Queen didn't just rock the music world in their prime. They smacked the living sh!t out of it...and we loved every minute of it!

[@susanneg2824]

So well said, man.

[@coffee838]

then he died of the gay virus gg no re

[@cr4a2zy0hemp8]

Hell ya we dad! My first concert was Queen, I was 12 yrs old!

[@vernhoke7730]

This was a double A side single with "Fat Bottomed Girls" of their "Jazz" album. If you remember toward the end of that song Freddie sings ""Get on your bikes and Ride"!

[@ShaunHensley]

Yup

[@tehmcfogarty6813]

Believe it or not I kind have a crush on the "Jazz" Album, especially "Fun It" sung by Taylor, even though Jazz wasn't intended to be the genre of "Jazz". It was an old school "line". I remember saying to people: "Don't give me that jazz!" aka BS. I'm freakin'old.

[@MW-ni6zp]

@@tehmcfogarty6813 Jazz is one of their best albums. Had it on cassette when it first came out.

[@tehmcfogarty6813]

@@MW-ni6zp No way!! JAZZ is in the top 3 for me! I listened to it soooo many times on on my commute on the subway in NYC on my “cool” SONY WALKMAN. Damn I actually miss those days.

[@tehmcfogarty6813]

You have to actually watch BICYCLE RACE the OFFICIAL of course.

[@gertrudelaronge6864]

You are so right about this band having some exceptional brains. Brian May, founding member, guitarist, song writer, and producer of the band Queen, is also a Doctor of Astrophysics. Seriously, the guy is officially a genius.

[@tednewcomb1048]

Not to mention one of the greatest guitar players ever born ..

[@G-y_m]

You also have an engineer and a DDS

[@mikem8749]

That's why Queen was such a great band.

[@muzikman4399]

Back in the day we had bells on our bikes to “officially” announce our presence behind someone, similar to a car horn (some did have horns on their bikes. Lol). On concert days all local bicycle shops sold out of bells as people bought and used them in the audience during the performance of this song. (Audience participation!😎)

[@frankj10000]

I haven't owned a bike in a long time but don't they still have bells on them?

[@muzikman4399]

@@frankj10000 I suppose they can but I haven’t seen them on kids bike in a while and my grandkids have scooters instead of bikes (soon to be 10 and 6 year’s old) so I really don’t know.

[@clarenceflam]

They're pretty trendy and useful now, made a huge comeback - ding ding ding!!!

[@annaoswald5943]

Words Brad & Lex used to describe this song. Interesting, different, simple but hard, surprising, tough, talent, fun, and musically rich. All apply and are correct. Fun reaction loved it!

[@thunderspike1892]

Queen made a lot of different music in their early days. Songs like Stone Cold Crazy and Sheer Heart Attack were a little mix between heavy and punk with a rock flavour. Funny fact are that Sheer Heart Attack were the title of their third album from 1974 but the song itself was released on their sixth album News of the World in 1977. In between came their classic albums A Day at the Races and A Night at the Opera. Actually titles of two old Marx Brothers movies. Also check out Tie Your Mother Down

[@antoniomaraspin]

In the later days too

[@deborahcornell171]

"Queen & Led Zeppelin just always keep it interesting." Exactly! One of the many reasons they're both truly legendary!!💙☮💙

[@sylmyl]

And elo 😁 deep purple

[@vanjalavoie550]

Among my favourites.

[@Cadinho93]

You guys should react to… Queen - Innuendo 🎸🤘

[@kookiemonster3261]

Easily their hardest song. Good too, last album thouh.

[@adiwinoto8112]

Can’t wait 💕

[@michaelbrooks2670]

If you want to really rock with Queen, try “Dragon Attack”. You’ll have to listen to it four times. Once for each member and their awesomeness on that song.

[@adamsgrad93]

That's my favorite of all their songs. That bass line is killer!

[@leefreed2060]

Hell yes. Their best song.

[@alwaysengines]

Yessss!

[@normalasamsudin1891]

OMG. Yes.

[@jhamler1]

Yes. Dragon Attack is probably the bestest Queen song that wasn't a big hit. Although I really like Death on Two Legs and Tenement Funster, as well.

[@tehmcfogarty6813]

Queen's "BICYCLE RACE" is usually played AFTER "FAT BOTTOM GIRLS" There are 2 really good backstories to these 2 Songs. 1 is kinda long, but it's how & what "INSPIRED" Brian & Freddie to each write one & a "PERSONAL" backstory. 🤫😉 Sincerely, Terry (Teh) Anne Fogarty a.k.a. ORIGINAL FAT BOTTOM GIRL from O.H.B., QUEENs, NYC, in OK Now 😳

[@s.mcpherson6354]

It was great watching you watch this. Not that he's not a genius, but I'd like to recommend that you guys consider doing a Queen song that *isn't* sung by Freddie. Maybe '39, or I'm in Love With my Car? To me, Brad described musical genius in this one. When we think that a song is so creative that it could not have come from any other brain other than it's composer's, because it is so unlike any other song, *that* is a very hard thing to do using the same 12 notes as everyone else. Most of the songs that accomplish that feat are famous.

[@kevineather3841]

I’m in love with my car, straight up after Lazing on a Sunday afternoon. Like on the album.

[@tadanott300]

Great reaction. This song is really underrated. Makes me smile everytime. It's like a FU to responsibility. He just wants to ride his bicycle, dangit.

[@tammyjackson3113]

In the video a bunch of naked girls are riding bicycles, Queen had to pay for all the bicycle seats😅Freddie was watching the TOUR de France bike race and wrote the song.

[@cometogether999]

Please do "Death on Two Legs" by Queen.

[@tommack9395]

In the 70's more Queen songs were progressive utilizing mixed genres, changing time-signatures and both abrupt and flowing transitions because progressive music was more accepted and viable then. If you listen to a Queen Album from the 70's it's all over the place... News of the World for instance - songs like We are the champions, sleeping on the sidewalk, who needs you and melancholy blues. The decade started on the heels of the 60's and pop/rock artist were intent on musical integrity and complexity... many artist were composing 8 to 45+ minute songs - ELP, Yes, Genesis, Tull, King Crimson, Rush, etc... Then again you'd find a huge variety of styles because the old producers did not know what would sell well and what would not... so they allowed artist more freedom and took more chances. i.e. Established bands even the likes of Led Zep who started out as a blues rock band, crossed into many styles and genres... such as The Song Remains The Same, The Rain Song, Down By The Seaside, Kashmir, Fool In The Rain, etc... Frank Zappa explained this really well, Toward the end of the decade more producers were replaced and marketing departments were expanded so labels took less chance.

[@RoverWaters]

Queen was a hit/single kind of band most progressive bands weren't Queen had an eclectic style like the Beatles.

[@carlroza102]

That was the exact reaction Queen wanted you to have😜 it’s supposed to be a fun song

[@johnmcdermid6896]

Queen songs don't come under the one banner, they can do every genre of music, would still like to hear 'spread your wings' written by John Deacon the bassist..

[@imweakfordeaky]

I second the vote for “Spread Your Wings”, that wonderful John Deacon- penned masterpiece !

[@bonsai67]

I guess that kind of thinking comes with the fact not growing up with all different kinds of music. E.g., if you grow up in an era where rap and hiphop and that is the only type of music (assuming the term 'music' applies to that genre) you hear I guess it is hard to differentiate other types of music. You wouldn't think that one band can make different sounding songs.

[@brennankelley4932]

The thing with Queen is you have a new favorite song every week.

[@jamielandis4308]

The ringing is a bunch of bicycle bells. Love this song; one of the first Queen songs I ever heard.

[@brobinson7978]

Brad, not only is this song all over the place, Queen's entire catalog is all over the place. You always know it's them, but very few of their songs sounded alike.

[@marcdewey1242]

Amazing at how four men can harmonize so well together and sound like a entire choir.

[@nataliebagshaw2773]

👍👍👍👍👍❤

[@deboragill4756]

Get Down Make Love is cool also. Killer Queen, tribute band is coming to my town in Pa. Soon. Hard to imitate Freddy. A fun song and many to come. My small grandson use to love this song. He's now 19.

[@lcbcreative]

A copy of Queen's Greatest Hits has been in every car I ever owned because it would keep all generations happy. Nothing like a back seat of kids singing along to every track! This was always a favorite. Fun reaction!

[@doddy11767]

Never a dull day with Freddie...

[@s.jackman7684]

I think the song is a lament to the lost innocence of childhood. The carefree days when learning to ride a bicycle, the most complicated thing in early childhood. Then school began, we grew up, and our innocence was lost, Yes?

[@joepaskowski9091]

How do you think of a song like this? Freddie says it in the lyrics: ‘You say coke, I say cane’ Lol Nice shirt Brad & greetings from Tampa…Go Bucs! LFG!

[@bc2297]

If only everybody could have their own Lex. No offence Brad, you’re great and everyone can see the love between the two of you. Best reactions.

[@victorvisser403]

She is a treasure. I think she's lucky to have Brad. They are a cute couple.

[@johnpublicprofile6261]

You broke the golden rule of Queen reactions. NEVER react to lyric videos, ALWAYS watch the Queen studio release video 1st. Live versions often worth doing as well at a later date, but always safest to start with the official video with Queen.

[@Matt..G]

Always love your legit, honest reactions 🤙🏼

[@TheSundanceKid71]

I request "I Want it all"

[@Tiggermk4]

Loved this reaction… oh, Lex you are such a “rock chick”…lol 😂! Wishing you both all the best with the channel😊

[@freedomfan3277]

Queen was the master of rock opera.

[@carlroza102]

Hey guys I have a gray queen song for you and it’s called “death on two legs”

[@DrumsTheWord]

More and more and more...and more Queen please x

[@DrumsTheWord]

Love your reaction at the end :D

[@kookiemonster3261]

These kids waiting for more was great.

[@richardcook9794]

Bycycle riding was a euphemism for a LSD Trip

[@imthemanntoo]

"Tie Your Mother Down" is a Queen rocker. "You're My Best Friend" and "Spread Your Wings" are great slightly slower rocking tunes. "Flash" is from the 'Flash Gordon' movie soundtrack, of which Queen provided the whole movie soundtrack. The older the Queen songs, the better. Their 70s tunes are their best.

[@furiogiunta7886]

When I was a little kid and didn't know how to ride a bike yet, my older brother and his friends would terrorize me by riding circles around me singing this song. "I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike" knowing damn well I couldn't ride a bike. Ice wholes.

[@ShaunHensley]

Cork-soakers

[@moyesboy1]

They once watched a part of the "Toure de France",the most famous bicycle race in the world, when they were in France. So the idea for this song was born.Greetings from Germany.

[@johnlong9534]

People would take bicycle bell to their concerts (in Europe) and everyone would ring them during this song.

[@bostonwhofan]

You should react to the version of Bicycle Race filmed at a bike track where there's about 50 completely nude women (except for socks and sneakers) in a competitive race. The video is on youtube. Warning, it does contain full frontal female nudity. I remember there was a lot of controversy back in the day when this was originally filmed.

[@williambarlow9498]

I love you guys, you have the best reactions. Keep up the good work.

[@jenniferjacobs228]

This is so much fun...come on...it's great...hahahahahah Let's go back to childhood and ride bicycles and forget all the heavy adult stuff? So creative.

[@simontyne3032]

The official video would have shocked them.

[@tinakeith5822]

They should’ve watched the video!!!! I was hoping they did!

[@nathans3241]

You may want to check out these Queen songs: Killer Queen, Death On Two Legs, and I'm In Love With My Car. There are much more interesting songs as well. Queen II on side black (2nd side) is amazing.

[@SilentBob731]

Among the various compliments I could give this band, one of the most important is that they were different...consistently. Their style is that They Were Style (and had the music to back it up).

[@04m11]

You should see the official video of this song 😈

[@longfootbuddy]

what a careless masterpiece

[@lightsideofthemoon13]

They made a "video" video of this song that would of been priceless to see both of you to react too. Either way great song and reaction.

[@retiredfirelt586]

I'm digging the old school Bucs shirt Brad.

[@hellopaulie]

Haha, glad you enjoyed the ride!

[@davidspicer4330]

The only group to have had all members of the group to have written a no1 song.

[@jodymohler]

Check out the soundtrack from the 80's movie Flash Gordon. Queen did the entire soundtrack. AMAZING!

[@mikehudson5121]

That was a perfect reaction!!

[@Pixelologist]

I absolutely LOVE this track (I love the whole album) and it's always fun to watch folks listening to it for the first time. Sometimes they love it and sometimes they hate it - there doesn't seem to be much in between on Bicycle Race. LOL!

[@leoniegroot9018]

If you want to have more songs like bohemian rhapsody there are two other songs that are called ‘Brian May’s bohemian rhapsody’ and that is the song ‘the profets song’, furthermore there is innuendo and the nickname for that one is ‘bohemian rhapsody’s brother’ please check those out!

[@darrenbent7601]

I'm glad that you are watching this version and not the official video, you might be offended by it [70s style nudity].

[@Malryth]

Queen is undefined!!! I'm glad you enjoyed this song. It is sampled on many local radio stations with contests of winning a bicycle. Oh and and getting back in touch with your Youth. C'mon!!! You can't be the feeling of loosing yourself in childhood and forgetting about all that Adult BS. That is what this song represents to myself...

[@stevewynter4519]

The "JAZZ" album is full of surprises no more than the opening track "MUSTAPHA" classic Queen with a middle eastern feel really threw me when i first heard it

[@Blisteryn]

"Death on two legs" is my favorite song by Queen.

[@dalenikolitch8338]

Yes!!! Love this song🥰 So Fun n Different✌🤣😜

[@spyretto]

I don't think there are "down" Queen songs, it's just that you need to listen to them again.

[@changingworld7467]

Do their Live Aid concert...a masterpiece.

[@stevedavis5704]

I remember the scandal that was caused by the naked lady bicyclers that lead my home town radio station to destroy their copy of this album.

[@Nazman06]

Another 70s bicycle song is "My White Bicycle " by Nazareth. And for roller skates you can check out "Brand New Key" by Melanie.

[@markmyers6472]

:D one word... Neurotic? I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

[@IAmWeasel98]

Please watch Stone Cold Crazy (Live at the Rainbow) to hear/see another Queen

[@woodymeadows9363]

THE PROPHET SONG!!!! THEIR BEST!!!!!

[@janzimny1977]

Maybe try Innuendo by Queen, it’s similar to Bohemian Rhapsody!

[@thunderspike1892]

Bicycle Race was on the album Jazz. It was delivered with a poster of naked women on bikes about to start a Bicycle Race. The poster were not included in the United States. Today people would probably call it politically incorrect. If you check out the album on Queen's Wikipedia there are a copy under the release notes

[@gillesdumais2856]

I buy my album in canada and i have the poster

[@frankj10000]

I still have the poster on my wall. (don't judge me)

[@KGP2010]

The original video features the nude women racing.

[@donmooney21]

This song had to be a bet. "Hey Queen, I bet you cant write a good song about a bicycle." "Well be right back." -Queen.

[@peterreist2882]

Total earworm tune. Be singing it all day 🙃

[@lindastodola691]

Brad- in the video- completely nude girls are riding bikes around Wembley- it was wild!

[@robertreichle1]

This song should have been a complete failure based on the lyrics alone, but they did so many amazing things with it that only they could do... they made a classic out of it.

[@John_Locke_108]

Their music and Freddie's vocals can overcome any lyrics.

[@darreneditzs192]

My fav queen song is dragon attack

[@yarnhoarderakafiberartfrea3592]

OMG Lex is me!! I love Queen and Led Zeppelin. What is funny is I was born in late 70s and hated my parents music...which was Rush...Queen..Led..all the greats. It wasn't until I was in my teens and adult years that I found myself really loving classic Rock. Who is also one of my all time favorites, I would like to recommend the Tommy album. I love this channel and revisiting so many great songs that I have now come to appreciate. I love watching reaction both of your reactions to these songs and reading the comments section. I bounce from comments to your reactions so it seems to take me double the time to get through on video, but so worth it!!

[@kellycrook543]

Queen was so much better than led zepplin. Queen and Freddie are legends....zepplin is Not!!!

[@DukeEnlil]

Please react to Queen - Mustapha and also Queen - Get Down Make Love....these two will blow Your minds!)))

[@sagan666]

Try Show Must Go On. Done as Freddie was about to check out. Powerful stuff.

I don't understand the lyrics but I like the song.

[@TheRealSweetcherryo]

[@Bekka_Noyb]

You gotta check out Queen - Keep Yourself Alive!

[@gassie62]

This or "Fat bottom girls" you need to watch the actual promotional video that goes with.. I believe fbg has the girls on bicycles

[@greggkotzman2542]

apologies if this was already posted... The greatest thing about the album was that it came with a 1x3 ft poster of naked woman all riding bicycles. (me can see some of this in the official video.)
