Why? The only time he'd heard the song is probably drunk and/or high.

While this is true, I was just surprised because when he was pleading his case to the cops at the beginning of the video he couldn't even get a sentence out properly...he then burst into song and didn't miss a thing.

I saw this in another thread. What an epic performance. I couldn't help but watch the whole thing just to see if he completed the entire song. And then the guy just calms right down at the end. Awesome.

The ending is the best part!

The ending of the video is the best part. He finishes singing and then just completely shuts up and waits. Yeah the singing is hilarious but the fact that he was so into it and then was just suddenly so calm when it ended was gold.

"Do you have to cuff me?"
"Are you gonna be good?"
"Physical violence is the least of my priorities"

Americans watching that video will probably be confused about the ending.

"Do you have to cuff me?"

calm, non-stern talking cop voice: "Are you gonna be good?"

"Physical voilence is the least of my worries"

"okay, let's go"

That's like something you'd see on the Simpsons or Family guy, when they make fun of Canada...

In a TSG interview, Wilkinson said that he had uploaded the tape earlier this month for the amusement of friends. Wilkinson, who was unaware that the police video (see below) had gone viral, said that he is a karaoke singer who has performed all 113 Beatles songs available on karaoke machines. Asked how he was able to recall almost all the “Bohemian Rhapsody” lyrics, Wilkinson sought to display his memory by rattling off a long string of digits in Pi.



Sucks that he's f$&$ ing his life up by alegedly driving drunk.

Don't they usually handcuff the drunk and disorderly before they put 'em in the car?

Yep, it's funny and all, but this dude was still a drunk driver who could've killed someone by his selfish actions. Not cool.

Drunk - quite probable. Impaired - not so, I think alchohol makes this guy function at a higher level.
