The Song’s “musical” Bridge Section Was Performed Entirely By Mercury And Taylor Using Their Voices

The song’s “musical” bridge section was performed entirely by Mercury and Taylor using their voices alone, with Taylor at one point hitting the highest note on the whole album a C6. Mercury imitates woodwind instruments including a clarinet. Taylor voices mainly brass instruments such as tubas and trumpets, and even a kazoo. The tap dance segment is also “performed” by Mercury and Taylor on the mixing desk with thimbles on their fingers. Freddie (about Seaside Rendezvouz) “Another of my songs, Seaside Rendezvous, has a 1920’s feel to it and Roger Taylor does a tuba and clarinet on it vocally, if you see what I mean. I’m going to make him tap dance too, I’ll have to buy him some Ginger Rogers tap shoes.”

i think the funniest thing about the Paul Is Dead theory is that Fake Paul still had that homoerotic relationship with John. imagine being John Lennon and your best friend since you were 16 whom you are also in love with dies in a car crash and is replaced with a lookalike and you’re like. whelp. i guess i have to be in love with Fake Paul too. and then you go through one of the messiest divorces in music history.

I wouldn't have survived the 60s cuz I would've been too scared of the doobie and they'd kick me the fuck out of Peter Tork's drug fueled orgy.

I just have to say it's always funny to me from the vantage point of being a fan of classical music and classic rock (i.e. old or dead white men up the wazoo) how much the pop girlie fandom just can't acknowledge that their favorite singer has any faults. You can believe Chappell Roan's music is fun, her persona is cool, even believe it's all revolutionary (I don't agree with this personally but I get it from coming from baby queers, I get what she means to them, and also I do think someone who makes drag such a big part of her persona is a big deal given The Times We Are Living In Right Now)... you can believe something I would agree with, that she's a good songwriter and one who is particularly good at translating her experiences as a lesbian into accessible top-40 pop... you can believe this and also believe she's kind of an ignorant dummy about electoral politics. It's true of a lot of talented people! It's true of a lot of people who are informed and smart about other things! But it's also like, the absolute least fault to have to admit about a pop musician you like? I'm just saying you guys would not survive being a fan of The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Mozart - and those are just mainstream musical titans, not even more obscure ones - for more than five minutes!!!!

i wonder if beatlemania people talked abt the beatles the same way people nowadays do. like was there a 15 year old girl in her bedroom in 1964 staring at a poster of paul mccartney saying “hes so cute i need to put him in a blender on high speed” while her friend nods excitedly
