"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, performed in sign language by Stephen Torrence. Gloss/lyrics below and captions by yours truly. Thanks to all who voted and chose this song from among hundreds of requests! Note: I guessed the name signs for Galileo and Figaro based on the qualities "telescope" and "happy," respectively.
