A new rendition of Queen’s classic hit, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” is gaining attention on social media for being sung in Minionese, a playful language associated with the animated Minions characters. The performance by TikTok creator Ella Mott at the premiere of “Minions & Monsters” at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre has sparked viral buzz and admiration from viewers.
In a widely shared Instagram clip, Mott showcases her talent by singing the iconic rock song in the whimsical, nonsensical language of the Minions, known for using words like “banana,” “bapple,” and “potato.” Despite initial perplexity from the audience, many were entertained and impressed by Mott’s fluent Minionese rendition.
Fans on social media praised Mott for her unique performance, with some humorously suggesting that even Freddie Mercury would have appreciated her rendition. Mott, who has demonstrated her fluency in Minionese in various TikTok videos, has garnered millions of views and likes for her quirky language skills.
The Minionese singing contest where Mott performed “Bohemian Rhapsody” was part of the premiere event for “Minions & Monsters.” The winner, who sang the Jackson 5’s “I’ll Be There” in Minionese, was awarded a Golden Banana. The latest installment in the “Despicable Me” franchise, “Minions & Monsters,” is set to hit theaters on July 1.
