I've been watching entirely too many Queen videos on YouTube this past week, and as a result I've had a pretty fun time putting this post together. It also means I've made no progress updating the rest of my old posts, but oh well.
Among my YouTube finds was an interview where Freddie was talking about Queen's music videos, and how he didn't want a video to alter the listener's own impression of the song too much, so the band purposely made their videos kind of vague and bizarre—without any clear message—so as not to impose on anyone's personal image of the song. Inspired by this, I put together a Top 5 Random Queen Music Videos that fit the bill pretty well:
- It's A Hard Life - just a really good excuse to dress up
- We Will Rock You - snowy backyard music video...they look so cold!
- I Want to Break Free - already mentioned this one in an earlier post but it's just so perfect
- I'm Going Slightly Mad - I guess this one actually fits the song, but I like the video regardless
- The Miracle - kids as Queen = cute, but also weird
Top 5 Roger Taylor Falsettos Because in addition to being super adorable, his upper vocal range is CRAZY!
- In the Lap of the Gods
- '39 - I am in love with this song btw
- Bohemian Rhapsody - a cappella version for maximum clarity
- Somebody to Love - the whole song, sooo good
- My Fairy King

Brian, BE HAPPIER ABOUT THAT SOMBRERO. IT LOOKS GREAT ON YOU.
Man, I can't believe it's taken me this long to go through a Queen phase. They are such a great band. I'm sure I'll be back with more soon.
