I've been trying to learn Bohemian Rhapsody on the piano. It is truly a great piece of music. The first ever concert I went to was Queen at Wembley Stadium supported by an up-and-coming band called INXS. I sneaked my oversize camera in and got a couple of half decent pictures.
I realised that most of my Queen music is on vinyl and my record player is in (unplugged) the loft (natch). So I have bought the Queen Platinum Collection and have been playing all to loudly on my computer this morning. Takes the edge off the hangover. Marvellous stuff. Amazon is pretty cool - I ordered £50 of essential stuff at 5pm Monday and it arrived 20 minutes ago. And now I am writing about it.
Oh and what have Unchained Melody and Bohemian Rhapsody got in common? They form part of that small set of tunes that have lyrics but the title of the piece do not appear in the lyrics.
like the birdie song.

i thought the lyrics went 'la la lala la la la, la la lala la la la, lala lala lala la - la la la la' etc
