I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

News of the World
Keep applying the smelling salts!
Some are coming around.
Those standing on their feet...
Have them repeat, 'stimulus'
Continuously.
Until you are convinced,
They are under total hypnosis.
Do not allow those blindfolded...
And tied to their chairs,
One moment of silence.
We need them for our next conference.
Make sure they know each note and line,
To 'We Are the Champions'!
We need to sell this campaign!
To take all minds off the economic drain!
And make this News of the World!
Note:
'We Are the Champions'
Composed Freddie Mercury,
and performed by Queen in 1977.
From their album, News of the World.
Freddie Mercury on lead vocals.

Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and -sounds splendid.

One night Roger was in a foul mood and he threw his entire bloody drumset across the stage. The thing only just missed me - I might have been killed.

You know, I designed the Queen crest. I simply combined all the creatures that represent our star signs-and I don't even believe in astrology.

I was never too keen on the British music press. They've called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn't write our own songs.

Freddie Said
Freddie's got the dirt on
Everybody on the street
Don't know how he does it
But it isn't too discreet
Everybody says
It always winds up being true
He's got somethin' on everyone
Maybe even you!
Freddie know-oh yeah
Freddie goes-"Oh yeah,
I got the 411 in my head!"
That's what Freddie said
One night Freddie's goin' home
He's had a long, long day
When he see big Eddie
Runnin' out the alleyway
Freddie looks at the shadow
Of a body with a shrug
There's Slapsie layin' deader
Then an ugly fire plug
Freddie know-oh yeah
Freddie goes-"Oh yeah!"
I'll get the 411 to the feds!"
That's what Freddie said
[Talk:]
Personally i don't think that
Was such a wise move on freddie's part
If you see what i'm sayin'
Freddie now has the biggest news
He's ever had
But Eddie knows that Freddie knows
And man, you knows, thats's bad!
'cause next night
Freddie's walking home
Just like he did before
Badda-boom! badda-bang!
Badda-bing!
He won't be blabbin' anymore!
See Eddie said-"oh yeah!
Freddie's dead!-oh yeah
No more the 411 in his head
That's 'cause Freddie's dead
Now you know the skinny
All about the scuttlebutt
And the moral of this story is
To keep your big mouth shutt!
Cause Freddie said-"oh yeah!"
Now Freddie's dead!-oh yeah
I'll keep the 411 in my head!"
That's what Freddie should'a said

Songs To Aging Children Come
Through the windless wells of wonder
By the throbbing light machine
In a tea leaf trance or under
Orders from the king and queen
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one
People hurry by so quickly
Dont they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one
Some come dark and strange like dying
Crows and ravens whistling
Lines of weeping, strings of crying
So much said in listening
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one
Does the moon play only silver
When it strums the galaxy
Dying roses will they will their
Perfumed rhapsodies to me
Songs to aging children came
This is one
