  1. "Killer Queen" is a song by the British #rock band #Queen. It was written by lead singer #FreddieMercury and recorded for their third album #SheerHeartAttack in 1974. It reached number two in the #UKSinglesChart and became their first US hit, reaching number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is about a high-class #callGirl and has been characterised as "Mercury's piano-led paean to a #Moët-quaffing #courtesan".

  2. “…and love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night…”

    I think I first heard this song 30-ish years ago.

    Every…single…time…I have to choke back a tear at that line.

    Just the absolute greatest song I’ve ever heard. Sung by two people who know everything about being different.

    I write this because my youngest has just entered a phase where all they want to sing is queen all over the house. I couldn’t be prouder 💜

  6. Adrienne Rich named heterosexuality as an institution — not a default — in 1980. Forty-six years before a pastor tried to call its opposite a pathogen. Freddie Mercury filled stadiums as a queer man who refused to be made smaller. We hold their names like tools.

  9. Another of my favorite silly love songs...

    "Oh, you're the first one
    When things turn out bad
    You know I'll never be lonely
    You're my only one
    And I love the things
    I really love the things that you do
    Oh, you're my best friend"

    - #Queen, 1975

  10. "And we mean to go on, and on, and on and on

    We are the champions, my friends
    And we'll keep on fighting till the end
    We are the champions, we are the champions
    No time for losers, 'cause we are the champions of the world"

    - #Queen, 1977

  11. "Buddy, you're a young man, hard man
    Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday
    You got blood on your face, you big disgrace
    Waving your banner all over the place

    We will, we will rock you, sing it, oh
    We will, we will rock you"

  12. 𝗘𝘅 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗮𝗻 '𝗴𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿'

    Mary Austin, de ex en beste vriendin van Freddie Mercury, gelooft weinig van de bewering dat de Queen-frontman in het geheim een dochter zou hebben gehad. In een interview met The Times zegt ze dat het bestaan van een kind "verbazingwekkend" zou zijn.

  14. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song by the British rock band #Queen, released as the lead single from their fourth studio album, #ANightAtTheOpera (1975). Written by lead singer #FreddieMercury, the song is a six-minute #suite, notable for its lack of a #refrainingChorus and consisting of several sections: an #intro, a #ballad segment, an #operatic passage, a #hardRock part and a reflective #coda.
