Angry Birds Meet Freddie Mercury

It seems you just cannot shake off those pesky Angry Birds. Not happy sapping the lives of commuters everywhere, the titular stars of the hugely successful video game have now invaded the Viral Video Chart.

Thankfully, it is all for a good cause. The new video campaign, in which the Angry Birds don moustaches to do a cover of Queen's popular hit, Bicycle, is in support of The Mercury Phoenix Trust, which hosts National Freddie Day on September 5th each year.

Set up to commemorate Freddie Mercury's birthday, Freddie For a Day encourages people to sponsor others willing to dress up as the legendary Queen front man, with all proceeds going to the AIDS charity, the Mercury Phoenix Trust.

No doubt boosted by the cult followings both the birds and the band enjoy, the video has racked up 1,791,868 views and 26,325 shares in just three days.
