- Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor. "Radio Ga Ga" so summed up how ga ga I felt about Queen and growing up with them playing on the radio. In the beginning, Chris M. was chatting with my brother after we picked him up on our way to high school. He said that Queen "You're My Best Friend" was his favorite song and that the band had a "wicked guitarist". I already knew about "Keep Yourself Alive" which I heard on the RIF, that is "WRIF" Rock 101 in Detroit, Michigan. We kids started playing Queen, and our parents got into them too! We played the hell out of A Night At The Opera and at ages 12-15 were singing along to "Bohemian Rhapsody" in terrible voices but enjoying the hell out of being young. The elaborate artwork was done by Freddie, and the album covers were just as exciting as the sounds they enveloped. In 1979, they made forays into an urban style of music on "The Game" that landed them two unforgettable #1 hits, "Another One Bites The Dust" and the Elvis'y "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". "The Game" was the first album they did using synthesizers which was not a disappointment but more of an achievement. "Under Pressure" comes to mind, that one off song with Bowie should have been a bigger hit than the #29 peak it reached in 1981. Using Giorgio Moroder protege Mack, they continued on in an urban style with "Body Language". The experimental sound was highly polished and Freddie was in top form, but this was the first time that the sound seemed more important than the vocals, and as a result was not as readily accepted by the record buying public. In between studio albums, they composed and performed the music for the "Flash Gordon" movie. The next studio album was "Hot Space" in 1982 and only one song charted, "Calling All Girls" that peaked at #60. I moved to Toronto in 1983, and while wandering at all the record stores up and down Yonge St, I heard a woman say, "Queen is back, Radio GOO GOO!" The next store I stopped in, I picked up the 12" version of Radio Ga Ga, and it has been with me ever since. The unforgettable video for "I Want To Break Free" put them in radical drag and introduced them to a new generation of Queen fans. I was thinking about Freddie today, how I watched his physical decline and how it broke my heart to see his suffering, but he held his head high in spite of his illness and soldiered on, not accepting the stigma. I knew, and it did not need to be said. He finally admitted to the public that he had AIDS, then died the next day which was November 24, 1991. I was desolate, I had seen friends of mine go the same way, and I wonder how I did not lose my mind watching their youth and vibrance fade and wither away right before my eyes. Queen's amazing visual and musical artistry will always be remembered and unequalled. "Radio Ga Ga" is a valentine to all of those who loved Queen, from Queen and while February is a long way off, I just could not hold on to this version until then, so here is my early valentine to you!

Queen has to be one of the most intellectual (from a formal education standpoint) bands ever assembled. Freddie had a degree in graphic art and design; Roger Taylor has a bachelor's degree in biology (and had designs on being a dentist); John Deacon has a First Class Honours degree in Electronics; and then there's Brian May, who had a bachelor's in physics at the time he joined the band, and subsequently earned a PhD in astrophysics years later.
They weren't Spinal Tap precisely
A sad day back in 1991, we lost our beloved Freddie. This is dedicated to him.......Freddie, someone still loves you.
For real. Who the hell else could sing like him? As far as wailing goes he's on a very short list: Robert Plant, Steven Tyler. Thank God we are blessed to able to hear this timeless legendary group and lead singer. Q4EVER!

+DJDiscoCatV2 Oh yes. A very bad day. He had so much to give still, but cut short so soon. Will you do any other Queen remixes? I know, hard to pick which one.
Fantastic band...not just a singer.
i NEED bigger speakers , not because i'm 50 and going deaf ...this song deserves it !
The best voice ever!! Freddie Mercury ❤❤❤❤
Queen y su Radio gaga, ha pasado por muchas versiones, cae tan bien muchas de ellas por que la canción original es tan perfecta, y esta versión es un digno ejemplo!!! 🤧
Let’s face it - the original Radio Ga Ga track was far too short. This mix has given us an extended version, and not before time! Well done.
WOW...91 we lost him...I really don't remember that far back, 63 yrs now and it sucks
Freddie would be SO proud!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly (radio)
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you
We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around 'cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Someone still loves you
Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)

Freddie la ballerebbe
Freddie is loving this version in Heaven.
Love how this music survives & thrives in today's world of crap music.
It shows how timeless Queen's music really is.
Agree fully bro. Love seeing 80's music still going strong after 40 years.
1980s : Queen, Freddy, The Police, Pink Floyd, KC and Sunshine Band, Kool and the Gang, Chic etc
Today : Jlo, Kanye West, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Britney Spears, Shakira', .......any more comments needed ?
Freddie would def. approve of this! I love it!
Im sure Freddie would approve
I'm not sure if he actually said it, but it's said that he once said
'Do what you want to music, just never make me boring.'
The piano that song and the guitar solo at the end are striking.
I've always loved the guitar solo of this song... Simple but powerful.
how many here sat up at night listening to the top 10 on the radio with their finger on the cassette deck record button just waiting for the dj to intro the song you wanted ... this song was one of them . thanks for the memories. yes i just watched bohemian rhapsody too!
Love love love this 💕💕💕

+Mikey_Suze Four My dad was a man in his 40s and not into modern pop music, but this song caught his fancy and would sing it to my toddler sister. It was their song.
That's a cool story @Tin Cup and sorry for the late reply (6 mos.)//I felt really bad when realizing that this was one of Freddie's last songs before he passed.
fantastic & magic

Find an artist or band in 2020 not many that could equal this epic song Answer NO ONE.
O defeito é não ter no spotify mesmo! Queroo
I don't know if it was mentioned here are not? But this song was what inspired Lady Ga Ga to take that name.
Queen é ótimo
Queen nunca fue de mi agrado pero ésta canción desde que la escuche, causo algo especial en mi espíritu, una emoción muy grande ,tal vez la letra o el contenido no es significativo pero la melodía es lo que captura nuestra mente y alma, gracias.
Coincido contigo, tampoco es de lo que quiera tener en mi discografía, pero esta melodía es especial, y hay que reconocer que voces como la de Freddie Mercury sólo se dan una vez en la vida, y yo respeto mucho eso.
Que buen Mix la verdad Queen mis respetos
Love It
