"Bohemian Rhapsody" was a song by Freddie Mercury (PROSE: Direct Action) that had an opera-like structure with falsetto singing, a hard rock section in the middle, and a slow, reflective ending. (PROSE: Sick Building)
In a parallel world, Wilfred Mott, Donna Noble, Sylvia Noble, Rocco Colasanto and everyone else living at number 29 on a street in Leeds sang in 2009 on the night that all ATMOS cars emitted gas. They also sang "The Wild Rover" that same night.
Its lyrics included:
- I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me.
- He's just a poor boy from a poor family.
- Spare him his life from this monstrosity.
- Easy come easy go. Will you let me go?
- Bismillah! No—
They were interrupted when UNIT soldiers outside were shooting the cars. (TV: Turn Left)
On Tiermann's World, the Tenth Doctor, Barbara and Toaster attempted to calm a horned bear by singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" to it. (PROSE: Sick Building)
During a storm in Elizabethan London, the Eleventh Doctor began to sing "Bohemian Rhapsody" before being shushed by River Song. (GAME: The Eternity Clock)
The Thirteenth Doctor sang the lyrics "I see a little silhouetto of a man..." when she spotted Rodney Minto in a crowd. (COMIC: The Power of the Mobox)
