The full video, not this lyric video is one of the greatest and really iconic. This 1984 hit was massive EVERYWHERE but in the United States because it fell foul of the radio stations ( and MTV) not understanding what the video was about. It was NOT promoting 'unnatural behaviour' Street. It effectively killed Queen in the United States at that time. In the video, Freddie at the last minute decided to keep his famous moustache. Of the remaining members, Roger Taylor was very delighted to be the 'schoolgirl' Brian & John were encouraged to be the 'battleaxes'. Just having the lyric video removes the full impact of the video. The alternate part was Freddie performing with members of the English Royal Ballet. FREDDIE had a long association with the royal ballet including a memorable 1979 performance that merged rock music and ballet.
I agree.wasn't it John deacons girlfriend that suggested dressing up? Everyone assumes cause of Freddie's sexuallity that it was his idea.
@@sarablack2547 That is one of the stories, there are a few urban myths around the classic. I've taken what Brian has said in previous interviews and documentaries. Here in the UK, this Saturday on the BBC there is a 'Queen night' with a few programmes looking at classic performances and the centrepiece is a brand new documentary looking at Freddie's final days.
@@nichemphill8321 thanks NIC I noticed the programs I am a 🏴 living in South England so will prob watch With my hand on the remote incase I get overwhelmed with emotion.
It's ok @Sara Black I mentioned I was from the UK as I have been waiting for this night and the new documentary. Do you know about the youtube channel from Freddie's personal assistant PETER FREESTONE?
@@nichemphill8321 I do now🙂
I can't believe it's been 30 years without Freddie... I really miss him. Please try "I want it all", one of my personal favourites. Such a great song!
I said that to my Husban lastnight
so love Freddie ❤
Written by Brian May, oddly enough. A quip from his girlfriend. I understand he wrote "Who Wants To Live Forever" in the back of a cab. Must be nice.
Rite.... 30 yrs.... Crazy sad😥🎶 We Love n Miss Ya Freddie❤ n Queen🥰✌😎
That is unbelievable. Where does the time go??
@@KTRSTime-Space continuum my dear! It’s a trip isn’t it? Remember being a kid when it seemed to take forever for time to pass? 😢 Here we are at the other end! Sucks doesn’t it? ❤
Just to be clear, Freddie never came out publicly as gay until just before he died. Even though it was pretty obvious that he was as camp as a row tents. A lot people by default associate this song with his sexuality, when it’s really about someone who wants to leave a negative relationship. Also it’s important to point out that John Deacan wrote the song, not Freddie.
yes agree people just jumped to the conclusion that it was him saying he was guy and the video made people say that was the proof... 🙄 I love Freddie always wanted to see them
Freddie didn't hide himself away. He often went to gay clubs in the seventies and eighties, chatting with friends, and seeming completely relaxed. People left him alone, there were no star-chasers that I could see.
@@tonybennett4159 oh didnt he do that with Elton John a few times? i recall he 100% took out Princess Diana to a bunch of gay clubs after disguising her and she had a smashing good time, which was quite hilarious to hear. not everyone can imagine a time where stars could breath easy.
As far as I remember he came out as bi just before he died which surprised me. I had him pegged as full gay for years before that. In those days personal details about artists lives were hard to come by unless you read the gutter press.
He was bisexual
The dressing up wasn’t their idea, but they agreed to do it… now no man can vacuum without singing this song.
In an interview with Freddie about the band dressing up in drag for music video, Freddie said “they ran into their frocks as quick as anything”. Emphasising how much they all enjoyed it.
I recommend watching the extended The Great Pretender music video of Freddie’s cover version. There’s footage of Freddie and Roger Taylor doing their makeup and getting frocked up for the filming.
I thought it was Roger’s idea to dress in drag
I heard that this video, because they are all dressed in drag, lost them millions of American fans.
@@ilovefacebookandebayThat’s actually true, but my husband and I never got the point!! I remember saying, “It’s just a costume guys get over yourselves!” Keep in mind we also had the original Elton John at that point and when he came out we said, “Ah-huh! And nobody knew?” Drag wasn’t a big deal in our house so we really didn’t understand it! 😮
Hey btw I never knew that Jason Tatum does reaction videos during NBA off season 😂😂😂
For the ultimate Queen experience, listen to them Live at Live Aid. For my money, it’s the greatest 20 mins in rock n roll history
Absofuckingloooootly.
Absolutely! It always will be one of, if not the best, live 20 minutes in rock history!
It is known as that. One of the best sets of all time!
Greatest live performance in the history of all genres.
I’m so glad I was old enough to see the live TV airing of that! I didn’t know it then but I witnessed the best 20 min in music history! I also recorded the whole concert on VHS tapes (my brother and I took shifts) so we didn’t miss any of Live Aid performances. Then we got to watch it over and over again! Which back then wasn’t really much of a option.
“Killer Queen” “Radio Ga Ga” “Don’t Stop Me Now” RIP FREDDIE!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Need to check out Queen who wants to live forever it's my all time favorite Queen song. R.I.P. Freddie
So many great songs, but I think that may be my favorite too.
Especially if you remember how it was used in the movie Highlander.
The video for this 1984 song parodies a popular British television soap, . The opening sequence features all the band members in drag (Mercury as a housewife, Deacon as grandmother, Taylor as a schoolgirl, and May as a housewife). This confused many people who didn't catch the reference. Brian May was asked in an interview with magazine March 2011 whether each band member's character in the video was an accurate reflection of their personalities? He replied: "Of Course! Everybody thinks that was Freddie's idea because it looks like something that he would love to do but it actually came from Roger's girlfriend at the time, strangely enough. It was her idea to pastiche the women." Freddie was all set to shave off his trademark mustache for his turn as a woman in the video, but director David Mallet put a stop to it. He told the documentary series ditch the 'stache for a later segment in the video, where he is surrounded by the Royal Ballet in a nod to the French ballet and its clean-shaven Russian star Vaslav Nijinsky.
RIP FREDDIE, your genius will always be remembwred.
I remember being a kid and seeing the music vid for the first time, you've GOT to check out the proper music vid. R,I.P Freddie
I had never heard this song before. Love it. You have opened my eyes to more Queen. Love ya
What planet you people come from! I see many times famous artist and then, we don't know him//her. Really, most of the time i think it's not true.
Queen has so much range in Style, and is timeless. Queens' music will be played and used in the contemporary Music/Movie soundtracks decades more in the future down the road.
Not to mention commercials/advertisements!
If you haven't already, please react to Queens live aid set. Often said to be the greatest live performance ever.
This song was written by bassist John Deacon, who didn’t write a lot of songs but churned out some of Queen’s greatest hits such as, ‘I Want To Break Free’, ‘You’re My Best Friend’, and ‘Another One Bites The Dust’. Deacon’s songs tended to be heavily R&B influenced which Freddie had an appreciation for and enjoyed recording, performing and interpreting John’s music.
John wrote this at a time that he wasn't especially happy being in the band. I get why people guess that it has to do with Freddie, but it definitely does not.
PLEASE J & Amber, post a reply to "You're My Best Friend."
Yes, usually had a song on every album, and whether released as a single or not, John's were always very good songs.
@@JanS1 true, well said. I think it was that he was such a family man with a big family, he became rather tired of the endless touring and being away from home. Little did he and the others know, in 1984, that 1986 would be the end of their live/touring career.
John wrote some of the most recognisable 'anthems' of the band and is actually known to have written around 20
Would love to see you react to Barcelona by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe, guaranteed mind blown ..
Montserrat and Freddie first met in 1987 after mentioning he was a fan of hers in a 1986 interview. She was asked to help with the music for the opening ceremonies of the 1992 Summer Olympics and she picked Freddie for the task. He wrote the song and recorded a demo with overdubbed vocals singing both parts of the duet himself, using his falsetto range for the female parts. She learned her part by ear listening to Freddie's falsetto track, which was then replaced in the mix with her vocal track.
FREDDYS DEATH WAS AN INCREDIBLE LOSS ... TO ALL OF HUMANITY ... HE SO LOVED AND WAS LOVED!
Queen: "IT'S A KIND OF MAGIC".....you must hear this one guys!
How can you not like his music! Such a great artist!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 🧡🙏
Queen “Who Wants to Live Forever” with vocals by Brian May and Freddie. It is really captivating. Watch the official video version.
The Show Must Go On is is a must. It's a hauntingly beautiful song.
I've been watching your reaction videos for a couple of months now and I have a great deal of respect for both of you. You react to some amazing music, and today has been such a great tribute to Freddie Mercury. There will never be anyone like him, he was such an incredible performer with a voice beyond comprehension. The official video for this song is worth a watch, but you both owe it to yourselves to react to The Show Must Go On. On an unrelated note, I was really pleased when you guys reacted to Jeff Healey the other week. Another talent gone too soon. Keep up the great work guys, and much love.
Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Amber you look absolutely beautiful! We love queen, and Freddie Mercury has one of the most amazing voices that we'll ever hear.
Ooopsie - Should’ve done the official video but love that you’re honoring Freddie!!
The video parodies a British comedy show called Coronation Street. It was Roger’s girlfriend who got the idea 💡 to have our Queen boys dress in drag!
Freddie (housewife) 👠 Brian (irritating in-law or sibling) John (Grumpy Granny) 🛀 and Roger (school girl)… yes, school girl. 📚
Because of the absolute greatness of Freddie Mercury it's often lost that the drummer for KISS, the incomparable Eric Carr, died on the very same day after losing his battle with cancer. He was a legend as well. You should check out his drum solo with the song War Machine from Budokan Hall in Japan from 1988.
I knew that Eric also died that same day , unfortunately it doesn't get as much attention , Eric was extremely talented and a very nice person . 👍😥
I loved Queen and Freddie's voice from the first second I heard them in 1975. As I began my journey singing in bands Freddie was one of my biggest inspirations. One of the greatest vocalists of all time and one of the greatest showmen of all time.
This is one of my favorite Queen songs! Try "The Show Must Go On" next. You'll love it!
yes that is a Queen must hear!!!!
Agreed!
My favourite song of all time! It has been ever since Christmas 1991, when I got _Greatest Hits II_ on cassette - the first pop or rock music I ever owned. Ironically it was the huge increase in profile that Queen received as a result of Freddie's death that made me, aged 12, get interested in their music. As soon as I listened to the tape it was that song that stood out for me above all others. And I've still, genuinely, never found another that can top it.
YES!
"The Show Must Go On" is a must listen!!!!
Probably Queens most underrated song.
Check it out!!!!
YES!
the hooks in this song are still amazing - timeless - RIP Freddie, you are so missed today :-(
You should really listen to Millionaire's Waltz. It's genius and Freddie's voice and Brian's incredible guitar work are not to be missed!
Your goal is completed every time i watch your videos i smile. Thank you you're appreciated too i noticed a bandage on your right hand i hope you're alright amber. If you like this song you'll love we will rock you,another one bites the dust,princes of the universe,we're the champions,one vision,and hammer to fall.
A great John Deacon number. As Freddie said in an interview, this has nothing to do with what he described as ‘the whole gay thing. It’s about someone who’s not happy in life and wants to break free from his troubles’. Shame you didn’t react to the original music video where the whole band are dressed in drag as British soap characters.
I never thought it was a gay thing. It was pretty obvious to me that it was about escaping the drudgery of life.
I love the official video and song!!!!! Knew u would too! This lyric one doesn’t show you their humor but it still is awesome!
Always loved this song. A good one to sing when you feel tethered by anything in life. He made it for himself and everyone, absolute banger!
You should hear "The Show Must Go On," which, if not his last song, it was close to it. "Who Wants to Live Forever," and "One Year of Love," from the "Highlander" film are also a direction change for Queen as well. The whole "It's A Kind of Magic" album has some great things too.
It was the last song they recorded according to Brian May.
John Deacon wrote this about his wife and they are still together too. RIP sweet Freddie 💛💛👑👑
I thought You're My Best Friend was the one he wrote for her, unless he wrote more than one song for her?
@@sadfaery He did write both for her, true love still together.
Queen did the music for the movie 'Highlander' (Christopher Lambert starred with Sean Connery).
Try Princes of the Universe and Who Wants To Live Forever.
They also did Flash from the early 80s amazing soundtrack!! ✌🏼
Ah yes ' who wants to live forever' is A1!!
I just watched Highlander last night! Great movie, great soundtrack!
The soundtrack to HIGHLANDER was my introduction to Queen, and I’ve been a fan ever since. I also appreciate the high camp of their other soundtrack album FLASH GORDON.
If you loved Bohemian Rhapsody then you should listen to Innuendo,one of Queens most powerful and well put together songs,it has everything and you wont be disappointed ...💥 ITS A BANGER 💥
Yesssss Innuendo 🔥 masterpiece!
RIP Freddie! If I'm not mistaken this song was written by Roger Taylor and it wasn't about Freddie's sexuality. It had more to do with British humor. It was too risqué for Americans and they didn't really get the humor, unfortunately. What a great song! I have to once again request that you listen to Freddie and Montserrat Caballé - Barcelona. I promise, you'll be blown away.
It was written by John Deacon and it was about feminism and womens rights, but it was Roger Taylors girlfriend who came up with the idea of them all dressing up as women. They were trying to take of Coronation Street of I remember rightly
Radio Ga Ga, Killer Queen, Somebody to Love…so many more!! Cant go wrong with Queen.
I love you guys. I love Queen. I love that you love Queen, too. Please react to one of Freddy's (almost) swan songs, "These Are The Days Of Our Lives." He and his mates recorded it after he became ill, and knew he would pass soon. The song and video are so poignant, and Freddy's voice is as beautiful as it ever was. I'm telling ya, it's impossible to listen to it to the end with a dry eye.
This is why Freddie Mercury is a LEGEND he could sing anything, best frontman ever. It's great that the younger generation is listening to the songs I grew up with and enjoyed. I listen to I Want To Break Free everyday but I watch the 1886 live from Wembley the bass player John Deacon is incredible. Please watch or listen to One Year of Love by Queen it's a beautiful song written by John Deacon and Freddie's voice is amazing. I know you will love it because this Queen song has horns and was on the movie Highlander.n
He was PHENOMENAL in Concert!!! I’m a lucky person to have Queen in Concert!!!!… late 70’s👍👍❤️❤️❤️
I have been a Queen fan from the time they released their first album. I am a citizen of the U.S. and saw the picture of them in one of my albums before I watched the Official Video. I loved it when I first saw it. I loved the video even more and it is a very significant video. I suppose if you are a Queen fan it is natural to love this one.John Deacon wrote the song and it was Roger Taylor's idea to do the official video. It was done as a spoof on a UK soap opera show. I adore this one. Elements of this video are seen in The Show must Go On that are important. Such as when Freddie closes the closet door. I find that significant. A beautiful song and video.
You should react to their Live Aid performance from 1985. It is considered the greatest live performance in rock. It's only 22 minutes and it will blow you away
Always loved this song. I still get emotional listening to this.
Rip to a great Singer Freddie Mercury we still miss you
For many the best singer/performer of all time!
“These Are The Days Of Our Lives” ( Official Video).
Thanks for Honoring the great Freddie mercury. RIP We love you Freddie
Every Queen song is like an Anthem, so badass, so inspirational, emotional.
Oh man I can't believe I didn't realize today is November 24th the anniversary of Freddie's passing. My life forever changed this day in 1992. The first time I saw Queen was in 1978 and I was 13 years old and that was a life-changing concert as well. I've been biggest queen fan ever since then. They've inspired me to play guitar, write music and not just musically but lyrically as well. To me Queen wasn't just a rock band that I love, Queen was a way of life for me. Thank you guys for doing this special tribute Freddie. rest in peace dear Freddie you're the best! 🎤🎹❤️
We miss you Freddie! I still love you! Queen was my first two 45s bought in the mid 70s
I worked with my sister for a few hours during the summer. I got home just in time to see them doing Live Aid on TV. Amazing!! They stole the show!
Queen is amazing, you should listen to Freddie and Montserrat singing "Barcelona"
This is my favorite queen song!!
Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️
You really need to watch more live performances. Live aid (20 minutes long) would be a good starting point but there are so many amazing live Queen performances.
I remember when this song first came out! I was around 8 years old, and I sat near my parents record player playing the air guitar! That is when I first fell in love with music! I knew what I was meant to do! Almost 40 years ago, and I remember that moment as a life changer! I do not care about Freddy Mercury's life style, not my business, but I just remember this man's natural talent. Thanks Freddy, for all of the music! Thank you bot for the amazing reaction! You are both so young! I wish that you could go back in time and hear what I heard. It is not the same.
Be prepared as his voice is an addiction ! So much to.explore with Queen. I highly recommend.who wants to live forever and the show must go on!
Awww this song, a timeless classic and one of my all time favourites. Another great video guys.
I’ve been watching so many of your videos and you are definitely now my favourite reaction channel. Your passion for music, the diversity of what you listen to, your acceptance of different people, you’re respect for each other. All wonderful. Thank you. Cx
The full video was great and funny and goes with name of the group!
I would recommend "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "You're My Best Friend" or "One Vision".
Today is my birthday and I am sad but happy to say that Freddie's Mum lived near me in Nottingham UK xxx
Another great reaction. Love all your reactions. Keep up the great work. R.I.P Freddie Mercury ♥
“Love me like there’s no tomorrow” is a solo song from Freddie and is such an emotional song considering his backstory
The show must go on best Queen song ever!!!!
Love all the Queen today! RIP Freddie.
The music video is really something. You guys should watch it.Great reaction. RIP Freddie. Miss you Mr Farenheit.
They did tested on vocalists, Freddie was on list and they found that his voice is perfect pitch for the human ear. That’s why majority of people love his voice right off the bat. Then add the talent and well, just the man and you have the greatest voice!
You really should watch the actual video for this song, it's amazing, and was hugely controversial for it's time.
These reactions are so amazing and I love how much you LOVE Freddie, but it would be great to hear some recognition for the other members of the band too! This song was written by John Deacon, the bass player. Roger Taylor is an amazing drummer and his vocal talent is nearly as immense as Freddie's. And Brian May is one of rock's greatest guitar players.
Freddie is iconic, and he was always adamant that Queen was first and foremost a collaborative effort. ❤
Man has it already been Thirty years! I remember seeing them back in high school ! We will Rock You and We are the champions!
How can't you love Freddie?? insanely talented & sooooo unique 🤘🎶🎸🤘🎶🎸🤘🎶🎸I'd love to see you react to one vision & the show must go on 🤘🤘 even now the music is still awesome 🎸🎶🔥🎸🎶🔥 hope you & family are safe & well, lotsa 💖💖 from 🇳🇿🇳🇿
Another classic Queen song!
OMGosh Amber your hair is beautiful. I'm totally jealous!! Cheers
" theres something about him ".... yep. Love
Thank you for being kind people.
Shout out to John Deacon who wrote some of the best songs! Freddie loved him
He was and still is, the best front man of any group. Rip Freddie Mercury
Freddie is and was the best there ever was. There will never be another freddie. Please listen to these are the days of our lives. You'll love that song
This is IMO is the best base line I have ever heard. Some kind of Magic is one of my favorite Queen songs.
I remember coming in after one in the morning just recently got a sky satellite..tune into sky news and was all about Freddie Mercury passing away. Couldn't believe it. RIP Freddie.
Another beautiful song!
Yes!!! One of my favourites.
Queen playing at Live Aid 1984 at Wembley. Best live show by anyone, ever
I don't know if you've seen any of Queen's live performances (Live Aid, etc.), but that's where Freddie's charisma shines. He steps on the stage and he owns the crowd.
My heart sings when ppl love this.
You can hear both the strength and pain in his voice.
Hope both of you and your family have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving
Hey RSR Fam...RIP Freddie...Love the hat J...An amazing Artist, Brilliant Entertainer, wonderful man...He is truly missed...Thank you for reaction, Happy Thanksgiving...Blessings
Such a fun song and crazy fun video! Amber you are looking fabulous! Loving the hair
Love this one..so different love the synths used in the background
Thank you for honoring Freddie. Now I gotta get my vintage Vikings hat on to watch with ya. This song was written by John Deacon loosely based on Coronation Street and housewives who want to break free. Wish u could watch the official video with the guys in drag... Roger Taylor's idea btw.
Queen always makes me so happy. love Freddy so much too
Still hard to believe it's been 30 year's since we lost Freddie Mercury I still miss him 😢
All time fav Queen song!
Thank u..... Love this song n video🥰 Grew up w these Music Genius's😎 Loved them since the 70's✌❤
You need to watch the original video it's so iconic with who Queen is as a group and Freddie as a person
I'd listen to Barcelona also, one of the best rock and opera duets ever
JRR Tolkien (Lord Of The Rings author) talked about applicability vs allegory. He dislike the latter, often because it felt manipulative and lazy, but almost all good stories are applicable in that people will find their own meanings in them. I don't think this song directly referred to anything, but many people inferred their own meanings in to it
Rock on Freddie, RIP.
