(阿省埃德森30日加新社电)YouTube互联网站近日疯传的1段歌唱视频在警车内拍摄(图)，原唱者是阿尔伯达省1名男子。他涉嫌酒后驾驶，被警方拘捕。他央求警察放他走，警方拒绝，他就高唱一曲狂想曲，发泄内心感受。
29岁的男子威尔金森(Robert Wilkinson)献唱《波希米亚狂想曲》(Bohemian Rhapsody)，视频在互联网上流传，点击起码160万人次，消息传遍全球。
去年11月，威尔金森在家乡埃德森(Edson)上酒吧，他在爱蒙顿以西150公里处回家途中被捕，被控醉酒驾驶、拒绝接受血液酒精呼气测试。
在视频中，威尔金森向警员求情，跟?唱歌，演绎英国皇后摇滚乐队(Queen)的经典名曲。
他不修边幅、满脸胡须，煞有介事，小心翼翼摘下眼镜，开始长达6分钟的演唱。他唱作俱佳、手势十足，摇头摆脑。他几乎记得所有歌词，简直神奇。
威尔金森唱：“易来也易去，你会让我走吗。噢，妈咪呀，让我走…”
有人敲击塑胶阻隔板，警员说：“威尔金森，你要冷静。”威尔金森说：“我没办法！”他接?唱下去。
他唱到最后第2句歌词，稍微改动歌词，把“我不在乎一切”唱成“不在乎一切，甚至皇家骑警”。
这段黑白视频显然由警车摄影机拍下，皇家骑警表示，他们没有违章发放视频。他们寄视频给威尔金森，作为今年秋天审讯证据。
威尔金森表示，在本月稍早时将视频张贴上网，希望警惕年轻人。
Mama… he just killed a song
EDSON, Alta. — The latest singing sensation on YouTube is an Alberta man who belts out the song “Bohemian Rhapsody” while riding in the back of an RCMP cruiser.
The video of Robert Wilkinson has had at least 1.6 million hits and has made news around the world.
But the 29-year-old is nonchalant about his newfound fame. He says his friends think the video is hilarious. His mother? Not so much.
“My mother is ashamed and she probably might never speak to me again,” Wilkinson said Friday.
Wilkinson was arrested last November while driving home from a bar in his hometown of Edson, about 150 kilometres west of Edmonton. He was charged with impaired driving and refusing a breathalyzer test.
On the video, Wilkinson pleads his case with officers, then decides to express his emotions through the music of the iconic rock band Queen.
The scruffy, bearded man carefully takes off his glasses before launching into the six-minute performance — complete with hand gestures and head-banging. Incredibly, he remembers nearly all of the words.
“Easy come, easy go. Will you let me go?” sings Wilkinson. “Oh mama mia, let me go….”
At one point, after drumming on the plastic barricade, an officer says: “Robert, calm down.
“I can’t,” says Wilkinson, quickly slipping back into song.
He ends with the second-last line of the tune, but changes it from “Nothing really matters to me” to “Nothing really matters, even the RCMP.”
The grainy black-and-white video is clearly taken from a camera in the police car, but RCMP said they did not illegally release the video. It was sent to Wilkinson in a disclosure package as evidence for his trial this fall.
He said he uploaded the video earlier this month at the urging of his friends.
Wilkinson added that he hopes the video doesn’t send a bad message to young people. “I don’t want them to think that they’ll get attention for driving around drunk and getting picked up by the cops.
“I hope nobody ever drives drunk again.”
Wilkinson said he is unemployed and likes to sing karaoke. He often listens to the soundtrack from the “Wayne’s World” movie that includes “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
He thought the tune was suitable for sitting in the back of a police car. He said the officer who was driving “kept his cool the entire time.”
When asked how he was able to remember all the lyrics, Wilkinson rattled off several digits of the mathematical constant Pi.
“Dude, you are my new hero!” wrote Sami Rautiainen of Germany. “Didn’t see why you got arrested (hopefully you didn’t kill a man) and don’t really care, but the police car back-seat action was the reason Internet was invented!
“And props for singing the entire song! I couldn’t do that even when I’m sober.”

Meet The Talented Canadian Arrestee Who Belted Out “Bohemian Rhapsody” In The Back Of A Police Cruiser
MARCH 29, 2012
The star of that viral “Bohemian Rhapsody” police video is an unemployed Canadian man who first uploaded the clip to his YouTube page after receiving it from prosecutors when he opted to defend himself on a drunk driving charge.
After getting busted last November in Edson, Alberta, Robert Wilkinson, 29, was placed in the back of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police cruiser, where he launched into an a capella version of the Queen classic (complete with musical interludes).
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.
Before launching into “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Wilkinson, who was not handcuffed, lectured a RCMP officer, claiming that he was not intoxicated. “You’re actually an ignorant fucking cunt. So fuck you buddy,” Wilkinson told the cop, who had earlier pulled over his truck.
An RCMP spokesperson told TSG that the police footage was provided to Wilkinson in the course of discovery in his criminal case, which is pending. In a February Facebook post, Wilkinson reported that he was “seeking council for an impaired driving” charge, adding, “Got the DVD.” Wilkinson told TSG that he was convicted of mischief when he was 18, but that the charge was later expunged from his record.
In late-January, Wilkinson posted a Facebook photo showing the exterior of the Provincial Court of Alberta, along with the comment, “I only have like $1000. I am in trouble with police.” A home brewer, Wilkinson noted in a post last month that he was “solving the worlds problems, one beer at a time.”
Wilkinson’s YouTube page includes a video chronicling his 2004 dismissal from the Vancouver Film School, as well as clips showing him twice getting punched in the face by a friend.
