Queen

[bertine]

On the way to work I heard Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and knew every word to it. Of course this makes me want to make a poll! I put a "I don't like Queen" because so many people wanted that choice on the ABBA song poll.

BTW, Queen is one of my mom's favorite bands of all time. It was a huge treat to have her put on her queen albums and dance around the living room when I was a little kid. :)

That was an impossible choice - it was so hard to choose. I do love me some Queen.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

It was a hard choice but we both picked Fat Bottom Girls. I love that song.

[styletax.livejournal.com]

Don't! Stop! Me! Now!!!!!!!!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I forgot about that one! So many options!

[eatsoylentgreen.livejournal.com]

it's really really hard to choose.

And really, if people don't like Queen, it's not like their opinion matters anyways.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Exactly. How can you not think Queen is fantastic.

Are you going tonight? I made the best church basement dish ever.

And really, if people don't like Queen, it's not like their opinion matters anyways.

Agreed.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

It's not that I don't like Queen, it's just that I think they're a bit... overdone, you know?

[bertine.livejournal.com]

LOL. Of course you do. :P

I picked "Bohemian Rhapsody", but not because I like Queen. If not for the awesome that is Wayne's World, I would have picked that last option. However, since everybody now has to headbang when the song comes on, I went with it.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I can see how "Bohemian Rhapsody" would be an exception to the "I don't like Queen" rule. Still... "Fat Bottom Girls" is a great song. :P

What are you feelings on ABBA?

[damncutekitty.livejournal.com]

Every time I hear that song I think of Wayne's World and giggle.

[beg-jon13.livejournal.com]

I like Queen and Abba . . . but I think I may have missed the Abba poll.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Take the ABBA poll!

I like them both too, they are just fun!

[elphabachan.livejournal.com]

Definitely UNDER PRESSURE. Though I like lots and lots of Queen.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

That is also a good song to sing along to in your car!

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

I'm kidding about "I'm in Love with my Car"

[bertine.livejournal.com]

LOL. YOu had to point that out? :P

[jwright-71673.livejournal.com]

Too hard to choose! I picked "Who Wants to Live Forever" just 'cuz it always makes me a little emotional; I'm a sucker for the big production numbers, I guess.

Oooh! I also love "The Show Must Go On" from the last album they did with Freddie.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I forgot about "The Show Must Go On"!
I tend to get a little weepy during "Who Wants to Live Forever" too.

[elphabachan.livejournal.com]

Me too!!! What a sad song.

[joeylemur.livejournal.com]

Gordon's ALIVE!

There can be only one!

[luno.livejournal.com]

Bah!

My obscure favorite? "New York, New York" (from the scene in Highlander where The Kurgan is driving across the bridge)

Also:

Princes of the Universe
I'm Going Slightly Mad
The Invisible Man
The Show Must Go On
A Kind of Magic
One Vision (link explains easter egg in comments)

I'm a 70's/80's music fan, so ... yeah.

You should meet my mom. Ha!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

That movie is awesome.

[inkedmama.livejournal.com]

no fair! i had to pick "we will rock you" though because hearing chase sing it is just awesome.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

LOL.

That would be very cute.

[jessikate.livejournal.com]

I need an "impossible to choose" button. But I, too, chose Fat Bottomed Girls - I sing it in my head whenever I ride my bike.

I love Queen. I'd say that I love every song, but I don't care for Body Language - most songs that are so blatantly about sex make me uncomfortable.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I get that song in my head when biking too. I love that song.

I love most of their songs. I actually don't like Under Pressure, I don't know why.

"impossible to choose"

[eatsoylentgreen.livejournal.com]

friended

[messyjessy.livejournal.com]

There needs to be an "all of the above" option. I chose Another One Bites the Dust because that was my first exposure to Queen at sleep-away camp in 1986.

You forgot Bicycle Race which is another fave of mine.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I think of Bicycle Race as being part of Fat Bottom Girls so that is why I forgot it. Ha!

Queen is awesome

[kevelyn63.livejournal.com]

It was impossible to choose, but I picked 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' because it's so groovy. And because it was huge when I was in High School and one day when I was in K-mart this funny guy named Scott from my high school sang some of it in the middle of the store & shimmied while he sang 'shakes all over like a jellyfish, and I like it!...'

But 'Death on Two Legs' - some of the best scathing insults evar!
* 'Was the fin on your back part of the deal?...'
* 'dog with disease, you're the king of the sleaze...'
ha!

Did I CHEAT by typing in "Killer Queen" AND voting for Bohemian Rhapsody? ;-P

[bertine.livejournal.com]

a little but that is ok. :P
