Erm...what?!

And even if one were to claim that Queen were one-hit wonders, which they most certainly were not, wouldn't their most recognizable hit have been "Bohemian Rhaposody"?

I had one of those moments when you look at the radio in disbelief and ask it if it's serious, hee! There was surreality.

And it was the Queen version, not Wes-Gunn-Cordy!

Oh, wait, "Bohemian Rhapsody" was their one hit!

Oh, no, wait, it was "We are the Champions!"

Oh, no wait, it was "Another Bites the Dust!"

Oh, no wait, it was "Killer Queen!"

Oh, no wait, it was "Get Down, Make Love"!

Oh, no wait....

Don't forget "Who Wants To Live Forever"!

And the WTF keeps on coming!

A big, honkin' WTF is the understatement of the century.

Queen was HUGE in their day!

I aim for understatement!

They're not unknown now! I was vastly amused, in that "you've got to be kidding" way.

Of the braintrust who picked this song for the weekend, I have only an icon to speak for me....

Perhaps the person who picked it, was very young and knew nothing about music from the 80 and 70'ties?

[atpolittlebit.livejournal.com]

What made this even funnier is the station in question? An Oldies station! They don't play anything later that the '80s!

Maybe they meant a cover version?!

[atpolittlebit.livejournal.com]

One would think so, but they were clearly playing the Queen version. Unmistakably.

Wow

Just wow.
