    Confirms my theory about Queen songs: they're just good songs. I LOVE Queen, and I've never heard a cover I don't like. For me that proves that the songs themselves are excellent.

    For some reason, I could easily see this being used in a movie trailer. One of those art house ones with no plot and a really ambiguous meaning.

    • @Tricob1974
      @Tricob1974 7 років тому +33

      You're right - this song is quite ideal for a movie trailer. :-) But a plot surrounding the events of a party at someone's house would also work. Maybe the host has discovered some sort of odd mystery when the party begins, and he/she strives to figure the mystery out without disrupting the party.

    • @ElvenAngel
      @ElvenAngel 7 років тому +21

      That's actually really, REALLY interesting plot idea. I'd watch that! A party at a hotel would also work, give more room and character cast.

    • @Tricob1974
      @Tricob1974 7 років тому +11

      ElvenAngel - I think you have a good expansion to that idea. If all or most of the hotel staff are involved in the party, it expands who the mystery can involve. It also expands possibilities for plot twists and interesting complications. So yes, good suggestion. :-)

      I didn't know a "take it easy" approach was synonymous with dull and boring lol, Melinda's performance was great and energetic, i enjoyed the slower paced arrangement, but people will still find anything no matter how silly to argue on the Internet. Anyway It's my opinion and you're as free to disagree with it as i am to stick to it, at least a few hundreds agree with me.

    you guys killed (in a bad way) this song... she sings like she's in trouble and the lyrics is pure joy, joy to reach ecstasy! It's one of the times you feel confident and the happiest person in the world.
