John Debella was taking requests on his morning radio show at Philadelphia’s Classic Rock WMGK a few years ago when he received this call:
“WMGK, what can I play for you, my man!” John said.
With slightly slurred speech a man said, ” I want to hear Bahamian Rassidy!”
“O.K., my man! We’ll get that on for you in a minute! But first, it’s Bohemian Rapsody by Queen. O.K., say it! Bohemian Rapsody!”
“Bahamian Rassidy!”
“No, no, no! Bohemian Rapsody, my man! O.K. , let’s try this! Say BO!”
“BO!”
“Say, HE!”
“HE!”
“Say, MIAN!”
“MIAN!”
“Good! Say BO-HE-MIAN!”
“BO-HE-MIAN!”
“Now say RAP!”
“RAP!”
“Say SO!”
“SO!”
“Say DEE!”
“DEE!”
“Say RAP-SO-DEE!”
“RAP-SO-DEE!”
“Great my man! That’s just great! Now say BOHEMIAN RAPSODY!”
“BAHAMIAN RASSIDY!”
