The Art of Bohemian Rhapsody Song by Queen

The mysterious man behind the rocking 70’s Queen Band is Freddie Mercury. The Queen front man who sang the undying Bohemian Rhapsody, the nice song is a mix of classical and punk rock lyrics and notes molded into one. The tone is definitely unique. Freddie’s vocal genius led the way to the song’s super stardom.

It is very quite unusual for a song to become so popular considering that "Bohemian Rhapsody" plays within 6 minutes. The song is depicting a stream of consciousness nightmare, and very very unusual. Take note that the song has no chorus. It consists of disjunct sections including operatic segments and an a capella and a heavy rock part.

It became a huge commercial success. Freddie Mercury gave a copy to DJ Kenny Everett, informing him not to play it on air actually Freddie wanted it to be popular. It is just applying reverse psychology to Everett. Everett teased his listeners by playing only parts of the song. Audience demand intensified when Everett played the full song on his show 14 times in two days. Fans were queuing up in music stores just to buy the mysterious Queen Song. But Store owners complained that they don’t have a copy of the album yet.

The song dominated the UK Christmas Charts which held the position for nine weeks. "Bohemian Rhapsody" was the first song ever to get to number one twice with the same version. Upon Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991, on the following year, the song reached # 01 for 5 weeks.
Bohemian Rhapsody ranked #163 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
