One of the first 1080p Youtube videos has appeared today, a Muppets cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. I can’t think of a better way to show off your new HD technology than that.
It is a perfectly targeted video. Using an older song like Bohemian Rhapsody and starring the Muppets, this video is a perpetual nostalgia-generating machine. The video quality itself is great, and everyone loves Queen. The Muppets were meticulously picked to match the particular section of the song, whether it be lyrical content (Ms. Piggy singing that nothing really matters but changing it so say “but me” as opposed to “to me”) or just pitch (Beaker being Beaker).
It’s not a mind-blowing experience. It’s the Muppets singing Queen, but it’s such a fun trip down memory lane where anyone who cares even a little bit about either the Muppets or Queen has to watch this, especially if they can run the 1080p version.
Also, the idea of the Muppets being tech savvy enough to do video conferencing is funny on its own right, especially to me who remembers them sort of existing in a world outside of normal time and technology.
