Song of the Day
"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, from A Night at the Opera, 5 live albums, 3 greatest hits albums, and who knows how many "rock classics" or "best of the 70s" albums.
This is the song against which all others are judged and fall short.
I remember seeing this video on late night TV way back when, but I don't remember what program. MTV didn't start until a few years later.
My love affair with Queen started with this song. I bought the 45--trying to choose between "Bohemian Rhapsody" and another song, possibly "All By Myself". I chose "Bohemian Rhapsody" because, being longer, it seemed like a better deal.
Check out the Wikipedia page--it's fascinating.
