 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Queen
| Whose idea was it to dress up in drag for the "I Want to Break Free" video? | Queen-a-rama (apocalyptic_rabbit) |
Roger's. Although everybody was eager to dress up in the women's clothes, the original idea was Roger's. Funny that, eh?
| Whose idea was it to dress up in drag for the "I Want To Break Free" video? | Queen Guess Who (GeneralKala) |
Roger Taylor. If you guessed on this one then I suppose you put Freddie! This video is a parody of Britain's longest running soap "Coronation Street."
| Whose back yard did they use to film the videos for 'We Will Rock You' and 'Spread Your Wings'? | Intense Killer Queen (discodivafever) |
Roger Taylor. It was a blustery cold day and not a fun shoot for the band. The crew kept forgetting the member's names! Check out Roger's expression during the videos, he is not happy at all.
| Whose back garden were the videos for "We Will Rock You" and "Spread your Wings", filmed in? | Stone Cold Crazy Queen (christina15) |
Roger's. It was a cold winter day in 1977 and the band looked very cold and miserable. It took them a long hard day to film this video, and Roger was particulary miserable, as John accidentally stomped on his foot.
Notice Freddie's tatty gloves in this video? He borrowed them from a roadie because he forgot to bring his own. Poor Brian and John though, they had to play their guitars, and so couldn't wear gloves.
| Whose back garden was "Spread Your Wings" and "We Will Rock You" filmed in? | Queen (Watson465) |

Roger Taylor. All of the "speed" songs were written by Roger Taylor. Roger generally did not write as many songs as the other band members did.
| Who wrote "Seaside Rendezvous"? | Queen: Who Wrote What Song? (sparrow_freaks) |
Freddie Mercury. Freddie Mercury's music was notoriously experimental. Many of his songs brought out the more whimsical side to Queen's music----Freddie integrated countless genres ranging from opera to rockabilly in his music to form Queens distinctive sound. (Personally, Freddie Mercury is my favorite member of the group)
Brian May. May's lyrics were usually much more serious than Mercury's. Freddie Mercury and Brian May both wrote the most songs for Queen.
Roger Taylor . From the album "The Works" released in 1984. The video depicts the now legendary hand clapping sequence, it also uses footage from the silent Fritz Lang epic "Metropolis".
| Who wrote "Radio Ga Ga"? | Who Wrote This Queen Song? (iainscott2002) |
Roger Taylor. "Radio Ga Ga" was taken from the album "The Works" and got to Number 2 in the UK charts in 1984.
Roger Taylor. According to the Wikipedia: "Taylor originally conceived it as "Radio Ca-Ca" (apparently from something his toddler son once said), a slam against radio for the decrease in variety of programming and the type of music being played. It was eventually changed to "Radio Ga Ga", because it sounded better, clearer, and rolled off the tongue easier. There are rumors that the publishers objected to the original title (caca being Spanish and Dutch for crap, with much the same cultural connotations)."
| Who wrote "One Year of Love"? | Queen: Who Wrote What Song? (sparrow_freaks) |
John Deacon. Like I said, lots of John Deacon's songs were very sentimental. This song features Freddie belting in a scratchy voice, indicating his poor vocal health and a killer saxophone solo.
Brian May. I love this song. It was released on 17th January 1975. He wrote in in hospital to celebrate their very first European tour.
| Who wrote "Now I'm Here"? | Who Wrote This Queen Song? (iainscott2002) |
Brian May. "Now I'm Here" was taken from the album "Sheer Heart Attack" and got to Number 11 in the UK charts in 1975.
| Who wrote "No-one But You (Only The Good Die Young)"? | Who Wrote This Queen Song? (iainscott2002) |
Brian May. "No-one But You (Only The Good Die Young)" was taken from the album "Queen Rocks" and got to Number 13 in the UK charts in 1998.
John Deacon. "Misfire" came out on the "Sheer Heart Attack" album and is the first official song John Deacon wrote with Queen.
| Who wrote "Las Palabras de Amor"? | Queen: Who Wrote What Song? (sparrow_freaks) |
Brian May. This song was written with Queen's Hispanic fans in mind. This is such an underrated song-----"Las Palabras de Amor" has to be the prettiest song that Queen ever did, in my opinion.
| Who wrote "Killer Queen"? | Who Wrote This Queen Song? (iainscott2002) |
Freddie Mercury. "Killer Queen" was taken from the album "Sheer Heart Attack" and got to Number 2 in the UK charts in 1974.
