Drunk ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Cover in a Cop Car Is Full of Win [VIDEO]

Is this the real life — or is this just fantasy?

People often hope to achieve internet fame by uploading a cover song onto YouTube. But most of them aren’t performed while drunk in the back of a police vehicle.

Robert Wilkinson, a 29-year-old from Edson, AB, was arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for intoxication, and evidently didn’t agree with the charges. After pleading his case in slurred speech, he decided to describe his ordeal by belting out Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.

Despite his inebriated state, Wilkinson manages to belt out the entire song, accompanied by some serious headbanging and air drumming.

If we were to nitpick, we would point out that the actual lyrics are slightly different — “open your eyes” rather than “open your minds,” for example — but we doubt we could remember them perfectly under such circumstances either.

Before he could finish the song, an RCMP officer tells Wilkinson to quiet down.

“I can’t … because nothing really matters,” he responds. “Anyone can see. Nothing really matters … even the RCMP!”

At least he didn’t mean to make his mama cry.
