@ taylor alatorre--"I f we ever meet someone who doesn't love this song, it'll be proof of extraterrest r i a l life. No mere human can dislike Bohemian Rhapsody."
You are SO RIGHT! Made me laugh out loud! Thanks for that. |

I fondly remember back in highschool seeing a "movie" with queen performing the song back in the 70s when I was in high school ... who would have known that this sort of experience would eventually give birth to MTV and music videos in general.

Every time I hear this song it brings back fond memories of watching Wayne's World.
|
||
I always thought it was about a murderer contemplatin g his execution. Great song!
|

It does rather hauntingly prefigure Freddie's battle with AIDS doesn't it?
But the song was written and recorded well before the AIDS era began. The Inuendo album and "The Show Must Go On" were recorded while Freddy knew he was dying. |
||
Actually Bohemian Rhapsody is about Freddie's battle with AIDS if I remember correctly.
|
||
Absolutely amazingly random. And awesome. One of the many reasons that Queen is one of my favorite bands. and, @taylor, well said.
|
||
Obvious references to a child leaving for war... but sometimes I get the feeling this song was an introspectiv e contemplatio n of suicide. Anyone know for certain?
|
||

If we ever meet someone who doesn't love this song, it'll be proof of extraterrest r i a l life. No mere human can dislike Bohemian Rhapsody.

Maybe one of the best true ROCK songs ever made? Not saying it is but would listen to the debate!!
|
||
I can never get tired of this song, no matter how much I hear it. What an incredible piece of music.
|
||
I remember the first time i heard this song, my older brother made me beileve they all died from aids. Then I dint believe him when he told me Freddie Mercury was gay lol.
|
||
I love this song! One of my fave Queen songs (others: We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions, and probably something else). :D
|
||
From the classic days of rock - you can't imagine any current group putting together a classic song like this.
