Queen brought something to us that can't be duplicated.... Freddie❤ Hope y'all have an amazing Thanksgiving. Stay safe 🙏 ❤ Much love from Miami Oklahoma
I was a Met Police Officer. After his death, I checked in on his parents a number of times and stood in their lounge chatting and making sure the press were not harassing them. They lived in a simple terraced house in Feltham. Lovely, humble couple. His funeral was to be held at a secret location. We spent the night duty plotting where occupied cars were knowing they would be the press with the intention of following the parents car to the secret location. When it came time for the parents to be taken to the funeral, we had vehicles parked up at key junctions. As the parents car passed those junctions, one of our vehicles blocked other vehicles to stop the press following. I'm proud to say I was one of them. They also had a police escort to the edge of our area where another car would take over True story with no embellishment or exaggeration.
A bit late here - but thank you for that - and thank you for being a part of giving Freddie's family and friends the dignity and respect they needed in the face of interference from the more horrendous tabloid leeches at the time. I swear, I hate the press in this country - it's always been a scourge and a detriment to society. In an ideal world, I'd stop them at the source, they have spent decades sewing distrust and division, in order to make money. They have ruined this country and will be first against the wall when the revolution comes.
As a fat-bottomed girl myself, I can attest, I'm responsible for at least a tiny portion of making the rockin' world go round. At least, that's what I tell myself.
Fat Bottomed Girls was released as a double A-side along with Bicycle Race. The lyrics of the song contain the text line “Get on your bikes and ride”, a clear reference to the other A-side. Bicycle Race has the text “Fat bottomed girls, they'll be riding today, so look out for those beauties, oh yeah” which refers back again.
A lot of radio stations that play Fat Bottomed Girls play Bicycle Race right after. Like a lot of them do with We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions.
@@JerryEakle On the LP, We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions literally run directly into each other, with no gap between at all, as though they're a single song. 👍🏻
Brian May wrote this song. I feel compelled to give him a shout out as I’ve noticed ever since the movie, the other three members of Queen have been practically marginalized. The band was NOT perceived as being one guy back in the 70s. This is a case of history being rewritten in the public narrative
@@AnEnquiringMind Great point. Even Mick Jagger had much more solo success (She’s The Boss) in the US than Freddie (Which is no slight against Freddie personally, the music business is unpredictable and very difficult)
I'm so proud of u. 6 months ago you were emphatic that you hated rock and other genres beside rap. Look how much your life has changed for the better with expanding your options. Between rock. Wearing rock t-shirt. Putting your adorable baby to bed with Johnny Cash. I'm betting your kids won't grow up ignorant of other cultures. Good job
Oh I feel like I’m doing my kids a huge favor (Luca gets to listen a little more) by listening to such great music with them. We’ve so enjoyed listening to johny cash and Nat King Cole together ❤️
Your baby is so lucky. My mom told me she put headphones on her belly when she was pregnant with me. That might have something to with my vocal talent. Unfortunately I'm not very good at the guitar because I inherited Dupuytren's contracture from my dad. It limits my endurance for tasks that require a strong grip or manual dexterity. If I practice basic chords on the guitar for an hour or so my left hand is going to cramp up. I've been thinking about learning how to play a theremin because you don't even have to touch it to play it. You change the pitch and volume just by waving your hands around it. The Beach Boys used one on Good Vibrations.
@@RobSquadReactions you’re kids are so lucky. I’ve realized how fortunate I was that my mom exposed me to so many different genres of music. Most of the music from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s you’ve reacted to, my mom listened to and in turn we listened to. 💕🎸🎶
@@JanS1 Brian’s family was relatively poor (which is why he and his dad *built* his guitar from scraps around the house instead of buying one… they also built a telescope) - there would have certainly been no money for his parents to hire a nanny.
I was at a friends funeral, the service was finishing, we were all asked to take a minute to gather our happy thoughts and memories about him, in silence, then this track started.....😁
@@StimParavane for the band, yes the onlyband to write #1 song for the band... need that caveat, because every member of the Beatles did, just not all as a group
If Amber liked that one she will probably get a kick out of AC/DC Whole Lotta Rosie Live at the River Platte, a great one to rock out to! Thanks for all your great content x
Brian May (Queens guitarist) pinned this for Freddie. He said in an interview 'he had Freddie in mind when he wrote it because Freddie liked big bottom girls or boys'
The reason Queen is reckoned to be one of the best ever bands, both studio and live, is the quality of ALL it's members- Roger Taylor on drums, Brian May on guitar, John Deacon on bass, and of course the one and only Freddie Mercury!
Fat-bottom girls do indeed make the rockin' world go 'round! This was basically the equivalent of "Baby Got Back" for its time, only this is a better song (I like BGB, but it's nothing compared to this classic). Love this song, and loved Amber's reaction! Thank you for bringing this one back! My recommendation is going to be Freddie Mercury's version of "The Great Pretender" (yes, Freddie, not Queen; it was from one of his solo albums). If I had know you were going to be paying tribute to Freddie all day today, I would have recommended this weeks ago so it could have been included.
My wife is probably my wife because I saw her from the back initially. She’s been out of town for a week. When I pick her up at the airport this song will play. Followed by Baby Got Back and then Big Bottom. And all three are mentioned in this little thread. Y’all are my people.
Freddie Mercury was a natural-born showman. He had the right combination of moves, attitude, and charisma that make stagecraft truly, truly great, on top of that, he had one of the most unique and amazing voices in the history of rock. Every time I hear a Queen song, I get jazzed and heartbroken at the same time, because I don't know if we'll ever see anything quite like Freddie again.
RIP to our Freddie - it's been 30 years today Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us. #Queen #FreddieMercury #NeverForgotten #GreatestFrontmanEver #GOAT #WeLoveYou
I love how this song and bicycle race, which were released on the same single, reference each other! If you want a rocking under appreciated Queen sing, listen to Hammer to Fall!;!
Ahh, so “get on your bikes and ride“is about bicycles. I thought it was motorcycles all this time as it sounds like a biker song and is more relevant in my world. Just found out what the bicycle song was about too, so now I get it. Thanks for clarifying this!
Freddie was one of those people with a special charisma, like Prince, like Michael Jackson, Elvis... there's a presence about these guys. It's like they were born to be superstars
Hey amber , at the beginning of the somg he said he was left with big fat fannie she was such a naughty nanny heap big woman you made a bad boy outa me .. 😍😍
For me, this is a perfect example of the awesomeness of Roger Taylor - Drummer and Back up Singer. When you think of Drummer as vocalist, you cannot deny Roger's skills as drummer and vocalist. Very Rare indeed!
I could not agree more. I'm not a huge Queen fan, but I love all their music. The one undisputed fact is that Freddie Mercury was the greatest showman ever. The only two people that ever existed that could possibly be included in the GOAT list of showmen are Michael Jackson and Elvis.
Well done - hardly anyone ever mentions Deaky's fantastic bass on this (and on many other Queen songs apart from Under Pressure and Another One Bites The Dust)
You guys are pure joy to watch! I’m very handicapped and often in a lot of pain but I love to watch you two just soaking up the vibes and rocking it with big smiles on your faces. Your dancing is so infectious I often find myself dancing with you - while sitting in my wheelchair
May he RIP!! One of my top 5 favorites of Queen!! Please react to the whole Live Aid performance. Probably one of THE BEST live performances ever!! The audience engagement is spectacular! Thanks for sharing your reactions y’all! 😊
I'm glad to see your reaction to his onstage presence. In my opinion (others may disagree but), he is the greatest front man to ever set foot on stage. He could take an audience that was just "kinda there" and, by his movement and vocal inflection, carry them on his shoulders until they were flying high on the music just like him. No drugs, no alcohol on stage (many people mistook his honey-lemon tea that he drank to soothe his throat to be able to continue belting it out as him drinking beer.) He may have partied hard off stage, but on performance days he insisted that they all be sober for the show. After that they could go wild, but never on stage. Talk about professionalism in an industry that fully expected the band to be under the influence 24/7. Wow. I really, really admire his performance, personality and work ethic. It's so rare for them to "put the music and the fans first" that you really have to give him props. I may have my problems understanding parts of his personal life, but that doesn't influence my opinion of him, his artistry and pure musical genius. No judgment on ANYONE, I just am so straight that I have never been able to understand how a man can look at another man and think about them in romantic or sexual terms. That's not me saying that it's wrong... only that I honestly don't understand how it works so please don't bash me. I have many gay friends (male and female) and they are some of the best humans I have ever met. In fact, my friend Jim is godfather to my son so please... don't even try to hit me with that "homophobia" crap. Just because you are friends with someone doesn't mean you automatically understand them and their motivations. I have been dealing with judgment and racism my whole life (My father was Native American and my mother Caucasian. Us kids were never fully accepted by either side, let alone the community at large) so I refuse to judge people by appearances, but wait to find the content of their character. (MLK was a very wise man)
Correction. Freddie Mercury could sing a bowl of alphabet soup and earn a Grammy AND have a number 1 hit! Amazing is an understatement for the genius that left us far too soon.
Freddie was a Queen and King of music , a true amazing star ! Some people are born to bless us for a short time , he left everything on the concert stage . He is dancing among the stars now .
This song brought new and added meaning to the 60s/70s phrase "You can't boogie without bottom." Originally referring to a good bass line and solid drum beat - this works - too.
Love this song‼‼‼‼‼ Freddie is a genius in my opinion. He writes lyrics, has a voice like no other, and is the BEST performer. He will NEVER be forgotten‼‼‼👍
I'm going to guess that initially when she saw the title, she thought it was gonna somehow be a knock on fat bottomed girls. The delight that spread across her face as she heard the lyrics and understood them...priceless.
I knew life before I left my nursery Left alone with big fat Fanny She was such a naughty nanny You big woman,you made a bad boy out of me.There is technically a part 2.In this song he says Get on your bikes and ride.The part 2 is called bicycle race.
Oh the memories with this song! The first time I left it dialed up on the 8-track when my mom got in the car, rocking down the road singing along, the result from letting my young children listen to it on the way to church, the look on my preacher son’s face when he realized his sisters who all under 5 knew all the words,
Roger Taylor (drummer) has such an incredible voice. Queen was able to do so much more because of Roger’s voice. He is one of the main reasons their harmonies were so good. If you ever get a chance, their are Queen videos that isolate his voice. It’s incredible.
One of the things about Queen in their Studio recording (that was the music video to the studio recording) - but they always performed in the studio as if they were live on stage, so that every recording is them giving their all to the song. My all time favourite band and singer of all time. I'll be tracking back through your reactions to see what other gems you've stumbled on to :)
R.est I.n P.ower Freddy. He was such an old soul, kind. I Lost my Oldest Brother to HIV in the late 80s. He was like Freddy, he lived his life to the fullest, was kind and would not allow any negativity to ruin his smile. So Freddy's death hit me hard. I'm glad you played this song, my Brother David Loved Big Bottom Girls. Ha ha haaaaa. Thank You for reminding me again. Remember, You are Loved and Blessed, You make not only me but a lot of ppl smile everyday. Thank You Both, You're incredible human beings. Kudos to the ones that raised ya'll. They did a Terrific Job. I see you passing these traits down to your children. That IS The GREATEST LOVE OF ALL. Thanks Amber, Thanks Jay. God Bless and keep you safe and well. Much Love from California Kat ❤
Here's one for you. Queen " who wants to live forever" Pretty different then what you just listened to but a great one! Video has orchestra . Also the group " TheTenors " does a great version . Check it out. Cheers !
The whole "Highlander" soundtrack is freakin' awesome. Queen made that fun cheesefest awesome. "Who Wants to Live Forever" "Princes of the Universe" "Gimme the Prize" "A Kind of Magic" Or how about "Flash's Theme" from the "Flash Gordon" soundtrack?
Forty-five years ago I worked in a bicycle shop part-time, and we were always playing whatever was popular, especially Queen, while assembling bikes in the back shop. We displayed the inner sleeve of the album, a photo of naked "fat-bottomed" women riding away on bicycles. Good music to assemble bicycles to, and an inspiration for group of young bicycle crazed guys looking forward to what we might view on our next ride. Still riding 70+ miles in a week in my sixties and enjoying the view.
What I love most about Freddie is that he was born named Farrokh Bulsara as a Parsi in Zanzibar. He was not "white" or "straight" or "normal", yet he was the pinnacle of Western music for a decade.
Brian May wrote this. In addition to being a rock star he is also an astrophysicist. (For real) If he says something makes the world go round it is just scientific fact 😂
Fat Bottomed Girls is like a Southern Rock song, and it shows just how broad their reach was in trying different kinds of music. Bohemian Rhapsody is like a classical ensemble one could expect from Bach or Beethoven, then morphs into a modern full out rock song. Crazy Little Thing Called Love is a Rockabilly styled song from the 50's era. They really reached out to about every kind of music genre for their music. Incidentally Amber, you're really pretty when you have your hair down. Wear it like this more. I tell the same thing to my wife too.
One of the best, upbeat and fun songs by Queen - always puts me in a great mood. Loved Amber’s reaction! Oh and BTW, I just have to say that Amber’s hair is so beautiful 😍
A true rock anthem in every note and drum beat. We are losing so many legendary true musicians. I hope the next generations are up to the job of supplying the new ones. Life is better with music.
One of the first Queen songs I heard as a young teenager. It intrigued me . Listening to Freddie in many of the time he doesn’t sing with the beat. Fantastic
Another great reaction you guys, and how can you go wrong with Queen? Fun fact - all the band members wrote songs, and they're the only group in which every member wrote at least one Number 1 hit single. Keep on keepin on - peace and love!
I went to your channel to check and there is one Queen song you haven't done. Do you know the original movie The Highlander? All the music was written by Queen. Go on UA-cam and type in Highlander Who Wants to Live Forever. The song is done over a montage of the Highlander, who is immortal, marrying his first true love who is mortal. I cry every time I watch. Love your reactions, hope you will keep them up.
Thank you! A great song that your kids will love is "The Miracle". They have children play the parts of the band members and it's stellar with a great message.
They even reference each other! Fat bottomed girls - "get on your bikes and ride" Bicycle song - "fat bottomed girls will be riding today" Genius for intertwining the two songs that were released on the same single
I was fortunate enough to be in single digits during the 1970s hearing all these awesome albums growing up. Music is an incredible time machine you can travel to another time and place longing for cherished moments of the past...
I was lucky enough to hear and see Queen live in San Francisco in 1980. Best concert ever! I have never seen anyone play a 10 foot gong like he did! I still have the t-shirt! Wonderful memories!
Talk about a band with truly incredible musicians…Queens members were outstanding. Roger Taylor’s drumming was so great and of course Brian Mays one of the best guitarists ever. Can you imagine having a band with three vocalist that could be the frontman for any band . That’s how good their vocals were….👍🏼👍🏼
This song came out when I was 13. My brother was 19 and was a huge Queen fan. He bought this album and we played it until we wore it out! I remember pulling up to a concert years later(no memory of what band) and this song came on the radio and he and I stayed in the car with this on full blast until it ended. By the time we got out of the car we had a little crowd around our car singing along 😂.
God what a performer we lost a great talent when Freddie passed on. I absolutely loved watching Amber's face light up. Thanks guys for helping to keep great music alive.
I have an old album of John Denver with a few tracks recorded live in concert and as he was ending the concert one line that he sang was ‘ and here’s to the dogs of Toledo, Ohio………Ladies I bid you good night!” It was so unexpected from John, that it still makes me smile when I hear it.
We miss you Freddie but your legacy will live on.
Everyday😥✌😎🎵

I'm glad to see your reaction to his onstage presence. In my opinion (others may disagree but), he is the greatest front man to ever set foot on stage. He could take an audience that was just "kinda there" and, by his movement and vocal inflection, carry them on his shoulders until they were flying high on the music just like him. No drugs, no alcohol on stage (many people mistook his honey-lemon tea that he drank to soothe his throat to be able to continue belting it out as him drinking beer.) He may have partied hard off stage, but on performance days he insisted that they all be sober for the show. After that they could go wild, but never on stage. Talk about professionalism in an industry that fully expected the band to be under the influence 24/7. Wow. I really, really admire his performance, personality and work ethic. It's so rare for them to "put the music and the fans first" that you really have to give him props. I may have my problems understanding parts of his personal life, but that doesn't influence my opinion of him, his artistry and pure musical genius. No judgment on ANYONE, I just am so straight that I have never been able to understand how a man can look at another man and think about them in romantic or sexual terms. That's not me saying that it's wrong... only that I honestly don't understand how it works so please don't bash me. I have many gay friends (male and female) and they are some of the best humans I have ever met. In fact, my friend Jim is godfather to my son so please... don't even try to hit me with that "homophobia" crap. Just because you are friends with someone doesn't mean you automatically understand them and their motivations. I have been dealing with judgment and racism my whole life (My father was Native American and my mother Caucasian. Us kids were never fully accepted by either side, let alone the community at large) so I refuse to judge people by appearances, but wait to find the content of their character. (MLK was a very wise man)
I lived through that era and failed to really appreciate Queen until years later. Another incredible talent gone too soon.
Me too. I didn't really start appreciating Queen until Innuendo. What a fool I was.
yep same for me@@fredcoleman6827
Freddie sings "Barcelona" with an opera singer called Monserrat Caballe, it was the song for the Barcelona Olympics.
Proof Freddie Mercury could sing the phone book and he’s make it a hit. Thanks for celebrating one of the titans of music!
Correction. Freddie Mercury could sing a bowl of alphabet soup and earn a Grammy AND have a number 1 hit!
Amazing is an understatement for the genius that left us far too soon.
Only Freddie could pull off this song! He was amazing ♥
nobody on earth ever got more swag than Freddie... he IS the definition of swag!
Freddie was a Queen and King of music , a true amazing star ! Some people are born to bless us for a short time , he left everything on the concert stage . He is dancing among the stars now .
Thank you guys for honoring Freddie today! Such an extraordinary artist and human being. Please do more Zeppelin and Meat Loaf!
More Zeppelin for sure, but why would you want to torture people with Meat Loaf? 😉
Yes Meat Loaf. I want to see a reaction to the music video for Objects in the Rear View Mirror. Makes me cry every time.
This song brought new and added meaning to the 60s/70s phrase "You can't boogie without bottom."
Originally referring to a good bass line and solid drum beat - this works - too.
Love this song‼‼‼‼‼
Freddie is a genius in my opinion. He writes lyrics, has a voice like no other, and is the BEST performer. He will NEVER be forgotten‼‼‼👍
Except he didn't write this one. There are other members of Queen ya'know?
I just love that "Fat Bottom Girls" was NOT a diss!! They LOVED the fat bottom girls!
I love Jay appreciating Queen's incredible harmonies. Brian May's The Red Special is so crucial to this song, too.
I'm going to guess that initially when she saw the title, she thought it was gonna somehow be a knock on fat bottomed girls. The delight that spread across her face as she heard the lyrics and understood them...priceless.
I knew life before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
You big woman,you made a bad boy out of me.There is technically a part 2.In this song he says Get on your bikes and ride.The part 2 is called bicycle race.
Oh the memories with this song! The first time I left it dialed up on the 8-track when my mom got in the car, rocking down the road singing along, the result from letting my young children listen to it on the way to church, the look on my preacher son’s face when he realized his sisters who all under 5 knew all the words,
Priceless story!!! 🤣👏👏
You gotta hand it to the Brit's in the 70's with bands like Queen, Led Zepellin, The Who & Pink Floyd....They ROCKED ! Great Reaction BTW.
I love the pure joy in Amber's face at so many parts of the song.
This was the 70s EVERY BODY ,,
Hey! I'm fat-bottom girl, so I LOVE this song! LOL! 🤘🎶💙
Me too!!!!!!
You should like Mika - Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)

Roger Taylor (drummer) has such an incredible voice. Queen was able to do so much more because of Roger’s voice. He is one of the main reasons their harmonies were so good. If you ever get a chance, their are Queen videos that isolate his voice. It’s incredible.
"I'm in love with my car" !
Pure joy to see you guys dig this! For those of us who have our 40years in with Fred , we salute you guys!
This came out in the 70s ,, 1978 Right here,,
One of the things about Queen in their Studio recording (that was the music video to the studio recording) - but they always performed in the studio as if they were live on stage, so that every recording is them giving their all to the song. My all time favourite band and singer of all time. I'll be tracking back through your reactions to see what other gems you've stumbled on to :)
R.est I.n P.ower Freddy. He was such an old soul, kind. I Lost my Oldest Brother to HIV in the late 80s. He was like Freddy, he lived his life to the fullest, was kind and would not allow any negativity to ruin his smile. So Freddy's death hit me hard. I'm glad you played this song, my Brother David Loved Big Bottom Girls. Ha ha haaaaa. Thank You for reminding me again. Remember, You are Loved and Blessed, You make not only me but a lot of ppl smile everyday. Thank You Both, You're incredible human beings. Kudos to the ones that raised ya'll. They did a Terrific Job. I see you passing these traits down to your children. That IS The GREATEST LOVE OF ALL. Thanks Amber, Thanks Jay. God Bless and keep you safe and well. Much Love from California Kat ❤
Here's one for you. Queen " who wants to live forever" Pretty different then what you just listened to but a great one! Video has orchestra . Also the group " TheTenors " does a great version . Check it out. Cheers !
The whole "Highlander" soundtrack is freakin' awesome. Queen made that fun cheesefest awesome.
"Who Wants to Live Forever"
"Princes of the Universe"
"Gimme the Prize"
"A Kind of Magic"
Or how about "Flash's Theme" from the "Flash Gordon" soundtrack?
@@newgrl Flash! Ah-ah!
@@newgrl I loved highlander series! Yep, great sound track!
You guys are so awesome, doing this for Freddie. You guys are a part of my day now. Thank you!
this is absolutely one of my theme songs!! I will get up and dance, sing and emulate Freddie to the extreme!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE this song
So much innocence in her reaction I am loving it. We fat bottom girls definitely make the rocking world go round.
You can't hear this song and not smile and nod. It's just beatiful.
I had to chime in on this one!!! Love this song and all the memories it brings back!!!
Love and good health to you all...
Love of my Life! Live in Wembley Stadium 1986 ,pure perfection!
Amber emailed me back, her wrist is fine. Just some carry over carpal tunnel from Luca's pregnancy.
I know everyone watching is bopping and shaking their heads in time and how cool is that?
Watching Ambers reaction in the beginning to the lyrics is priceless
So glad you guys are loving Freddy Mercury today!!!! That’s for every reaction you do!! Xo
Forty-five years ago I worked in a bicycle shop part-time, and we were always playing whatever was popular, especially Queen, while assembling bikes in the back shop. We displayed the inner sleeve of the album, a photo of naked "fat-bottomed" women riding away on bicycles. Good music to assemble bicycles to, and an inspiration for group of young bicycle crazed guys looking forward to what we might view on our next ride. Still riding 70+ miles in a week in my sixties and enjoying the view.
My favorite Queen song is Play The Game. It's not one of the popular ones, but very cool! I highly recommend taking a listen!
What I love most about Freddie is that he was born named Farrokh Bulsara as a Parsi in Zanzibar. He was not "white" or "straight" or "normal", yet he was the pinnacle of Western music for a decade.
Forever.
He was true to himself and his music. A brave man and a great talent who died far too soon.
Brian May wrote this. In addition to being a rock star he is also an astrophysicist. (For real)
If he says something makes the world go round it is just scientific fact 😂
Next Stops, Timeless Voices Edition:
Patsy Cline, "I Fall to Pieces" (for Female Friday)
Bing Crosby, "White Christmas" (for the Christmas List)
Heart, "Magic Man" (for Female Friday)
Probably one of the most fun songs to listen to while driving with your friends cause everyone knows the words or at least the chorus
One of my favorite Queen songs!!
Agreed, one of my favourites too.
I love watching a new generation discover our old music!
It makes me emotianal. I was brought up as a queen fan and its great to watch others actually get it!
Fat Bottomed Girls is like a Southern Rock song, and it shows just how broad their reach was in trying different kinds of music.
Bohemian Rhapsody is like a classical ensemble one could expect from Bach or Beethoven, then morphs into a modern full out rock song.
Crazy Little Thing Called Love is a Rockabilly styled song from the 50's era. They really reached out to about every kind of music genre for their music.
Incidentally Amber, you're really pretty when you have your hair down. Wear it like this more. I tell the same thing to my wife too.
I'm digging this theme of sticking with one artist for the day. What a fun reaction. I was dancing along with you guys.
One of the best, upbeat and fun songs by Queen - always puts me in a great mood. Loved Amber’s reaction! Oh and BTW, I just have to say that Amber’s hair is so beautiful 😍
A true rock anthem in every note and drum beat. We are losing so many legendary true musicians. I hope the next generations are up to the job of supplying the new ones. Life is better with music.
One of the first Queen songs I heard as a young teenager. It intrigued me . Listening to Freddie in many of the time he doesn’t sing with the beat. Fantastic
Queen is eternal.
Wish I had a nanny like his!
Have you thought of reacting to the Bohemian Rhapsody biopic?
Another great reaction you guys, and how can you go wrong with Queen? Fun fact - all the band members wrote songs, and they're the only group in which every member wrote at least one Number 1 hit single. Keep on keepin on - peace and love!
I went to your channel to check and there is one Queen song you haven't done. Do you know the original movie The Highlander? All the music was written by Queen. Go on UA-cam and type in Highlander Who Wants to Live Forever. The song is done over a montage of the Highlander, who is immortal, marrying his first true love who is mortal. I cry every time I watch. Love your reactions, hope you will keep them up.
You kids are so lucky to be able to hear these songs for the first time. Keep going. You gotta lot more to go.
I believe that this song is not comedy but an ode to all of us fat bottom girls. Ty Freddie
It's actually about being molested by your fat nanny!
Freddie was the epitome of Showmanship. RIP.
Thank you! A great song that your kids will love is "The Miracle". They have children play the parts of the band members and it's stellar with a great message.
Technically this song belongs as a pair with Bicycle Race just like We Will Rock You & We Are The Champions
Go browns
@@tjhunger8644 You must have recognized the buzzard!
They even reference each other!
Fat bottomed girls - "get on your bikes and ride"
Bicycle song - "fat bottomed girls will be riding today"
Genius for intertwining the two songs that were released on the same single
Yeah. Grew up in a city near Cleveland Lorain Oh and listen to WMMS Kid Leo and "Matt the Cat"
I was fortunate enough to be in single digits during the 1970s hearing all these awesome albums growing up. Music is an incredible time machine you can travel to another time and place longing for cherished moments of the past...
I was lucky enough to hear and see Queen live in San Francisco in 1980. Best concert ever! I have never seen anyone play a 10 foot gong like he did! I still have the t-shirt! Wonderful memories!
"Whole Lotta Rosie" by AC/DC is another song in praise of larger women.
I love this song and you two definitely made me smile with your reactions!
Talk about a band with truly incredible musicians…Queens members were outstanding. Roger Taylor’s drumming was so great and of course Brian Mays one of the best guitarists ever. Can you imagine having a band with three vocalist that could be the frontman for any band . That’s how good their vocals were….👍🏼👍🏼
@@ZiggyonMars , I’ll bet it wouldn’t be boring..that’s for sure. The man is a walking encyclopedia ✌🏼✌🏼
When you are driving in your car and this song comes on the radio, joyous moment! Crank it up!
This song came out when I was 13. My brother was 19 and was a huge Queen fan. He bought this album and we played it until we wore it out! I remember pulling up to a concert years later(no memory of what band) and this song came on the radio and he and I stayed in the car with this on full blast until it ended. By the time we got out of the car we had a little crowd around our car singing along 😂.
Queen did the soundtrack for flash Gordon the movie and got me hooked
The one song left from Queen I absolutely would like you guys to react on is..."Innuendo"!!
Just one? Lol
You need to see the live version -- Fat Bottomed Girls (Live at The Bowl 1982).
God what a performer we lost a great talent when Freddie passed on. I absolutely loved watching Amber's face light up. Thanks guys for helping to keep great music alive.
I have an old album of John Denver with a few tracks recorded live in concert and as he was ending the concert one line that he sang was ‘ and here’s to the dogs of Toledo, Ohio………Ladies I bid you good night!” It was so unexpected from John, that it still makes me smile when I hear it.
