You sure he didn't say, "..special place in his heart for A queen"?

It's Robinson, not Robertson. If they can't even get the name correct, I have to suspect everything in the piece.

"Big Balls" by AC/DC might be a good addition for the "bishop".

They should have used the song "Fat Bottomed Girls" instead.

Ladies and gentlemen, please turn in your hymnal to "Fat Bottom Girls"...

Robertson also said he was still considering adding a George Michael song to the 453-page hymnal: "'Faith' would be the obvious choice, but I've always kind of been partial to... (I Want Your) Sex.

[ "My hope is that the congregation can look past the non-traditional lyrical content and see that Freddy Mercury's melodies are just as uplifting as conventional Church hymns," Robertson said, adding that he's "always had a special place in [his] heart for Queen." ]

Has this *guy* looked at the lyrics? Does he know what the song is about?

"Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he's dead"

"Beelzebub has a devil set aside for me"

"Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all"

Yeah, THERE's some choir content! [sarc]

Don't knock it 'till you've read it. Sounds appropriate in Church to me!

Words and music by Freddie Mercury

Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I'm just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because I'm easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesn't really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didn't mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Body's aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....

No. They aren't. Not on this or any other planet. At any time. Period.
