I’ll have to scrub my mind with Clorox after watching the first minute or so of the “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” video.
I love / loved that song, now I have an image of Freddie’s highly trafficked, leather-wrapped rear associated with it....
Re “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” - a “throwback” song as the introductory piece claimed? If that’s a throwback to good rock and roll - catchy tune, good lyrics, generally a rocking good song - then call me the Cro-Magnon of Music.
Loved to hear it back-to-back with Orleans’ song “You’re Still the One”.
Add to that Steeley Dan’s “Stuck in the Middle With You” the Rolling Stones’ “Brown Sugar” , and Brian Setzer’s “Rock This Town”. You can rock and “Bop till You Drop”.
Try that with the crap that passes for music today, I dare you, double dare you, double secret dare you!
Actually I liked the video for “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”. Those chicks were hot! In fact in my adolescent brain I thought how “lucky” Mercury was that he got to sleep with them after they wrapped. I had no idea about his “preferences” at the time.
