  • 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!

      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!

    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.

    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)

      There are a lot of "disco purrfecetion" songs of a lot of artists, they were made at the 80s, meant to play in radios at that time
      These music is old and Freddie did made it at that time and he knows it
      The disco purrfecetion versions are marvelous, I suggest them, but they are more about the 70s disco bands of course
