Bohemian Rhapsody

by

This evening, while checking out new posts on Facebook, I came across this gem.

I see a little silhouetto of a man

Well, Lori and I thought it was hysterical, since we both fell right into the trap. Megan, who is 10, didn’t get it.

So, after Lori and I did a poorly-performed duet of the song verses in question, I went to YouTube and found a video of Queen performing Bohemian Rhapsody and had Megan listen to it. She gave me lots of weird "What the heck is THIS?" looks while the song was playing, but she then understood (as much as a 10-year-old can understand her parents’ ancient memories).

The kicker to this little story comes from one of the commenters on the YouTube video. An hour later and I’m still chuckling over it.

I hate it when people compare Freddie Mercury to God. He is good but for fuck’s sake, he is not Freddie Mercury.

Thanks, speslqueen, for that wonderful bit of cleverness!

Spooky Wave of Nostalgia!!!

I just saw a link from John Moltz that referenced this site. Like him, I had totally forgotten about owning this album! I had the orange version when I was around eight years old.

Check out the site for larger versions. It even has scans of the record cover insert which had all kinds of party planning ideas. I remember making all the invitations, though I can’t remember if I actually had the party or not.

Good times. Good times.
