He wants it all, and he wants it now.

That's expected when you're a prince of the universe

He had no rival. No one could be his equal.

He'll save every one of us

For me its just keep smashing Don't Stop Me Now, man that song makes me feel awesome like I can do anything.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] dumbass@leminal.space 8 points 1 month ago

Its one of the few songs I have stored fully in my head ready to be played back.

\10 Katrina & the Waves, "Walking on Sunshine"
\9 Gloria Gaynor, "I Will Survive"
\8 Bon Jovi, "Livin' on a Prayer"
\7 Cyndi Lauper, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"
\6 The Monkees, "I'm a Believer"
\5 Survivor, "Eye of the Tiger"
\4 Billy Joel, "Uptown Girl"
\3 Beach Boys, "Good Vibrations"
\2 ABBA, "Dancing Queen"
\1 Queen, "Don't Stop Me Now"\

I wholeheartedly agree with that list, just singing the songs in my head as I read the list got me moving.

[–] Chekhovs_Gun@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

This is my thought EXACTLY. If a song was a hype man, this would be the ultimate hype man. It would get me to do anything....ANYTHING! (waitaminute)

[–] F04118F@feddit.nl 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't stop me, don't stop me, hey hey hey HEEY

Have a good time, good time.

[–] mkuznetsoff@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

oooooh fucking awesome guitar solo

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

(sorry to ruin the chain, but this is genuinely why Freddie's solo career never really took off, because his hyperbolic vocals neatly complemented Brian May's amazing guitar skills. Together they were amazing. With Queen they were gods. Alone, they were only great.)

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 6 points 1 month ago

Don't forget John's golden simplicity in bass loops

[–] mkuznetsoff@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

(Freddie's solo career was about him, not about Queen. He didn't have to make hits with the band. I don't know what your comment was referring to.)

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

(I'm saying that quoting Queen without the guitar solos gives Freddy too much credit, as shown by his somewhat tame solo career.)

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Huh I never thought about it like that.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ooooooooh, I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah

[–] mkuznetsoff@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

This could go on forever:)

I want to know who the hell downvoted Freddie.

Weird losers

[–] pingveno@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Someone with very large fingers?

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

A+ effort and maintained original meme format. gj

[–] SirDerpy@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth,

Here's to the future, hear the cry of youth,

I want it all, I want it all,

I want it all, and I want it now.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I went to Queen the Musical earlier this year, which was a Queen cover band. The guy who played Freddie was really almost as good as he was. What a pleasure that show was.

[–] christopher@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Sounds like an excellent show

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As an aside, if you’re an iOS user and use Siri, tell it “I see a little silhouette of a man”.

[–] cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not an iOS user. Does she quote the next line?

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Siri recites the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody for that part of the song. But instead of saying “I’m just a poor boy” it says “I’m just a poor assistant”. And Siri does it in its normal deadpan emotionless voice.

[–] ValenThyme@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

set Siri to irish voice and she's way more endearing!

[–] Entropywins@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Nah siri gets super mad and says some expletives.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

Really though, there's no wrong answer here.

RIP Freddie.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

All of those have hidden homosexual messages.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not sure how well-hidden it is in Don't Stop Me

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

"Cause I'm having a good time, I'm having a ball"

[–] pickscrape@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

"I want to break free" was written by John Deacon.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

When do we defeat the Huns?

[–] Batman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It's time for you to answer the big questions, Freddie. It's time for you to look inward and answer, what do YOU want.

What fresh he'll is this...

Song. You are supposed to listen it.
