If there’s going to be singing in the car on a long road trip, it’d better come from someone as cute and talented as Holly Lee, a 3-year-old girl from Scotland who’s just become a viral star.
She may be young, but Holly Lee is what you might call a diehard Queen / Freddie Mercury fan. She knows the words to “Bohemian Rhapsody” by heart and she will rock out from her child carseat in the back of her mother’s car whenever she gets the chance.
The video at the bottom of the page is of her in action, as they say. She not only knows the words but she also does a bit of headbanging when the situation requires it and does her best to sing all the voices. She’s nothing if not dedicated.
Her mother, Charlene, tells the Daily Record that this started as a means to pass the time while in the car, as she ran errands. It’s become a sort of tradition now, with Holly Lee singing the song “three or four times a day.”
“She was bored in the car and I was trying to entertain her. It’s the only song I knew all the words to so I started singing it,” Charlene explains. “She bounces about and when it’s the bit with the heads she just sings and tries to do everyone’s different voices – the high pitch and the low pitch. It’s so funny when she comes out with these words like ‘monstrosity’.”
Holly Lee makes for an ideal backseat passenger, because she delivers the entertainment in full: music and dancing. Plus, performing for her small audience keeps her still during the drive, which is something most parents complain about when riding with toddlers in the car.
“She just sings it all the time,” Charlene adds. It sure beats throwing a tantrum, doesn’t it?
