I just love this song. If you don't bounce a little, you should probably be checked for a pulse. Love Roger's two-line solo and the backups are fun to sing. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 o'clock" I have about 30 Queen songs in my top 10, and this is one of them. :-)
This is my favourite of today's three though I like them all of course. Millionaire's waltz and Seaside Rendezvous are similar types of songs. Part of what makes Queen so eclectic. They can do any type of music and kill it.
One of the best. From the album A Night at the Opera, do all of us die hard Queen fans a favor and react to The Prophet's Song written by Brian, all cannon harmonies performed live by Freddie alone. Super unique song that once again displays Bryan's range of song writing, Freddie's outstanding self harmonizing and the band's breadth and depth of music. Queen Forever!
Discussing the song in an interview with Kenny Everett on his radio show, Freddie described the song thus: "It's in my 'ragtime' mood that I get a chance to, [Laughs] to do on every album and this time, this is something I've come up with this time around." This song, which was written by Freddie features sound engineer and co-producer Mike Stone taking over the lead vocals for one line: "Hey, boy, where'd you get it from? Hey, boy, where did you go?"
Another favorite of mine. I just love these 1920's inspired songs by Queen. Another one is Seaside Rendezvous, from A Night At The Opera. I think you'll like it. th-cam.com/video/36nqGs_Dvws/w-d-xo.html
The song describes how “a good old-fashioned lover boy” is looking forward to a night of revelry & romance. I believe the lyrics are describing Freddie as the good old-fashioned lover boy. When performed live Roger sings “Hey boy where’d you get it from, Hey boy where did you go?” On the studio version Mike Stone sings that part (Mike Stone was Queen’s producer). I love this song!! 🎶🎶
Freddie’s creativity is off the charts. Roger, Brian & John only add to the songs greatness. They dabbled in many genres, sometimes using their voices for horns. Have you done dreamers ball….live….Paris ‘79. I keep asking lol. Great reaction as always.
I really like the way that electric guitar sound was inserted into this old fashioned ragtime (?) style song and Freddie could sing in all genres authentically and the famous Queen harmonies came again. The lyrics is very Freddie.
Not Often You See A Genius Perform To The Max.. Freddie Nailed It Every Time..Right To The End.. Different World Without Him,But,As You've Proved With Your Amazing Reactions..He Won't Ever Be Forgotten 🇬🇧
Teresa it annoys me when clowns say "Queen are over-rated", really? have they never listened to an album all the way through? the harmonies on every Queen album are always fantastic, then you have songs like seaside rendezvous, love of my life, flick of the wrist, somebody to love and the march of the black queen all great great songs but complex and intricate with so many key changes and fab guitar work, we have the best band ever 👑✊🇬🇧
THANK YOU for presenting QUEEN for as long as you have done so. Saw them a few times in concert once in Jolly Ole' England. This song from A DAY AT THE RACES.
This song id one of the underated, this beautiful song with those fantastic harmonies I really love it, snd I wich I have had a good old fashion lover boy 🤔 you are so sweet, have so calm sooming voice and a big nice smile….so now you my «outhrovert» and thats becouse of Queen, its NEVER go wrong with Queen 🥰
This has been one of my favorite songs since I was a teenager. So gald to finally see a reaction video for it. Hopefully, more will appreciate the extreme versatility of Queen. I convinced my son to sing it on a Queen Karaoke night. So much fun! Thank you!!
My 15-yr old surprised me when she said this was in her top 3 Queen songs. I love it, but never would have thought of putting it that high. It made me listen to it more carefully and realise it really IS a fantastic song. I think it’s overlooked because musically, it’s a simpler song.
Rad please react to Let me in your heart again. Written by Brian May. It was to be on The Works Album but wasn’t released until 2014 after Freddie’s death. It’s my favorite song. I think you’ll love it too. 👑😃
This is just the tip of the iceberg..Queen goes on and on with the. Best hits..I like White Queen to start with...Someone to love !!! More Queen.....😀😀😀😀😀😙
Just for reference... This is not the version of the song heard on the album or the 45" single... This version is the 'live-effect' re-record especially for Top of the Pops in the UK. This is then a mimed performance of a live-sound version of the actual song you'd buy! Queen despised miming (lip-syncing) and that's why there was only one more appearance by them after this (Las Palabras De Amor) on the show, with Queen relying on their music videos to promote.
@@bluebell3720 I'm not disputing the possibility, I don't claim to have all the facts but I have never seen them nor heard reference to them. All I know exists still are Seven Seas of Rhye, Killer Queen, Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy and Las Palabras De Amor. Maybe there are more hidden video gems out there waiting to be unearthed. The footage of Seven Seas was lost for a long time because of BBC policy of recording over video tapes up until the mid seventies. Some home recording footage was eventually found and we can watch now. I don't think the Beeb had that policy in action later so if those performances happened, it'd be interesting to know what happened to them...
@@bluebell3720 unfortunately miming has always been a part of music on television. There are the Saturday Night Live performances by Queen which were live! Sadly, Queen's British live TV performances that were actually live (other than concerts) seem to be only after Freddie died, having some with Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert. There may be some I'm forgetting - I ain't young anymore lol.
Wikipedia.Org Background & Composition - At this point , the drums, bass and guitar drop out, which then leads into the bridge, sung by Mercury and Mike Stone (Hey boy where’d you get it from, Hey boy where did you go?”) Following the Brian May guitar solo, another verse is sung and then the chorus ends the track.
@@debramoore7513 Thanks I just found more info On totps version roger is singing the line mike stone did on the album Apparently queen put this as their official not the one with mike.. Not got the time to check it all out now Reddit have a discussion and posted a link to the original.. Ill investigate it later! Im not good at picking up on things if im not concentrating and dont have the time now Thankyou for responding and giving info Theres so many slightly different versions Im lost whats original...differences.. Ill get there!
Freddie came up with this song while getting ready for a date with one of his music producers (a guy) and I just find that adorable💗 but he had to make the song seem like he’s talking about himself because homophobia was crazy back then
Harmonies? Listen to ‘You Take My Breath Away’ and ‘Millionaire Waltz’, both also from the exceptional ‘A Day At The Races’ album. Vastly underrated as it came after ‘A Night At The Opera’ and was subsequently compared somewhat unfavourably to that. I don’t. I love the album as much as ANATO.
“Seaside Rendevous” is a similar style song from them. 🎶🔥🎶
Rad, I have no idea why you don't have a job with SiriusXM's radio. You have a great DJ voice. It's as smooth as Smokey Robinson!

OMG Prophet's song 🔥🔥🔥
Clever Freddie lyrics & melody, great harmonies. one of my son's fav Queen songs. thanks for reacting
I'm just so happy that you have come to truly appreciate Queen the way I - we - all do. Thank you for your beautiful reactions.
Love this one. The harmonies, the vocal lines, the tempos. This is is great song writing, big one with not so much time in the spot.

I called this ragtime, but I wasn't 100% sure that was an accurate description of the genre. If Freddie says so, I'm golden! :-)
HELLO MISS JANICE 🥰
@@debramoore7513 ⓗⓔⓛⓛⓞ MISS DEBRA!!
The album version of this song sounds different. There's even more harmonies.

I don’t understand why Brian is so underrated as a guitarist. To me he’s one of greatest. Freddie & Brian were one the best song writer’s in 🪨 rock 🎸

Spread Your Wings is another great one.
Thank you for Queen Sunday’s!!!! I love Queen. Thnx Rad. 👑👑👑
Brian May...OMG Excellent guitar 🎸Player
one of Freddies
Released 77 and performed on top of the pops
Off their 76 album day at the races
Seaside Rendezvous. Dreamers Ball. Cool Cat
I love this song too, great triple play today, three of my favorites. Thank you.
I love watch you youtubers listening to Queen for the first time and falling in love 🤗🔥

'Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon', is another Queen song in the same vein as this one.
It's hard to choose a favourite Queen song, but this is probably joint number one with Princes Of The Universe 🥰
Their voices together are fantastic. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
"My hot seat of love" gets me every time 🤩❤️🔥
It's sooooooooo sweet of a song. Who wouldn't want to have someone sang this to them? I would!
🤭 MY, MY, MY!!
Just a plain old CHARMER! A fresh take with a 1920s vibe. And still fresh all these years later.
Rad please react to Let me in your heart again. Written by Brian May. It was to be on The Works Album but wasn’t released until 2014 after Freddie’s death. It’s my favorite song. I think you’ll love it too. 👑😃
Has like a 1920's-30's sound with a rock twist
Only Freddie could say “C’mon sit on my hot seat of love” and not get shot down for it 😁🥰
I dare you not to smile:) I always loved the humor
Queen is very under rated sadly
I love it.Thanks for reacting to this song.
👍👍👍
Love this song makes me smile 😁
Thank you so much for reacting this Masterpiece!!!! 🙏🔥🎹
Rad you have the perfect voice for the radio, 'The Rad Jarrett Radio Show'
Great song, natural reaction, cheers, RJ! ✌😘🎶🎹🎸💞
lovely reaction!! I'm so in love with this song :]
This is just the tip of the iceberg..Queen goes on and on with the. Best hits..I like White Queen to start with...Someone to love !!! More Queen.....😀😀😀😀😀😙
Please react Seaside Rendezvous, The Milionaire Waltz, Who Needs You 😊
Great reaction, and your voice is incredible!
This is in my top 5 Queen songs. But i changed it all the time

Theres an article
List of performances and dates and info about footage found/lost/partial..
But youre right they did hate miming on the show but atleast it was exposure

Yeah I like Rad's voice too
Please teo torriato it was played at the olymic openings this year
Please, listen to the "sibling" of this song: Seaside Randezvous
You should probably have listened to the studio version first. It's more detailed and fully developed.
I would have said it was Roger but on wiki it claims it was mike stone!?
Maybe both?
Wiki says Mike provided additional vocals, not that Roger didn’t sing those lines. That’s clearly Roger’s voice. 🤗

The Interlude Is Slightly Different From The Album With Shifting Emphasis. Quite Hip.
Seriously though ,I mean really ..can you get a more unique sounding rock band and so immediately recognizeable...NO
