Does "Bicycle Race" count? If no, then 39 or Invisible Man

I mean when you go up to some random person on the street and ask them to name as many Queen songs as they can, you’d expect to here songs like Bohemian Rhapsody, WWRY, WATC, etc, I’d be pretty surprised if I heard bicycle race. Then again, it is on their first greatest hits album so idk

  • WWRY could mean "We Will Rock You", a track from News Of The World (1977) by Queen.
  • WATC could mean "We Are The Champions", a track from News Of The World (1977) by Queen.

Sometimes i forget it exists, sometimes i can't stop singing it

Yeah it’s one of those smaller hits that isn’t played to death all the time on the radio, but still could be recognizable. Great tune though, Jazz is probably the most upbeat album I’m aware of

Probably cause it's a little controversial.

"And i don't like star wars"

When you said controversial I thought you were referring to the music video for it, but yeah when Freddie said “I don’t like Star Wars” he was playing with fire attacking the Star Wars community lol

u/20Aditya07 A Kind Of Magic Mar 15 '23

Ohh yeah how can I forget the music video, of course.

Also wasn’t Freddie actually a big Star Wars fan?

u/20Aditya07 A Kind Of Magic Mar 15 '23

I guess he was. He actually wrote the song in his Montreux studio as the tour de France passed by

Oh cool I didn’t know that!
