Liar!
From the 1st album!

Headlong from the last Queen(w/Freddie) album, "Innuendo"

Bohemian Rhapsody

Like Randi's karaoke of "Killer Queen"

"Crazy little thing" bops as well as anything with an early rock sound.

Freddy excels in "We are the Champions"


Freddy Mercury has one of the best set of pipes in the history of recorded music. Definitely the best Zoroastrian Persian singer I've ever heard.

Lyrics

Oooh
The machine of a dream, such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumpin', and the hubcaps all gleam
When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
With my hand on your grease gun
Mmm it's like a disease son
I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Told my girl I'll have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburettor
So she made tracks saying this is the end now
Cars don't talk back they're just four wheeled friends now

When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruisin' in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive

I'm in love with my car (love with my car), gotta feel for my automobile
I'm in love with my car (love with my car), string back gloves in my automolove

But seriously folks...

Lyrics
Ooh, you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you, you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live

Oh, you're the best friend
That I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
(Ooh) Oh, you're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live

Ooh, I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you (still come back to you)
In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home (happy at home)
You're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you, to help me forgive - oo oo ooh
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live

Oh, you're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the thing
I really love the things that you do
Oh, you're my best friend

Oh, ooh, you make me live

I'm happy (happy at home)

Lyrics

Can anybody find me somebody to love
Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself) Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry)
Lord what you're doing to me (yeah yeah)
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love ?

Yeah
I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I work till I ache in my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord somebody (somebody), ooh somebody
(Please) Can anybody find me somebody to love ?

(He works hard)
Everyday (everyday) - I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Ah, got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe in
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord
Ooh somebody - ooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love ?
(Can anybody find me someone to love)

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (You just keep losing and losing)
I'm OK, I'm alright (he's alright - he's alright)
I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah yeah)
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day (someday) I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love love love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love somebody somebody somebody somebody
Somebody find me
Somebody find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love ?


(Find me somebody to love)
Ooh
(Find me somebody to love)
Find me somebody, somebody (find me somebody to love) somebody, somebody to love
(Find me somebody to love)
Find me, find me, find me, find me, find me
Ooh - somebody to love
(Find me somebody to love)
Ooh
(Find me somebody to love)
Find me, find me, find me somebody to love
(Find me somebody to love)
Anybody, anywhere, anybody find me somebody to love love love!
Wooo somebody find me, find me love.

Looks like we're in the same boat!

I don't think we're alone.

"Death on Two Legs (dedicated to ...)"

"Radio Ga Ga" (Live Aid version). Freddie had that audience in the palm of his hand. Bless his heart.

We will Rock You which ties into Bohemian Rhapsody

'39
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q1yyoe377k

In the year of thirty-nine
Assembled here the volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day
Sailed across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back never feared never cried

Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grand-children knew

In the year of thirty-nine
Came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news
Of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey
little darlin' we'll away
But my love this cannot be
Oh so many years have gone
Though i'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me

Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grand-children knew

Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
For my life, still ahead, pity me.

This song first appealed to me just because of the sound of it. Have always been a big fan of Queen, but unlike most fans I was always more impressed with Brian May than Freddie Mercury, though it is a close call on that one. But after learning about what the song means I have been even more enamored with it, being a sci-fi fan and all. Also important to note this is the 39th song Queen recorded. Here's a clip from Wiki to explain the lyrics.

It's a science fiction story. It's the story about someone who goes away and leaves his family and... because of the time dilation effect, when you go away, the people on Earth have aged a lot more than he has when he comes home. He's aged a year and they've aged 100 years. So, instead of coming back to his wife, he comes back to his daughter and he can see his wife in his daughter... a strange story. I think, also, I had in mind a story of Herman Hesse, which I think is called "The River". A man leaves his hometown and has lots of travels and then comes back and observes his hometown from the other side of the river. He sees it in a different light, having been away and experienced all those different things. He sees it in a very illuminating way, 'cause I felt a little bit like that about my home at the time as well, having been away and seen this vastly different world of rock music... totally different from the way I was brought up, and I had those feelings about home. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/'39

But for all the Freddie fans here's a fun video I found of Freddie horsing around while John Lennon plays "Imagine" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A_GRuxXO_M...feature=related

And more seriously, John and Freddie combined in this Imagine/Play the Game mix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx-hyT2Uhxo...feature=related

1. Crazy Little Thing Called Love
2. Another One Bites the Dust
3. Radio GaGa
4. Under Pressure
5. I want to break free (the video alone is worth watching!)

Loved Freddie. Wish he was still with us. I can listen to Queen for hours and never get bored because even though the sound of Queen was so distinctive, every song was unique.

Another One Bites The Dust!! It's my favorite ta sing everytime a repuker goes down for the count!!

It's hard to say who my fave rocker was on Queen - astrophysicist Dr. Brian May, one of the most amazing guitarists ever, or the the hero pipes of Freddie, and his extraordinary ear for rhythm and precision of the sung voice.

Beware, though - there are hidden Middle-Eastern phrases in Bohemian Rhapsody that will rot your patriotism! (e.g. Bismillah - "by Al'lah').

"Crazy Little Thing"

That song made Ella Enchanted for me:
Ella Enchanted version

I like listening to "Don't Stop Me Now" whenever I'm feeling particularly energetic.

Other than that my favorites are the typical from them, and Sheer Heart Attack.

Toughie. I think it has to be "Bohemian Rhapsody." Not just because of Wayne's World.

Then again, there's always "Under Pressure."

Under Pressure

Sheer Heart Attack

This isn't exactly my favorite but it's one the group I sing with does.

This would have to be my favorite though.

"Queen Who Wants To Live Forever"
by Queen

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
from us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?

There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?

Who dares to love forever?
When love must die

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today

Who waits forever anyway?

Freddie Mercury was a consummate showman. I love the irony of this and the previous song I posted. Even after death he continues to entertain us.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=4ADh8Fs3YdU


Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score..
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero - another mindless crime.
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime.
Hold the line!
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
The Show must go on!
The Show must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile, still, stays on!

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.
Another heartache - another failed romance.
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess i'm learning
I must be warmer now..
I'll soon be turning round the corner now.
Outside the dawn is breaking,
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!

The Show must go on!
The Show must go on! Yeah!
Ooh! Inside my heart is breaking!
My make-up may be flaking!
But my smile, still, stays on!
Yeah! oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die,
I can fly, my friends!

The Show must go on! Yeah!
The Show must go on!
I'll face it with a grin!
I'm never giving in!
On with the show!

I'll top the bill!
I'll overkill!
I have to find the will to carry on!
On with the,
On with the show!

Killer Queen, because that's the first Queen song I ever heard at age 10.

She keeps Moet et Chandon
In a pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

Chorus:
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, Gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris
for cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise


Chorus


Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's out to get you


Chorus

Recommended at the price
Insatiable in appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try.

"Killer Queen." Nothing takes me back to the 70s like that.

And don't forget one of our most enduring arena chants:
WE WILL
WE WILL
ROCK YOU!

Wrong video.

Should have been this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdUKi3_QntE&NR=1

Brought up alot of good ones.

1. Killer Queen
2. Best Friend
3. Bohemian Rhapsody

Had to add this one:

It's Late

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9THD1pHDVg8...feature=related

Then there's Tie Your Mother Down and....maybe they should play that at convention!
