterized the pika as seeming to mimic his stage presence. Nerdist’s coverage explains the concert gag; it does not establish the exact concert date or set list.
