Is this the real life?

Is this the real life?
Making a cover of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody:

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?

Mama, just tried Number 5 lacquer,
put it in the airbrush, pulled my trigger,
now the kit... shines like the sun!!

Mama, my life had just begun,
because Number Five is back...

¡¡¡Mama, ooh!!!
New colour ranges,
with almost immediate drying,
new hyper thin primers,
and a new clearcoat laquer
with even better finishes than before.

Mama, ooh,
I'm sure they'll make me cry,
if I don't have in my bench tomorrow.
Please courier, hurry up,
as if nothing really matters.

Sent shivers down my spine,
body's aching all the time,
goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
gotta leave you all behind and face
Hobby Design photoetches for the Roadster Aventador,
the Panigale and the MP4/8.

¡¡Mama mía!! ¡¡Mama mía!!
Nothing really matters to me,
as long as airbrushes blow...

...the new Number Five products!!
BR>P.S. Our most sincere apologies to all Queen fans for that! :D
