[@USCndaATL]

Maggie, you absolutely must see their Live Aid performance on KZbin. They stole the show. When Queen played this song, there were over 100,000 fans in Wembley Stadium doing the clap along with this song. Then, after the song, Freddie Mercury did an impromptu audio call and response with the audience that was historical in nature.

[@WoodMichaelA]

Some of the top replies for that video are also absolute gold.

[@RaptorJesus]

There has never been anyone, before or since, who has had a stage presence that could come close to, or could work a crowd like, Freddie Mercury. And he did it so *effortlessly.*

[@TristanandIsolt]

The problem with this song from the LiveAid performance is the words are very hard to understand. It's better to react to this for Radio Gaga.

[@Sassypaws4927]

"Radio Ga Ga" was written by the band’s drummer, Roger Taylor, this song reached the Top 40 of every major chart around the world. Its music video prominently features footage from the iconic 1926 German Sci-Fi movie Metropolis. Roger wrote this as a critique of radio stations, which were becoming commercialized and playing the same songs over and over (and this was before radio was deregulated, allowing companies to own multiple stations in a market, resulting in more corporate ownership, less competition, and generally bad radio). Taylor claimed that he was inspired to write this after watching MTV. He noticed that lots of kids were watching the channel instead of listening to the radio Originally, this was "Radio Ca-Ca," which was something Roger Taylor's part-French 3-year-old son, Felix exclaimed one day in trying to say the radio was bad ("radio, CA CA! - Ca-ca is French for poo). The phrase stuck with Roger and inspired the anti-commercial radio themes in the lyrics. Roger liked the title, but the rest of the group objected and asked for a rewrite. As a result, it went from a song condemning radio ("Ca-Ca") to praising it ("Ga Ga"). Interestingly, however, even in the final recorded version, the phrase "Ca-Ca" is sung - maybe as a compromise for Roger? Yes, Lady Gaga, got her stage name from the song. She is a big Queen fan. She chose her stage name because her music producer, Robert Fusari, told her that she reminded him of the famous Queen song "Radio Ga Ga". She took on the moniker proudly and changed her name because she wanted to create a new identity for herself that was unique and more representative of her music style and the messages she wanted to convey.

do the full live aid concert, this version there with the crowd is ..............................shakespeare didnt have the prose for how good it is

[@martynschickerling6176]

Live Aid version is much better. 👎👇

[@stefankrautz9048]

[@nightthornkvala94132]

@@martynschickerling6176 Let's just say Freddie Mercury and Queen totally owned the world in that short space of time.

[@neilburns8869]

Bearing in mind that Live Aid obviously wasn't a Queen concert and so wasn't really a Queen crowd - but the number of people who knew exactly when to clap - as Sir Brian May put it was a real spine-tingling moment because Queen had just won over a completely new generation of fans, much like what they did following the Bohemian Rhapsody movie.

[@christopherrobertson8098]

The lyrics are meant as a reference to radio always seeking to play the same types of song with no variation. The video c!ips are owned by queen after they purchased them from the German government and the estate of the film metropolis creator Fritz lang. Lady gave took her name from this song as a tribute to queen being a s she was a fan of the group.

[@peggyjackson3710]

Lady Gaga got her name from this song. She was trying to find a stage name and she listened to this song. She is a huge queen fan and the rest is history

[@Toobeegort]

As far as I am aware, Metropolis is the very first robot movie ever to be made, all the way back in 1927.

[@BMarie774]

Could y’all imagine if the world still had Freddie for much longer? I wish.. imagine the hits we never got to hear.

[@clarenceflam]

Roger Taylor the drummer who wrote this was inspired by his very young son at the time while listening to the radio said Radio Ca ca, and Roger had to agree. Lady Ga Ga indeed is named after this song. The irony of this song is that this was Queen's most famous video after Bohemian Rhapsody and indeed the song was made popular due to this great video...

[@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808]

Thanks! I was going to say this very thing. 😊

[@trevorward8496]

Based on Fritz Lang's film metropolis 1927 and yes that's where lady got her name

[@sadfaery]

This was my favorite song when I was 8 years old (when it first came out), and to this day, I cannot listen to it without doing the claps you see in the video.

[@Pawp6io6jx5i]

I'm 48 years old, I remember it was a huge expectation to see Queen's videos. Well, it was the most modern.

[@antonbernardo6995]

I hope you can also react to the Queen Live Aid 1985 concert.

[@neilburns8869]

About 3:08 is an iconic point in this particular music video. Why? The four guys on stage, looking out over a massive crowd of people - all putting their hands above their heads and clapping in unison. Now think of the Live Aid concert in 1985 and the exact same song! Then the same venue as Live Aid but April 92 and the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert with Paul Young.

[@arnodobler1096]

That live at Wembley 🤯

[@christopherstrong150]

Hi Maggie, so pleased you’re doing Queen radio gaga a little bit of information that is often missed. Freddie mentions War of the worlds and invaded by Mars. This is a reference to a program broadcast by CBS. I think with Orson Welles, broadcasting a version of HG Wells War of the worlds, which apparently upsetting awful lot of people who thought America was being invaded by Martians. yes, it really happened. Look it up.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thanks for the info! 🤗

[@hkynuts11]

97.8% of all Queen is better live than studio version. It’s the energy they put into the performance.

[@stuartfaulds1580]

to be fair Freddie once said during an interview that his best instrument was the Audience

[@randal_scandal]

This song lit off Queen’s Live Aid set and the crowd interaction. The greatest live set ever.

[@vrdragon12]

Freddie Mercury was just way ahead of his time. I consider this to be my favorite song by Queen.

[@iwantmyvanback]

Queen never ceases to amaze. Watching Freddie makes me so happy, I could cry. He exuded passion and happiness. I'm not crying, you're crying.

[@kendallneason3645]

Try Lily of the Valley, One Year of Love and of course You Take My Breath Away ( especially live 1976 Hyde Park) all Queen. These are incredible pieces with classical influences as Freddie and all of Queen liked all types of music.

[@bt2835]

yes! As a kid, I became open to so much more music bc I became obsessed with queen!!

[@neilburns8869]

Radio Gaga was written by Roger Taylor (the drummer). Roger had been playing with his son Felix at home and Felix was saying Radio Ca-ca, which Roger obviously altered ever so slightly but Lady Gaga had grown up listening to Queen at home because her Dad often had them playing and that's where she fell in love with Freddie Mercury and decided to call herself Lady Gaga.

[@pavlicek6985]

Great reaction and great Performance yesterday. Saw you live as Venus in the Volksoper in Orpheus. Really really good german also. I''m ready to see you in the Staatsoper soon🎉

[@paulorobertomariano4821]

Lady Gaga said in an interview that her stage name is from the song Radio Gaga by the band Queen. which she is a big fan of and to this day she reveres Queen.

[@zannebrazeau]

the bass player john decon's hair makes him look like a danderlion lol l love queen specially when freddy was the singer

[@tommanney3429]

React to their full Live Aid performance to truly see the awesomeness that was Queen. Freddie has a packed Wembley Stadium in the palm of his hand from the minute they take the stage. The entire audience reacts to this song without any prompting. Truly an absolute masterpiece of a performance and a must see for any true Queen fan.

[@garthrussell4957]

This was the 1st song played on satellite radio (mtv's 1st was "video killed the radio star") for all of my trivia fans.

AS others have said you really need to watch this live. It is AMAZING! ❤

[@shaunmoller2997]

This is for me their best song just epic this song was big in South Africa

[@kingstumble]

Best part of this video are the clips from Metropolis, the classic Fritz Lang movie from the 1920s.

[@russellwood8750]

The drummer, Roger Taylor wrote this song while writing it at home. His baby was singing along with him and said gaga goo goo so as a tribute to his child, he put it in the song.

[@deusifer30]

I was in the Philadelphia crowd…seeing them on the Jumbotron…‼️…amazing….in person…I envy those folx…especially seeing one of my community up there, fronting…gave the teen me hope…

[@farrelfoster-lynam6683]

Going to add yet another plea to see the Live Aid version of this. The crowd reaction is pure frisson

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

A lot of people miss the line "through wars of worlds, invaded by Mars" (at 2:20) which is a reference to the radio rendition of "The War of the Worlds" that had SOME convinced that an alien invasion from Mars was actually happening in England, (because it was done in the style of news alert broadcasts, which were a trusted source of real info back in the day) rather than a reading from the book by author H. G. Wells.

[@neilburns8869]

If you want a little more background with regards the song title it came about from Roger Taylor (the drummer for Queen) who wrote the song and was playing with his little boy Felix at home and he had said Radio Ca-Ca which then became Radio Gaga. And the song title in turn then became the inspiration for Lady Gaga.

[@neilburns8869]

The idea for this song actually came about through Roger Taylor's son Felix who was just learning to speak at the time and he kept saying Radio Caca. Which became Radio Gaga and that in turn inspired a female singer in the US to call herself Lady Gaga.

[@gerulisz]

My favourite Queen's Song!

[@georgeseanor]

You need to listen to Queens you take my breath away

[@gmcallsuk]

The Queen set at Live Aid is well worth watching

[@alexflores7652]

Cool factoid the movie screens in the background were taken from the classic Fritz Lang movie called Metropolis which came out in 1927. That movie has become the benchmark for dystopia type movies or even Cyberpunk genre before Bladerunner in 1982. 😘

[@martinkasper197]

Movie scenes are from Metropolis (1927), directed by the great Fritz Lang (M, Dr. Mabuse, Ring der Nibelungen, Der Tiger von Eschnapur).. So actually a sci-fi silent movie...

[@Philcoxon]

Queen also wrote the soundtrack to Scifi movie Flash Gordon. Disco 2000 and Common People by Pulp, i think you would enjoy or The Hollies Long Tall Woman in a Black Dress.

[@kevincraigyates5443]

They also did the whole soundtrack for the movie Flash Gordon. You may wish to immerse yourself into that or One Vision which was on the soundtrack of Iron Eagle

[@davidb1565]

[@lisastrange2553]

Any live version of this is great. The audience makes the song work. It is another audience participation song by queen. Live aid is the best version.

[@MichaelYoder1961]

A lot of scenes from Metropolis and this would fill the dance floor

[@mathius_dragoon532]

You can't really go wrong with queen. You would probably like the music video for "Break thru" as Freddie is having a blast in that one. Of course, the "I want to break free" video is iconic. Otherwise "The invisible man" "miracle", "headlong" are cool too.

[@osutuba]

You need to reach to their Live Aid performance! Also, this video takes a lot of inspiration from the silent film "Metropolis". In fact a lot of the B/W scenes in the video are from that 1927 film.

[@neilburns8869]

The term Radio Gaga actually came from Roger Taylor's son Felix who was just a baby at the time. And if you check, it's Roger who wrote Radio Gaga or (Radio Caca - as his young boy pronounced it). And yes indeed, its the same Gaga as in Lady Gaga Lady Gaga's father helped her with her musical education and she's long been a huge fan of Queen and in particular Freddie Mercury, as well as Madonna.

[@pattylisk6170]

Please check out Freddie and Montserrat singing How can I go on. Freddie can truly sing any genre even opera .

[@juanmanuelavendanoclarke8915]

There is a version of that movie, Metropolis, substituing the music it originally had with music by Queen, Bonnie Tyler and other artists of that time

[@karidrgn]

The video includes a classic scifi movie called Metropolis. Its considred one of the best even though it's from the silent era.

[@bobclarke1815]

You mentioned MTV. The first video played on MTV funnily enough was "Video killed the radio star" by The Buggles.

[@peckish_tooth6515]

Metropolis has gone thru many iterations, and IMHO all are worth watching. The original - from time to time different sets of footage were found and a new version released. The Giorgio Moroder version. He notably outbid David Bowie to get the rights. He then released the film with a modern soundtrack such as Freddie, Loverboy, and Pat Benetar. Vox Lumiere is a project that turns the films into a stage show. They have the films playing in the background, while dancers and acting talent perform to an original soundtrack played by a live band. There's also a Japanese magna version...

[@norasmith4939]

Yes Lady Gaga got her name from this song. Totally do the live aid performance though iconic

[@RexorgenOnavi]

Thank you!! I love your reactions! and if they are Queen even better 😎😄

[@PriscillaV1964]

This video is a homage to the Silent Movie Metropolis. It literally uses footage from the movie. Metropolis got a rebirth when someone realized the images were well suited modern music.

[@johnmanero9305]

You want to hear a great voice, checkout the band Badlands, song dreams in the dark. Ray Gillen was a great singer! RIP

[@SynthMusicWorld]

Today is my birthday! I'll just put this out there as a suggestion for a reaction: George Michael at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert performing "Somebody to Love." You'll be blown away, just like the 80,000+ people at Wembley Stadium who watched the performance (not to mention everyone who saw it live).

When MTV went live, their first music video was Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles. This song, and another by a band you haven't reacted to yet, Rush and their song Spirit of Radio in my opinion show that radio is still loved, and MTV isn't known for music videos any more.

[@roballen5718]

[@KaaSerpent]

This was also made at a time when a LOT of us believed that the Bomb was going to drop any minute now and the world would be over and/or we'd be in World War III with the then-Soviet Union. Hence the dystopian stuff with the people wearing gas masks and such.

[@kogle54]

That’s true she did get her name from this.

[@lkjh861]

The whole point of the song is to use your ears (substance), rather than get distracted by vision (superficiality) ~ and in a way, radio HAS been resurrected on a large scale in just the past few years... cuz that's what PODCASTS are ~ all about listening and nothing to really get distracted by visually 😉

[@fredbays]

If u pay close attention to the opining U will hear that it is not about video taking our radio it is about TV taking Radio listeners. Have u ever taking the time to listen to such shows as the Green Latrine, The lone ranger and so many more. For the first 8 yr of my life the only TV I saw was with my GDa. We kids would arrange ourselves around an old 1928 RCA console radio after we had been sent to bed. As long as Ma or Da could not hear it we could listen. Fell asleep many a night this way. Even after we got a TV still had that radio for a few more yrs. By 1960 it was all gone. Radio had become music, talk and preachers. It is that radio that is Radio GAGA

[@headrushindi]

Lady GaGa took her name from this song. She was a huge Queen Fan , and even did a few Live performances on stage with Brian May (Lead Guitar) , after Freddies death.. Needless to say there is a long and honored list of the stars through the years that Queen have influenced. from Garth Brooks, to M.C Hammer and many more. While the musical youth today are trying to become the next overnight sensation. Queen showed us how to become a legend. Pay attention you up and coming musicians , you cant go wrong emulating their technique .

[@ericzeichert511]

I have always thought of this as Queen's complaint about radio. They didn't fit neatly into the genres of the early 80's so they didn't get the airplay they thought they deserved. Instead, what they heard on the radio was basically Gerbers pureed glop, and childish nursery rhymes, while to hear Queen music, you had to seek out their concerts or albums. Needless to say, they managed to be pretty darn successful anyway. As for the Lady, this song is one reason. The other is that record execs probably had a hard time with Germanotta.

[@toddsimo6040]

The live aid event, Queens performance is considered the best.
