Songs have various meanings to different people, or they associate songs with things. My daughter and I were discussing this song today, and we both came up the same thing. When you hear this song, what do you think of?
Evil exists. You can not negotiate with, bribe or placate evil. You're not going to be able to have it sit down with Dr. Phil for an anger management session either.

I remember a friend of mine who is a decent guitarist trying unsuccessfully to play that guitar solo over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again and again and again.................

Yeah, muppets. I've probably heard that version more than the original.
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

The first time that I can remember hearing this song was in a math class in the 6th or 7th grade. The teacher brought in a cassette or radio and announced 'this is the best song ever' or something like that. No idea about why he decided to foist it on us excepting that he really really liked it. Damn that was otherwise a punishingly boring experience, the math class. Good fun song but lacking logic in the details. So my associated memory is quite unhip... Texas, heat, math, puzzlement.
Freddie Mercury was born in India as Farukh Balsur. Heck of a change-up. Check out the BBC program.This message has been edited. Last edited by: mr kablammo,

This song reminds me that Queen had so many great songs that I can't imagine why this is their most popular one. Even "Another One Bites the Dust" is superior.

It reminds me to switch the station. I like Queen and Freddy, but not this song.

I was reading about the production of the album 'A Night at the Opera' and according to the engineers that worked on it, Bohemian Rhapsody took almost three weeks for that one track to be completed, and at the time was the most expensive song ever recorded

Back when I was 13 - 14 (~1987 - 1988) I was friends with someone who was 4 years older than me. He had a 72 Buick Skylark that he got from a little old lady. Absolutely mint condition. He painted it metallic blue with aluminum mag wheels. We used to drive around aimlessly for hours and hours on end listening to Queen's Greatest hits on his Pioneer Super Tuner. Good times.
