I posted a question, yesterday, about how emotional/sentimental that I’ve been this past week ;), and, today, would have been Freddie’s birthday. I grew up the youngest of 4 kids. I’m 39, my two brothers are 47 and 48, and my sister is 50. I remember them playing Queen a whole helluva lot. My brothers both saw Queen perform back in the day, and they said that there was no one like Freddie. They were left gobsmacked.
If you haven’t seen it, check out Google’s tribute to Freddie.
And, here. (I’ve listened to this a good 5 or 6 times this morning).

Dragon Attack. Not as popular as Bohemian Rhapsody, which is a classic and another great one, but still a great song.
I love Queen! This is my favorite song by them.
I sing this in the shower so I don’t have to dodge bullets in the car :)
I remember this album cover.
@Jude THAT ALBUM COVER FRIGHTENS ME!
This reminds me of my chiropractor. XD
I love this video.
I remember rollerskating to this at “Skate Park” back in the 80’s. A red rabbit’s foot attached to my rollers skates. I did the white-girl overbite on rollerskates. I looked awesome. ;)
Jude—I posted the wrong link!!
# I am still laughing about that one!
LMFAO, read the song titles for this one.
There was only one Freddie!!! God bless.
@Jude LMAO! I would love to hear Ethel Merman sing a few
My favorite is “Another one bites the dust”. Story of my life.
I love Queen.
Totally unrelated, but, i love this song. Sappy-jennay, day 7. I saw Juice when I was 10. I saw her in her tour bus making a peanut butter sandwich. :)
Princes of the Universe— the song really does reflect Freddie himself.
RIP Freddie….he was amazing!
@uberbatman Oh! I forgot Under Pressure. That will probably be my first choice. Sorry to copy from you.
The first family car I got to drive only had a cassette player (I know, stone age, right?) I had my parents’ cases of tapes and literally wore out all of the Queen cassettes. Ageless, timeless, out of mindless… I adore every single song! Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy is still one of my favorites.
Whoa… what the hell. The Freddy Mercury tribute isnt on google.com just google.ca . Lame. Its not even like they have somethin for Labor Day instead just a lil flag at the bottom.
I love Bohemian Rhapsody, but I am surprised Your My Best Friend hasn’t gotten a mention yet.
I saw Queen 2 or 3 times in concert. Freddie was incredible.
Queen was AWESOME period! Rest in peace Freddie. I love you!
My favs. are:
Bohemian Rhapsody
Killer Queen and Crazy little thing called love.
Yep, 70’s girl here, and, I sing “Killer Queen” to my cat all the time, only I change the lyrics a bit….
“She’s a killer queen, dynamite with her killer claws, garuanteed to blow that mousies mi-iiiind….
‘39 from Night at the Opera is my favourite even though Freddie didn’t sing it. I also love Fat Bottomed Girls, Another One Bites The Dust, Killer Queen and I Want It All.
‘Under Pressure’ with David Bowie. A little cliche, yes, but it’s Queen with David Bowie.
I love, love, love Queen! I discovered them after Freddie Mercury died, and I was so sad.
Happy birthday, Freddie! You are one of a kind and irreplaceable.
My favorites? Probably “You’re My Best Friend” and Bohemian Rhapsody, but I love all of the other songs mentioned in this thread.
Here is my Queen prescription for my fellow Flutherites: Get Down, Make Love. Do it for Freddie!
@filmfann dang! I thought that was mentioned, but a recheck told me no.
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I’m ok, I’m alright
Ain’t gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I’m gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
You’re both wrong actually. Its the second answer :)
I thought I had seen it. I was behind a “this” link
@rebbel Thanks for posting that link. That is a Queen song that I had never heard.
