A better quality version (better audio and no watermarks) can be found here, but the YT poster has disabled embedding. If there's any workaround for this, please let me know (ie. if somebody wants to download the .flv and host it on their own Tube account) and I'll get the better one up here.

Edit: found a decent-quality embeddable version on the myspaces, obviating the need for any questionable tactics.

for those who don't know, i go bananas over E6.

from wikipedia:
The controversial music video shows lead singer Dick Valentine as the ghost of Queen's flamboyant lead singer Freddie Mercury and a backing band of poodles. Queen drummer Roger Taylor, who wrote the song, said that he was "unimpressed" with the video; however, Queen guitarist Brian May reportedly liked it.
According to Dick Valentine:
“ Though some have claimed this video portrays me dancing on Freddie Mercury's grave, actually it's more like we are resurrecting Mr. Mercury for the duration of the song and his grave is the logical starting point. Anyhow, everyone knows we disliked the fact that we had to put this song on our record, so this ridiculous video took a little bit of the sting out of it for us and made it somewhat bearable. It was also very rewarding to work with dogs.
