This is a great song. →[More:]
I was never a huge Queen fan in the day, but as the years have gone by there are a few of their songs I've grown to love from hearing them on the radio, including this one. It highlights what a fantastic voice Freddy Mercury had.

This IS a great song.

When I was a kid in the 70s, I loved Queen, but then when I became a teenager I sorta thought I'd outgrown them. I'm back to being a fan now, though.

There's a lot to like about Queen. They never fell out of coolness with me.

I'm on dialup. Which song is it?

It's "Don't Stop Me Now." This song did/does not get much radio play in the U.S. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've never heard it on the radio.

Heh. I think I remember that. good song.

Queen has a great catalog worth creating your own "greatest hits" out of. My Best Friend is still a favorite song of mine, although it's been abused by commercials and such. It just has great energy, doesn't it? News of the World was one of the first albums I ever bought. And it's fun to toss A Kind of Magic and a couple songs off the Highlander (great film with some of ther worst sequels ever) soundtrack into a playlist now and again. Not to mention tons of other cool Queen tunes. Great band.

Wow. Of all Queen's songs, this is the most catchy and fun. It's a great end-of-the-night cheesy dance song.

Queen were, in the main, cool. There was a couple of really stinkingly bad albums (Hot Space and The Miracle spring to mind), but when they on form, they were stunning.

A friend of mine has written two books of poems based on their songs.

I can't hear this song without seeing that scene from Shawn of the Dead in my mind.

I love this song!

But I also love "Flash Gordon" -- "Klytus, I'm booooooored...."
