bohemian rhapsody 40 years - is it news worthy

[waterhog]

bohemian rhapsody 40 years 11.11.15



let me take you on a adventure

more explosive then biology

queen are embedded in my mind like debenture

that's why number 1 is rhapsody.

£3500 to produce

to understand your will need a brain scan

your imagination will not reduce

can you see a silhouette of a man.

did it take long to construct

3 hours with paper and pencil

only freddie mercury could conduct

start the music video and MTV i will stencil.

the thunderbolts were very frightening

opera to rock did cause curiosity

the 4 faces was lightning

i was no poor boy spare in his life from his monstrosity.

40 years on and still fascinating

i am privileged to worship queen

if freddie was here what would he be calculating

like brian says, just happy he made music that's evergreen.

It was a MASSIVE song - nowadays songs do not get as big

[Niamh.]

One of the best songs ever written imo

Great song, but even more overplayed over the years than Stairway to Heaven and Wonder Wall.

Only joking lol. Bohemian Rhapsody is a timeless classic and always will be 40, 50, 100 years down the line. Doesn't matter.

You know what really killed it for me? Not the fact that it's overplayed... but the fact it's my Dad's favourite song.

...it's funny how when we're younger/teenagers and finding our own identity etc ..the worst thing in the world is the thought of liking things that our parents likes and especially I think with things like music because in teenage years, music/artists etc are such an important part of our lives...but then, as we get older, we really don't mind at all and start to appreciate their music...

..there are a few songs that the boys hated when they were teenagers, just because their dad played them..(repeatedly..)..on guitar...but now they like lots of things that he likes...

My kids are the opposite, they love all the music we do, my daughter is always asking me for suggestions of stuff to listen to. I am pretty cool though so I don't blame her tbh :hee:

[lostalex]

the only reason i know and love that song is because of Waynes World the movie in the 90's. it was funny.

The actual song and band are cheesy as hell though. it's a joke song, it's like on the same level as Meat Loaf.

Look at Jared Leto, barely aged a day since back then :lovedup:

[joeysteele]

This song was released 17 years before I was born and was a number one again a few months before I was.
It is a total masterpiece,worthy of its endless adulation and status as if not the greatest composition ever then it's certainly at the very top of them.

Freddie Mercury was an awesome talent and sadly gone from the music world far too soon.
Sheer brilliance this recording is.

[Gusto Brunt]

Great song. But why not also celebrate Laurel and Hardy were No.2. :D

[kirklancaster]

When BR was number 1 i was hanging around the mean streets of East Kilbride as a wee boy

The pic below was on the town centre and the 2 stone sculpture things in the centre I used to play and play on. They were smooth stone and i recall i could never get up on the one on the right as it was too big and too smooth. The thing with the red curtains was I think The Mushroom, a restaurant and it was like Spaceage to me (EK was a new town so modern with roundabouts back in the day). Under that restaurant was a sweets kiosk where I once bought a Superhero chocolate bar that I genuinely believed would give me superpowers, but it didnt :bawling:

You are just as sweet and vulnerable as anyone LT. I feel nostalgic for those days in East Kilbride and I've NEVER been there. :laugh:

I am not sure being an expert in cross-sectional data analysis would be enough for Marvel?

[Mokka]

QUEEN... could never be overrated.

The song is older than me, but as a teen, all my friends listened, and my kids and there friends have all discovered and listened to it as well.
It is timeless :flutter:

My kids are the opposite, they love all the music we do, my daughter is always asking me for suggestions of stuff to listen to. I am pretty cool though so I don't blame her tbh :hee:



This is me... but then again, I am you :hehe:

[waterhog]

Operatic Rock should be appreciated as it's a very rare form of Rock Music.
