@Jamel_AKA_Jamal I really think you need to check this amazing human out... Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu (22 January 1971 - 25 July 2017), also referred to since his death as Dr G Yunupingu, was an Indigenous Australian musician. Born blind Geoffrey was a multi-instrumentalist, he played drums, keyboards, guitar (a right-hand-strung guitar played left-handed) and didgeridoo, but it was the clarity of his singing voice that attracted rave reviews. He sang stories of his land both in Yolŋu languages such as Gaalpu, Gumatj or Djambarrpuynu, a dialect related to Gumatj, and in English. Although his solo career brought him wider acclaim, he was also formerly a member of Yothu Yindi, and later Saltwater Band. He was the most commercially successful Aboriginal Australian musician at the time of his death. Here's the link for one of his songs love and peace. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqetgYt3i5WYeJY

Rogerina is a cute girl. The problem is Americans don't understand British humor. Check out Monty Python, you'll see men dressed as women quite regularly. Also when he's talking about how Freddie gets into the role he's totally correct. Freddie was an entertainer and threw himself into every role. No one could control a crowd like Freddie. Check out the Live aid show, and others where he works the crowd.

[@FIDreams]

idk, there has been a few popular crossdressing males. One of the earliest that comes to mind is Milton Berle. Others off the top of my head were John Candy, and John Ritter. But what do I know? I'm an American who likes British humor. Grew up with my father watching UK shows like 'Black Adder', 'Are You Being Served', and 'Mr. Bean'. With 'Are You Being Severed' My personal favorite. :)

[@RickTBL]

I'm an American who watched Monty Python's Flying Circus on TV as far back as 1974, when I was in high school, and then there was The Avengers, in the 60's. I was a huge Emma Peel fan as a child. I remember watching To The Manor Born, with Penelope Keith, somewhere back there. So when I hear people talk about Americans not understanding British Humour, I can't help feeling that you are coming up just a tad short, in your research.

@@ginnyjuraniec1955 He did shave it for that part in particular, the video was almost entirely put together and that was a different session where they shot Freddie interacting with the ballet dances and he shaved his mustache for that part in particular, I don't recall if that part was planned form the begining or somehow the opportunity to have the dancers on the video came up and it was done but the idea was to have Freddie dancing and crossdressed with his shaved face all along but in the end they thought it was hilarious to have seductive sassy Freddie with his mustache and all and that it was too funny to left it out of the video and al that was shot with Freddie sporting his signature mustache of the 80's era…

Literally every single human who ever lived can personally relate to this song that's how great it is

[@elizium5892]

[@TheHaplorhine]

Freddie was a great fan of Ballet; the dance sequence included members of the English National Ballet and was based upon L'apres Midi d'n faune by Debussy. The crowd sequence of men in miner's hats was a nod to the coal strikes that were happening at the time. Altogether a great video of a terrific song, thank you for reacting to it.

[@qfiona]

To be more specific it’s based on the njinsky version of afternoon of a faun(the same ballet I just called it by its English name because I don’t want to try typing in French lol). Yes there are 2 ballets was of the name and they are totally different

[@TheHaplorhine]

@@qfiona Nijinsky, the great Russian dancer was the original choreographer of Debussy's music in 1911. Few male leads were able to perform the piece the way Nijinsky notated it and it was re notated in the 1980s, for Nureyev, I believe. Two interpretations of the same dance, but effectively one piece.

[@qfiona]

Actually there is a rather distinct difference in the Nijinsky and Jerome Robbins ballets ... the Jerome ballet day a set in a studio and is a duet... Ok I just totally nerded out on a ballet on a reaction video of a queen song notorious for having the band in drag lol. I might need a life

One of my favourite music videos. 😂❤️ The first part is based on Coronation Street soap opera based in Manchester that had been on our British television screens since the 60’s. Surprisingly this was not Freddie’s original idea. He just went along with it!

[@oscaralexandermartinez4583]

Thanks for the feed back on this video...awesome song

[@zoemn24]

Oscar Alexander Martinez It really is... I was born in the late 90’s but my parents brought me up on the music that they grew up with. Coronation Street is still on the television here in the UK 6 times a week (we have just gone back to six episodes per week after filming was suspended due to Covid-19 but have still been getting 3 episodes per week). I only learned by watching people like Jamel react to this song that it wasn’t Freddie’s idea! SIDE NOTE: Roger Taylor looks like Raquel one of the characters in Coronation Street in this video. Well to me he does anyway. 😂 You are very welcome Oscar.

[@kleinnel]

It's also been on tv in Canada since then. It was my mother's favourite soap opera and eventually my dad started watching it as well. I love the fact that Freddie has his moustache while dressed up as a woman in this video. Makes me laugh every time, especially when he does the little lip movement on that first closeup.

[@zoemn24]

kleinnel Wow! That’s amazing I knew that Corrie had quite a big Canadian following but I didn’t know that it went so far back. Thank you for telling me that! I have been watching since I was little and I’m 23 now... I have been watching ‘Classic Corrie’ after itv started showing all the episodes they made from 1990. I wonder how long they can keep that going as they show two episodes per day! We are on 97/98 now. I see that your Dad was drawn into it and probably started secretly liking it himself. It is quite a contrast isn’t it, it’s so fun and lighthearted, although at the time it was deemed highly offensive and unnatural. I personally love it, but maybe that has something to do with the generation I’m from although there were people who fully supported the video at the time.

It isn't. The song is written by bassplayer John Deacon, who was getting fed up with Brians compulsory guitar solo, so he put in a keyboard solo. Deacon wrote another one bites the dust, which was a huge hit with American R&B audiences in 1980. The cross-dressing in I want to break free, a mere four years later, was a bit much for the prudish Americans, which caused a downfall for Queens popularity in the States.

No - Pencil full of Lead Jools Holland first ? Please?

[@mmiller1296]

It was based on a British soap Opera, the other parts, are when Freddie was in a ballot show, He is so super talented.

4:28 - That, my friend, is a synth. John Deacon, who wrote the song, insisted he didn't want guitar solos in the song, so they got Fred Mandel, a canadian musician who usually collaborated with Queen, to create and play a synth solo. Brian May only played the solo on guitar live.

Hahaha yes!

Went top 10 in the likes of Australia,France, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Germany but only made it as high as 45 in the US. The official video was just to much for the US back in the day and gained very little play time on the likes of MTV.

Too much?

@@debbiewilliamson3652 yes, the video was banned from airing on MTV in the US because of the crossdressing

Queen is my favorite band of all time, and recently I have been taking a break from them, but watching this video made me remember how much I love them 🤣. Thank you!

Roger Taylor makes a very attractive transvestite, it almost confused me as a kid. Can you believe Roger is now 71 (in 2020)

[@jj48]

Wow. I've listened to this song for years, and I've never seen the music video before. Definitely adds a new element.

[@kitoyobeni1]

That moment of bliss when the harmonized guitars enter, establishing the band's sound. Despite their sonic adventures, they always have a moment to bring it all back home.

[@debbiewilliamson3652]

It's that Queen sound!

[@pat_in_va8605]

A little backstory on this video. MTV started in 1981. Their big thing was that they would not be ruled by the sponsors. No censorship. Not refusing things they way radio was doing. In '84 Queen made this video based on a British soap opera title Coronation Street, the opening stacks, and the "characters" are straight from the t.v. show. The video hit MTV here and sponsors put pressure on the higher-ups of MTV. Before you could shake a finger they effectively "banned" this as leading to transvestism and such. The Brits thought we were nuts. The Mid-Western states freaked out and this was one of the main reasons that main-stream America turned cold on Queen.

[@alexjohnson2068]

Loved your reaction! Thanks, one of my favourites

[@rosskirby507]

The bass player John Deacon wrote this song and many others including Another one bites the dust

[@rosaleencrabtree9471]

That's just beautiful Freddie being himself

[@Gavrev]

My grandparents had the same hoover. Brilliant laugh from Queen with this one. Quintessential British humour revolving around Coronation Street, a popular TV soap which has been running since the 60's. Great song hehehe.

It took the whole Royal Ballet to make up for Freddie's missing mustache!

I loved your reaction to the music and the video. It's very much British humour so I'm glad you seemed quite amused by the video. I liked how you were grooving to the music as well, this is one of my favorite songs by Queen.

[@lawrenceabeyta3808]

I’m always here for more Queen.
