This recreation of Bohemian Rhapsody using footballers’ names hits the back of the net
A reworking of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody using the names of footballers, made back in 2016, has been absolutely blowing minds on Twitter.
This is the full version –
Performed by Anthony Richardson and Mark Davison – otherwise known as The Exploding Heads – the song features incredibly clever lyrics by Jamie Firth and music provided by Gareth Withers.
The Exploding Heads posted a shorter version on Twitter, at a time when we could all benefit from a distraction, and it reached a new audience.

Perhaps best of all – one who didn’t make it into the song.
I very much enjoyed this 😂 https://t.co/74D9QRkwYl
