    Just realized that every song on A Day at the Race is a sequel to a song on A Night at the Opera.
    Bohemian Rhapsody = Somebody to Love (Operatic, large choir, complex, by Freddie)
    You're My Best Friend = You and I (Sweet songs by John)
    '39 = Long Away (Space song by Brian, poignant)
    Sweet Lady = Tie Your Mother Down (Hard rock by Brian)
    Seaside Rendezvous = Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy (piano based, romantic request to a lover, by Freddie)
    Death on Two Legs = Tie Your Mother Down (Vicious, angry, Freddie said Brian was trying to outdo in viciousness him on this one.)
    The Prophet's Song = White Man (Epic, moral warning, ancient sounding melodies)
    Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon = The Millionaire Waltz (Operetta, vaudeville, by Freddie, piano based.)
    I'm In Love With My Car = Drowse (Hard rock by Roger)
    Love of My Life = You Take My Breath Away (Sad, quiet, romantic, piano based, by Freddie.
    Good Company = Teo Torriate (Instrumentally different, but both by Brian and both with similar nostalgic/ romantic themes and use of non -traditional instruments e.g. ukulele, plastic piano.
    God Save the Queen is a cover and thus does not count.
    Isn't is genius?

      Don't think so: Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen, We will rock You, We are the Champions, Bicycle Race, Don't stop me now... all 70's and famous until today. Just take any one song from the Live Killers Tour, all masterpieces and most of them well known in their day over the radio. Freddie, in his stage alter ego disguise, was a brilliant singer, player and also showman at least by the end of the 70's. Live Killers just swept me away with its power, even without video.

I flipped it over, dropped the needle and then dropped myself. I was blown away when death on two legs started. I thought “holy hell!” I didn’t know what he was going on about but knew he was pissed. I was hooked solid after that. The best rock album ever

    Death on two legs
    You've never had a heart of your own
    Kill joy bad guy big talking small fry
    You're just an old barrow boy
    Have you found a new toy to replace me?
    Can you face me?
    But now you can kiss my *** goodbye
    Feel good are you satisfied?
    Do you feel like suicide?
    (I think you should)
    Is your conscience all right
    Does it plague you at night?
    Do you feel good feel good?
