It was drummer Roger Taylor's girlfriend's idea to dress in drag. Bass guitar player John Deacon was the frumpy granny in the dark coat and hat, guitarist Brian May was wearing the curlers, pink satin and lace nighty and bunny slippers (possibly as the spinster or widow Auntie). The guys all had a blast dressing in drag, they thought it was hilarious. Infamously, the stuffed shirts at MTV didn't get the joke behind the cross-dressing part of the video and banned it. The ballet section actually featured Freddie with members of the royal ballet, of which Freddie was a huge fan. Also, in case your wondering, the device in the opening sequence was a tea-maid. Its a combination kettle and alarm clock. Its supposed to boil water or make tea when the alarm goes off, but was reputedly unstable.
“The video spoofs the ITV soap opera Coronation Street, as proposed by Roger Taylor: ‘We had done some really serious, epic videos in the past, and we just thought we'd have some fun. We wanted people to know that we didn't take ourselves too seriously, that we could still laugh at ourselves. I think we proved that.’” According to Rolling Stone, the video for “I Want to Break Free” is a parody of the British soap opera Coronation Street. It features members of the band in drag in a way which hearkens back to Bugs Bunny and the early days of drag comedy. Brits got the joke, however, others were incensed by the video. Loudersound says MTV banned the video in North America.
@@nursemarn - Canada has always had closer cultural ties to the UK and we got a lot of their TV shows. Our humor is much more similar, puns, word plays, ridiculous situations. Stuff like Monty Python (way before the US), Some Mother do 'ave 'em, Fawlty Towers (whose sign changed as Watery Fowls, Flowery Twats, Farty Towels, Fatty Owls, etc.), Keeping up Appearances. Classic stuff. As Brian May reportedly said, "Americans are Puritans in public but perverts in private".
@@xoxxobob61 Yes indeed. Remember, Freddie died in November, 1991, and Magic Johnson announced he was HIV positive in December, 1991, and is still alive today.
Contrary to what some people think, this song was not about Freddie being bisexual. John Deacon wrote this song and Roger Taylor and his girlfriend came up with the idea for the video. Sometimes a song it’s just a song. Your reaction is HILARIOUS as always!
@@hanaha6558 He wasn't though, if he was bi he would've stayed with his fiancee and not break up with her for the other guy. Plus in the movie he says he's homosexual
Yeah, in the UK, we laughed our socks off at this video - whilst the US went round clutching their pearls. Freddie was all ready to shave his moustache off, but they convinced him to leave it on as it was funnier. We have a long tradition of drag in this country - see Pantomime Dames. That is also The Royal Ballet company you're seeing. Just think of it as art :-D
This is one of the best and funniest comments I've ever seen on a reaction!! So true about US vs UK sensibilities; even in 2020 I think. (I'm from Australia).
LOVE QUEEN!! All those dancers were dancers with The Royal Ballet of London!! Love Freddie!! Also dressing in drag on tv in England is pretty normal. But MTV in America banned this video.
Freddie was flamboyant for sure. He took chances musically....and gave us gems. 🎼🎶🎹🎸🎤😎....it’s just imagery.....it doesn’t have to make sense.....the 80’s were wild n out all the time. That decade was a fun one, in real time it was nuts. Everyone in music toured, all the clubs were lit...it was magical at times.
@@bonniebickett4520 agree 💯. No one can replace Freddie Mercury. I didn’t like that new guy any better than the karaoke singer that joined Journey. Nope- one Steve Perry, that’s it.❤️🎼🎶❤️
Hey, the beautiful blond in the kitchen is the drummer, Roger Taylor who was quite a ladies' man, so pretty damned funny, Since he was better looking than most women! As for Freddie...well, there's lots of arguments about his sexuality, but in the end, he left everything to his first love, Mary Austin.
It's one of the 'moments of music history'. And definitely in the top 3 best live performances ever. When I chat with someone about music, one of the first things I wanna know is 'have you watched Queen at live aid?' and if the answer is a no, the conversation will continue if the other person watched it. Edit: a line from 'Epic Rap Battles of History - Sinatra vs Freddie Mercury' describes it pretty nice IMO: (Freddie) when I rock the UK, South America gets horny. His stage presence was one of a kind combined with a genius musicality, an outstanding voice and a flamboyant sense of style. He's the type of guy that legends dream of.
My birthday (not the year sadly)....but congratulations for Freddie.....love is love is love....doesn't matter gender, race. religion etc....if you're not hurting anyone it's none of their business. Freddie was a CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!!!
This came out during my short time living in Germany. It was on their TV music shows, no big deal. I liked the song. The video made me giggle. It was that first moment of thinking, "I don't think Freddie is just just dropping vague *hints* any more about who he really is. Sing it Freddie! Break Free!" When I got back to the states, I realized how 'filtered' our music was. It was way before the internet, and trying to keep up with music from across the ocean wasn't nearly as easy as it is today.
The band is English and in the UK it's considered hilarious to see men dressed up as women in comedy sketches, movies, or at Halloween and such. Let's face it, Roger the blond drummer makes for a prettier woman than most. lol
Lol 😂 the way you looked at your smokes... “Freddie? That you??” Oh my sides lol.. cow 🐮 helpless with laughter .... so there’s a very drab tv soap in Uk based on very drab day to day happenings which was the dress up at beginning of vid .. the pretty blond one was the drummer Roger (whose idea this allegedly was) ! Intended to be humorous although even then in the 80’s there we’re those homophobes who had their say .. but mostly it was enjoyed and seems to have stood the test of time 🌹👑👏👏👏
I laughed so hard when you first paused it, looked at the joint, back at the screen, back at the joint, then the screen, then rubbed your eyes. I was shocked too, lol.
Oh hello Mr. Video. When I saw this on your reaction video list, I was a bit concerned. Your quiet moments in the beginning were to make sure your smoke wasn’t tainted. Or, you didn’t know whether to laugh or cry! They should have warned you. UK was a lot more tolerant to drag on film than we will ever be. The other ladies are the rest of the band. I was ok with Freddie’s mini skirt but Brian’s curlers always sends me over the edge. Queen was never afraid of breaking barriers. Remember this was the 80’s, and this got people SHOOK. Love your reaction darlin! ❤️. You handled it! Proud of you!
It’s Mr V’s expressions. I found it funny you found it offensive. We’re all different, nothing wrong with that. We can’t all agree all the time that would be weird. I look on the funny side - that’s got me through life so far.
This was the most funniest reaction I've watched for this video. Thanks for the laughs. That girl at the table....lmao...yes Roger is beautiful lol. Those are the band members in drag.
This by far is one of the best reactions Ive seen of yours.....LOVE IT... been in a funk amd you made me genually laugh out loud....so thank you ...Freddie will always be a rare gem,a diamond in the tough,a spirit like no other....much love to you all
LMAO I love how you first paused the video, stared at your blunt, squinted back at the video, back to the blunt like, "bruh am I really seeing this or did I get some good shit?"
"Free your mind and the rest will follow" It's good to see you approaching this subject, with more of an open mind. In the end, we're all just people... 💕
Everytime I hear this song I just have to smile. Written by Desky doing it in drag was suggested by Roger's girlfriend. Freddie wanted to shave his mustache but they thought it would be more fun with it. Watch for Freddie's 2 step coming out of the litchen.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
That was great as usual! If you wanna see Freddy singing like no one can you should check out Somebody to Love Live in Montreal 1981... It also shows Roger Taylor(drums)'s amazing vocals as well. MIND. BLOWING.
I couldn’t stop laughing when you saw Freddie then looked at what you were smoking then the t,v then your smoke I needed to laugh after a terrible year Thank you 👑👑👑
Freddy was bisexual. alot of people didn't know that. this song about him being himself with no apologizes of who he was! and his friends and bandmates showing they got his back always!
@@augie2258 the *video* was a spoof, in those days the video didn´t necessarily have to do anything with the lyrics, they were just playing around. The *song* is an empowerment song, the lyrics are clear, pro-feminist, pro-LGBTQ, interpret it any way .
John Deacon (Deaky), Bass guitar was the old grandmother reading the paper; Brian May, Guitar was the housewife in curlers, Roger Taylor, drummer was the bobby sock blond girl and of course Freddie, vacuuming. And you sir, what a wonderful reaction...fun, fun, fun...Thanks.
Your initial reaction at the beginning when Freddie first stepped in had me laughing my ass off. You looked away as you tried to process what you were seeing then looked at your joint. Lol! Classic!
I just recently found your page on UA-cam and you're genuinely amazing to watch. Your reactions are absolutely hilarious and real. Freddie was a musical Genius. He was also an opera singer. He was gay and amazing. A true showman. You should watch the movie about him called bohemian rhapsody. It is beyond amazing. I think you'll really like it....👏👏👏👏
This is a quote from the interview itself, not my words. The story behind the drag always made me smile. These men are magic. I’d say try-sexual. Brian May was asked in an interview with Q 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 Coronation Street women."
It’s probably the British in me, but everyone should watch ‘Coronation Street.’ {I am not from the U.K. but my Grandparents and Great Aunts and Uncles are straight off the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. I love this shit.!
I love how you were looking at the cigarette in your hand like: "Is there something in that? Am I imagining or is that freddy in a dress and a wig?" Made me laugh so hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great reaction as always. You are very entertaining. 😊 I love Freddie and Queen. Freddie was free, he always wanted to be free. He lived life to the fullest, didnt regret anything and his main thing was to be happy. And he was, even though he became ill and knew he was going to die he lived life to the fullest. He was in the studio creating music until he couldnt stand anymore. Never complaining though he must have been in severe pain. His bandmaids later said they were amazed by Freddies strenght throughout his illness, until the bitter end he never stoped living. 🙏❤️
He was so good that even people who didn't necessarily like gay people couldn't help but like Queen, he was a very charismatic guy and a great entertainer
😅😅😅 I wish I had my reaction video of your reaction video because that's first pause when you looked at your blunt made me spit my drink laughing! I love Queen soooo much though!
When you took a puff, rubbed your eyes, and started over, all without talking, I about died! Love you, man!😘
And hell yes, Freddie can sing!🤯
i did the same LOL
Yes...that was brilliant!
Same. Absolutely dead 😂😂😂
Best reaction on UA-cam
But examines it first before he takes a puff. That's what got me 😂
“Look at the girl at the table” lol, you mean Roger Taylor? All the women were the band members. Great vid m8, made my day.
yes Roger made for a very cute woman😄😃😉
😂
😝😂😂😂😂❣️
*Rogerina
I clearly recall the first time we saw this every girl in the room being jealous at how cute Roger was. 😳😁
It was drummer Roger Taylor's girlfriend's idea to dress in drag. Bass guitar player John Deacon was the frumpy granny in the dark coat and hat, guitarist Brian May was wearing the curlers, pink satin and lace nighty and bunny slippers (possibly as the spinster or widow Auntie). The guys all had a blast dressing in drag, they thought it was hilarious. Infamously, the stuffed shirts at MTV didn't get the joke behind the cross-dressing part of the video and banned it. The ballet section actually featured Freddie with members of the royal ballet, of which Freddie was a huge fan. Also, in case your wondering, the device in the opening sequence was a tea-maid. Its a combination kettle and alarm clock. Its supposed to boil water or make tea when the alarm goes off, but was reputedly unstable.
Freddy was both the King and the Queen, if you'll know what I mean.
Yes he was and still is in owner heart
True legend.
Roger Taylor made a disturbingly good looking girl...
Just like Taylor of the Foo Fighters!
Yes he did!😊 as younger he had quite a feminin face with huge blue eyes, long dark eyelashes and soft features, so he made a stunning drag.
They all look so good dressed in drag.! But yes, Mr. Taylor definitely makes a beautiful lady. 😏😘
Rightttt hahahah I remember being so confused as a kid when I learnt that he’s one of the band 😂
Those kind of reactions is what im here for 😂 keep it up man
"Look at the girl at the table!" .. Yeah, ROGER (drummer) makes a pretty cute girl!

It was banned in the US. We Canadians got the humour and it was never banned here.
I remember seeing the video aired once on MTV, and it was never seen again, most likely due to complaints by viewers.

This American girl loved it, and got the humor! I was pissed when MTV banned it.
He was gay and one of the best singers of all times. Aids took him and God holds him
He is God
If only Freddy would have survived a few more years he would still be with us due to new drugs in the 90's.

The imagery is about being stuck in traditional roles... more for the women.

Hopefully the official video because Brian’s voice is angelic.

I waited for your expression when Freddie came with the Hoover!
the look on your face when it started..Priceless!!!
Mr video loves a man in a dress. Lol. 🇬🇧
This was the most funniest reaction I've watched for this video. Thanks for the laughs. That girl at the table....lmao...yes Roger is beautiful lol. Those are the band members in drag.
That double take in the first 2 minutes is priceless!
Loved the way you checked your joint . Like this shits better than thought .
" Freddie that you "
Hilarious made my day 🤣
I know this is an old reaction, but I'm seeing it for the first time. The side eye you gave Freddie is priceless! Bahahaha!
"Freddy might be a genius"
Freddy worked hard as fuck to entertain!
Your face when Freddie walked out! 🤣🤣🤣
Like me Freddie had a great sense of humour! ❤️👍🇬🇧
Freddy is known for his antics... all in fun.
Probably one of the best entertainers.
Bruh he thought the joint was making him see shit he had to rewind it 😂😂🤣🤣. Legendary Freddie Mercury 🙏🏽💯
YES! MORE FREDDY PLEASE! I love you watching you man, keep it up. My favorite performance besides Live Aid is Somebody to Love live in Montreal.
I love your reactions - your face after the intro, silence... then play it from the start again!! Ba ha ha!
I’m happy he did this song😭💜! This is my favorite Queen song besides Killer Queen. You need to do Hoobastank- The Reason, next.
Soooo good to have you back, you make the night shift so much easier to deal with. Love the reactions.... they're brilliant ❤
LOL at the beginning I said yeah you better light that thing up… Love this video, love Brian May in the hair curlers.
CHILD YOUR HITTING HOME RUNS THIS WEEK WITH YOUR REACTIONS;

I clicked on this one just so I could watch your reaction to the video opening. I was not disappointed!
This by far is one of the best reactions Ive seen of yours.....LOVE IT... been in a funk amd you made me genually laugh out loud....so thank you ...Freddie will always be a rare gem,a diamond in the tough,a spirit like no other....much love to you all
LMAO [pause just before Freddie starts singing] "what's in this joint?"
The semi naked parts were Freddie with the London Ballet Company. The person in pink nightgown was Brian and the wonan on the couch was John
How haven't I seen this video, wtf?! Dude its an art form, its epic, it's fantastic
LMAO I love how you first paused the video, stared at your blunt, squinted back at the video, back to the blunt like, "bruh am I really seeing this or did I get some good shit?"
"Free your mind and the rest will follow"
It's good to see you approaching this subject, with more of an open mind. In the end, we're all just people... 💕
Everytime I hear this song I just have to smile. Written by Desky doing it in drag was suggested by Roger's girlfriend. Freddie wanted to shave his mustache but they thought it would be more fun with it. Watch for Freddie's 2 step coming out of the litchen.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The whole group was in drag!
This video was banned on mtv and when I saw you were reacting to it I couldn't hit the button fast enough lol so glad your back at it...♡
1:48 the 15 second pause to process what he just saw had me cracking up 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 He looked at the joint like it was making him hallucinate!
That was great as usual! If you wanna see Freddy singing like no one can you should check out Somebody to Love Live in Montreal 1981... It also shows Roger Taylor(drums)'s amazing vocals as well. MIND. BLOWING.
One of them greatest of all times - Freddy Mercury,One of them realest reactors - Mr.Video!No words are needed!

Holy Sh!t. That pause at the beginning, the double take, the look at the J, made me bust into laughter

He was in the studio creating music until he couldnt stand anymore. Never complaining though he must have been in severe pain. His bandmaids later said they were amazed by Freddies strenght throughout his illness, until the bitter end he never stoped living. 🙏❤️
He was so good that even people who didn't necessarily like gay people couldn't help but like Queen, he was a very charismatic guy and a great entertainer
You made my day too ! R.I.P Freddy I Love Queen

😅😅😅 I wish I had my reaction video of your reaction video because that's first pause when you looked at your blunt made me spit my drink laughing! I love Queen soooo much though!
REQUEST ... “Who wants to live forever” live at Budapest ... totally different again.
II think Saturday night at Wembley 1986 is the best version of who wants to live forever give it a look. The Budapest is great too
