The cute "girl" in the video is the band's drummer, Roger Taylor! Apparently, he grew a beard when he was younger because he was sick of being mistaken for a girl. Part of the video is a parody of a long running British soap opera about working class families called "Coronation Street", which began in the 1960s, hence the old fashioned look inside the house. (The start of the video is very much like the opening credits of the show.) This music video pretty much ended Queen's popularity in the United States, as the American audience didn't understand the use of drag here (where men dress up as women for comedic effect). It's good to see you both enjoying the song and video and appreciating that it was meant to be humorous and over the top. Your smiles were delightful!
@@kerryloc dont forget this was in the mid 80's and nothing quite like it was on tv, it was a different time, rogerina i was about 11 when i saw this video for the first time.. and.. yeah confused ;)
@@Greenwood4727 I remember being very confused myself at 11, although that was mercifully years before this video came out! Roger did look good in that uniform.
So, as you pointed out, the four girls were the four band members. The black mini skirted one was obviously Freddie. The one in curlers was Brian May. The granny was John Deacon (writer of this song). And finally the schoolgirl was Roger Taylor, aka Rogerina.
I just adore the fact that every Queen fan has collectively agreed that Roger is "Rogerina" and is absolutely stunning as a woman. Like, nobody else in the band got a nickname, but Roger did LMAO 😂
One of the best songs ever, created by the bassist John Deacon as a parody of the British TV show Coronation Street. Of course very controversial at this time, but absolutely amazing for the crowd. Very creative and just another example how good Queen really was. 4 real artists.
It's so great seeing a new generation of people falling in love with Queen. SIDE NOTE: Freddy was accused of wanting to have the 'drag' bit in the video because he was gay; however, it was Roger's idea (the drummer) to dress in drag.
We Will Rock You was always played at sporting events in Canada. Great band. Their music covers every type of style. Freddie is the best frontman of all time.
Roger Taylor is just too cute on this video. This early crush to Roger's character lead me later to accept trans-women's acquired femininity as genuine in social context and treat all such persons accordingly. Great conversations have ensued. There's no need to focus on the physical sexuality all the time. I wish all the genuine ladies were as thoughtful, funny and philosophical as some of those aforementioned persons are.
The intent behind dressing in drag came from Roger Taylor. He got the idea from a British TV Show called Coronation Street. At the time when the video was released in 1984, many people weren't into the joke of them being in drag. And as a result, the video got banned from MTV. But they rebounded with the video for Radio Gaga, which led to their appearance at Live Aid '85, and the rest is history.
Queen have many great songs,their last album to feature Freddie was Innuendo. A great track to react to would be These Are The Days Of Our Lives from that very album.
Always waiting for the reaction to the George Barbier - Art Deco Period illustrator - inspired ballet sequence in this video. The whole thing begins - is bookended - in 'Coronation Street' soap opera style, a series that started in the late 1950s and - as far as I can be aware - still running today. All-in-all, Surreal juxtapositions, like the combination of these two, in his videos was a Freddie thing! The house set itself looks as if it was borrowed from the 'Sykes' situation comedy which was in production at the same time and starred Hattie Jacques and Eric Sykes as brother and sister, Richard Wattis as the neighbour and Deryck Guyler as Constable Turnball. Whether it is actually the same set, or just a generic set that merely looks the same, I haven't got the foggiest! Everything is in exactly the same position as in Sykes though.
A great reaction . Some people don't get that it's a joke. The pictures you may have wondered about were from a guest appearance Freddie did with the Royal Ballet for charity.
You love Queen and Freddie,Freddie singing 'The Great Pretender' You have maybe seen this by now though. Love both of you by the way,are you friends or sisters??
thank you for showing that this music was never just a fashion and if a lifestyle really thank you ... I wish you could react to the new helloween skyfall single a greeting from the city of Toluca, Mexico
This idea of doing this came from Roger Taylors G/F. This video was originally banned in America. Voices as incredible as always, This is a shortened version of the video
I like it your natural reacción You are have a reaction very projective this si good Who taught them to listen good rock music?Excuse the question What is the name of the girl with white headphones???greetings from Mexihco-Tenochtitlan !!!!!
Basically, the song is about the Women’s Movement! The housewife (Freddie) boggled down with the school girl (Roger) Granny (John) & In-law/parent (Brian). Then daydreams about the Royal Ballet, eating grapes, & being carried off!! Don’t we all day dream about that?? 😂🤣😂🤣 It was Roger’s girlfriend idea for the Queen mates to dress in drag as a nod to Coronation Street (British TV show). MTV banned it in America so Freddie said Queen would never tour in the U.S. again!! They didn’t so we Americans suffered without Queen! 👑🎼👑🎼 Please react to THE MIRACLE by Queen. There’s a fun surprise in the video!
Omg u guys made my night I've been sad all night just depressed thank u Do u guys have Instagrams or Facebooks so that I can follow you guys I love your accents
He was actually singing about coming out of the closet because he was gay so he made fun of himself with a sense of humor. He was a great performer and beautiful songs you sing

Great Song!!!!!! Freddie Mercury is King!!!! Please can you react to Linkin Park "Bleed It Out". I would like that the same as I see your videos, you would respond to the comments. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥

Another great song to check out by Queen is "The show must go on". Written when Freddie knew he didn't have long to live. Great reaction!

Freddie has better legs than most ladies!! 😂😂
@@debramoore7513 Rogerina too so hot 😂😍
I just adore the fact that every Queen fan has collectively agreed that Roger is "Rogerina" and is absolutely stunning as a woman. Like, nobody else in the band got a nickname, but Roger did LMAO 😂
One of the best songs ever,
created by the bassist
John Deacon as a parody of the British TV show Coronation Street.
Of course very controversial at this time, but absolutely amazing for the crowd.
Very creative and just another example how good Queen really was.
4 real artists.
I loved watching your reaction to this classic music video..
Freedie Mercury is an Indian. His real name is Farokh Bulsara. He is Parsi Zorastrian (Persian) from India 🇮🇳.
It's so great seeing a new generation of people falling in love with Queen. SIDE NOTE: Freddy was accused of wanting to have the 'drag' bit in the video because he was gay; however, it was Roger's idea (the drummer) to dress in drag.
Another fun song is Killer Queen. You'll love it. They are so talented. Not only great vocalists but hilarious stage presence and skits too. ❤
Best reaction video ever. Pure joy. Keep it going ladies!
Thank you! Will do!
Loved the reaction when they saw the band dressed as women. Both these girls are so pretty.
We Will Rock You was always played at sporting events in Canada. Great band. Their music covers every type of style. Freddie is the best frontman of all time.
