I just heard this song for the first time, and MAN is it a good song. I laughed so hard when I heard:
"...big, fat Fanny... was such a naughty nanny..."
but the song is freaking sweet, too. I went out and bought a Queen CD just because of this song.

The song is alright. Kind of strange since their lead singer is majorly homosexual. Their best song, IMO, is Bicycle Race. Bohemian Rhapsody is pretty good as well (as well as most of the A Night At The Opera CD, if you can find it). _________________

I'm a big fan of the Flash Gordon soundtrack myself.
Also 'We Are the Champions', 'We Will Rock You', 'Under Pressure' (possibly one of the most sampled songs, ever), and 'Who Wants to Live Forever'.
Freddy Mercury was a musical genius ahead of his time.
If you like the general sound of Queen, you might also enjoy The Darkness (I Believe in a Thing Called Love). _________________ "SUPERMAN HATES MILK WITH THE FIERY INTENSITY OF A THOUSAND SUNS!"

Not sure what CD you picked up, but Greatest Hits 1 & 2 are super collections. I'm not very partial to 3, because it's loaded with covers by other people.
Freddie Mercury could sing the hell out of anything. You get a taste of that in the GH collections - he was really amazing. _________________ "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be." - Douglas Adams |

Agreed. Freddie's voice gave so much to the band that it's incredible. I heard "I'm in love with my car", sung by someone else, and I didn't like it nearly as much as ANY of the other songs... sung by Freddie.
Freddie Mercury had an amazing set of pipes. _________________ The official MILF-masta of the AlP forums.

One of my great favorites is actually "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." It has that kind of '50s feel going on, and it's a chance for him to just purely sing. Great stuff. Probably my second favorite is clear on the other end of the spectrum: "Play the Game." Waaaaay cheesy-'80s on the swoopy synths, but once again, what a voice. That song still sends chills right up my back.
If there's a rock vocalist I think comes a close second for being able to sing just about anything, it's Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company, The Firm), so I want to get my mitts on some of his stuff he'll be up to with Queen's surviving members. Musical irony is rarely so sweet. Grab a copy of The Firm doing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling." Oooooh, man. And just to prove to Simon that I'm ancient, "Rock and Roll Fantasy" was the first single I ever bought with my little-kid allowance. Or there's "Satisfaction Guaranteed," (also with The Firm) which is one of the sexiest songs I can think of not sung by Barry White. My guy swears we'll dance to that at our wedding, once he shanghais me to the altar.

on my iPod, I made a playlist of my favorite songs, Queen's best are the first ones on there. In no particular order:
We are the Champions
Another Bites the Dust
Bicycle Race
Bohemian Rhapsody
(I've heard this song almost too much. If I'm singing along to this, and I leave the room and come back (still singing), I will still be in sync with it.)
Killer Queen might be the most underrated queen song ever. Lyrics are the best of ANY Queen song.
Hammer to Fall Really has some subtle Commie hating lyrics.

This song HAS you now. For the rest of your life, even if you never intentionally listen to it again, it owns a piece of your soul and a chunk of your brain that will never, ever forget the words.
I thought Wayne's World was largely an idiotic movie, but the car scene just about killed me laughing as i sat there remembering the many times I did that. _________________ "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be." - Douglas Adams |

Urk! QUEEN!
I adore Queen! Poor Freddie! *sniffles* He was a magnificent showman, and the band were quite a legacy, even if some of their sonmgs were a little... odd. But then again, arent geniuses allowed to be eccentric?
In my opinion, you cant forget a Queen song - especially ones like Bohemian Rhapsody. It just gets into your mind, until you know it like you know your own face. Some of their songs are sadder, though. take "Save me" for example.  |

i love 'fat bottomed girls'! my favourite Queen song. it's so simple and straightforward, pure in-your-face rock'n'roll, without all this theatrical mumbo jumbo that they often liked to indulge in.
and i'm not flaming Queen, i have great respect for them, sometimes they just got too overblown to my taste.
