The crowd went quiet when he started whimpering a sad story about walking in on his mother with a gun in his hand. He then hilariously broke the silence with "Mama, just killed a man/Put a gun against his head/Pulled my trigger now he's dead," the opening lyrics of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." A testament to Walker's odd charisma: he immediately entertained even the cold and inattentive audience in the Paradise that night...
