I think it is hilarious that Shaq completely missed the fact that the women in the living room and kitchen were the other band members dressed in drag too.
Not women they are men pretending as women

"Why Freddie gotta be extra?"
Lol because Freddie invented extra 😂
True that.
Stella Mortis Freddie was the living embodiment of extra
I have never read a truer statement in my LIFE!
Everybody in jail 😂
best response !!
Britney Spears wishes she looked as good in a schoolgirl uniform, as Roger Taylor.
That's tough!
slayerrocks2 tuff*
lol
#deadnow lol!
She was rather hot in it though.
#Rogerina
“Freddie...bro I understand you want to break free...but what are thooose” 💀
That killed me 😂😂
Why am I just realizing that the drummer, Roger Taylor is the cutest girl I've ever seen?? Lol...
I'm a straight cis woman, but somehow Roger in drag makes me question my sexuality lol
😂😂😂 I've always said the same thing!!
Pretty sure rogerina was my first crush as a kid D:
Got the sweet soprano too!
ROGERINA
Deborah Cornell commented correctly. First, the song was written by base player John Deacon (old lady on couch reading newspaper). It was drummer Roger Taylor’s wife’s idea to dress in drag (blonde girl in black skirt). It was a take-off of a very popular British soap opera called Coronation Street. Brian May is in the nightgown & bunny slippers. Freddie wanted to shave his mustache for the entire video, but they thought it would be funnier if he left it for parts. The dancing was with the Royal Ballet. MTV in the US didn’t get the joke & banned it. So Freddie refused to tour the US after that. The song was a hit everywhere, except the US.
Hey Jude I didn’t know MTV banned it. I definitely saw it in the US, but maybe on USA’s Night Flight or NBC’s Friday Night Video. I do remember it didn’t get near the air play that MTV gave the first single off the album Radio GaGa. I also liked the third single Hammer to Fall. Enjoyed this song a lot at the time and just figured Brits were always doing drag for comedy, a la Monty Python.
RLucas3000 Hi! I’ve definitely seen interviews with different people (including Roger Taylor & Brian May) talking about how MTV standards were very prudish & Puritan, and not allowing the video to be played. I don’t ever recall seeing it on MTV, and I was there to watch it premiere, but perhaps they aired it at a later date after restrictions were loosened up.
WTF? MTV of all channels chose to ban a Queen video?! When the hell did MTV get all prudish? The amount of crap that was on even back then was worse than this video. SMH We sure dropped the ball on that here and some punk ass executives at tiny ass network (back then) made a stupid choice that pissed Freddie Mercury of all people! On behalf of the Queen loving people of the USA I extend my sincerest apologies to Queen and Freddie Mercury, may he rest in peace, for that disrespectful decision that was not the will of the people. This video is awesome, cracked me up! Long Live Queen Freddie Mercury!
@@JustTanya. This was the same year Madonna's video "Like a Virgin" aired. I remember people losing their minds over that one.
Queen. Live aid performance. By far the best live performance in history. No joke
Yup... I bought the live aid set back in 2004 just for that.
Word
Best ever
It was, I was there, right at the back, U2 was on before Queen, straight after Queen we got David Bowie, Elton John, Plus we got a double whammy from Phil Collins who also sang in New York the same day, Yet it is Queens performance and rightly so, that is best remembered OUTSTANDING
He was in pretty bad shape health wise at that point also wasnt he ? To perform that well while feeling like shit is pretty amazing
Shaq: Whoa, what the hell just happened in this video?
Freddie: I just broke free darling :-)
i read that in freddie's voice
juvia lockser me too😂💕
Lol
"What in the mumble did Freddie just say?!?"
"I want to break free from your lies, you're so self-satisfied, I don't need you."
“Where the grapes come from?”
LMAOO I’m dead!
It's a little known (?) fact (I just happen to know it because I know the ballet, and that Freddie was influenced by Nijinsky) that the central fantasy portion of this video is based around a ballet called L'Apres-Midi du Faun (The Afternoon of the Faun), famously danced with Nijinsky in the title role early in the 20th Century. Freddie's costume is almost identical and the grapes are right there in the ballet. All the sensual writhing about is taken from the bit where the Faun (Nijinsky) 'makes love' shall we say to a scarf dropped by the beautiful nymph he fancies but can't have. :-)
He black, of course he's gonna notice the grapes. Lol
LOL Never seen Pussy!?
Can we get a queen Live Aid reaction for 1 Mil. Live Stream since its too long. Come on Coach.. Play the play
Nashawn Coley he hasn’t done this Yet? Well, I guess it’s time to subscribe so I can see it when he does it....he will do it
I second that, lets giddit Shaq!
@@ceaser8999 no he hasnt done it yet. If u go to the video where he reacts to under pressure he says it there.
Nashawn Coley I just started watching him lol
He has done it already
it was meant as a parody to coronation street - a long running British soap opera. It was Roger Taylor's then girlfriend's idea.
Freddie was going to shave off his tash for the video but the director told him not to, as it is funnier with it.
Also the bit with the miners was probably a show of solidarity with the coal miners who had gone on strike the month before. The strike ended up lasting from March 6th 1984 to March 3rd 1985!
Part of the reason why he walked up the stairs the way that he did, was that he was fabulous.
you gotta break free and accept Freddie for who he was! ;)
And he died from AIDS..
@@szethtoxicco1710 and what ?
@@szethtoxicco1710 you bet he still enjoyed his life as much as he could
That feeling when: You didnt realize you'd be reacting to one of the strangest music videos ever made until it was too late.
Freddy..Why can't you just walk up the stairs.. you gotta do all that extra stuff . LMAO
Pick up your leg😂
Freddie was the queen of extra
Because if he wasn’t extra then he wasn’t Freddie
Love this comment! If you dont know the back story to this video its a little weird. The whole band in drag is based on a english soap opera call Coronation street and the weird part with the dancers is performance from the Royal Ballet which Freddie loved and always wanted to dance with them. This video was banned by MTV because they didnt get it either.
No life shaq my dad watches u a lot. So I thought I would stop by. Thank u for making my dad happy and making lot videos
One of the greatest singers that will ever grace this earth. The tone, power and control of Freddie's voice seems unreal
It was actually Roger's idea to dress up in drag.
Probably coz he knew he'd kill it, lol.
AJS C It wasn’t Freddie's
@@plasmocat1863 Surprisingly he did 😂😂 Every Queen fan still talks about "Rogerina" till this day
@@painfulltruth5551 it was Rogers girlfriend at the time who suggested they should dress up as characters from the britisch soap Coronation Street.
And looking at how Roger looks in that outfit, I'm 99% sure this isnt the first time he dressed like that. I'm thinking he dressed like this for her some other time and she just wanted a video of Roger dressed like this so she could watch it whenever. Or she just wanted to give all of us a new crush and make us jealous that we couldnt have him 😅
AJS C it wasn’t freddies, the said in the movie
I'll stop singing to Queen songs the day AFTER I die.
illuminati I’m showing up in haven or hell singing Queen and if I’m not allowed I’m gonna have to request to speak to management
@@Bootcamp4 I'm hoping Freddie is the queen of heaven and hell and its mandatory to sing as his audience. Otherwise I want my money back
I’m surprised Shaq hasn’t yet reacted to the Montreal live recording of Somebody to Love..
@@DragonZeron Somebody to love at Montreal 1981 is not overdubbed where did you get that from? only certain songs are are. Honestly I wouldn't say overdubbed just a patch work for both nights.
@@DragonZeron All so called overdub has been removed on the rock Montreal release, certain songs on the Montreal 1981 2001 dvd release had horrible editing they couldn't cut between two nights correctly, and the visuals didn't exist so they had to use both nights on certain songs.
Ex-freakin-actly! 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️
That's my favorite version of that song!
what would he thin k of Another Bites The Dust from Montreal 1981?
I dont think he realizes in the living room all those "women" are the band members.. that's tuff couch.. you should watch a documentary of queen.. most explain this song..
Who wore it best? Ena Deacon? Suzie Taylor? Hilda May? Naah. Of course, it was Freddy.
LongandWeirdName who the fuck is “suzie Taylor”? It’s rogerina lol
LongandWeirdName 😂😂😂😂
Roger Taylor nailed it as a girl 🤣 u couldn’t even tell he was a dude 😂
@@gaetanobracale7193 Two words for you. Coronation Street.
Two more words. Suzanne Birchall.
You've got to view the Queen song The Show Must Go On! You'll like it because it's as meaningful in the lyrics as it is musically genius.
Written by John Deacon, this was a parody of a British soa opera, Coronation Street, and women's lib which was in the news. The ballet segment is when Freddie was invited to sing and perform with the Royal Ballet. All the guys in the band thought it would be great fun, but the American powers that were in control of the music industry weren't laughing and that was pretty much the end of their American record sales for a while
Oh come on, We all know all the ban members wrote The Show Must Go On
Can only give you one tip for listening to Queen. Don’t look for logic, just enjoy the ride....
I agree 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha.
I love how he’s not ready for it, but immediately accepts it...the talent transcends
👍
“Why you gotta do all that extra stuff”...because he’s Freddy by god Mercury! 🤣🤣🤣
The video was a parody of a British show called coronation street. MTV would not play it because they were in drag. Sad! It was the early 80s.
I think the idea was proposed by Roger Taylor, their drummer.
Well, now drag is a problem on TV for a different reason lol
perkinns so true 😂
Lies. There was Monty python
There is no explanation for Queen or Freddie. You just experience them.
Fixed
I don't think Shaq realizes that Freddy was gay.
Sorry but it's "Freddie" not freddy
@@miaduckett4857 , auto correct you Nazi.
Tammy Center Bi*
@@SuperSigite, Dimwit
Shaq: Every person in jail...
I want to break free
Im done 🤣
Every Queen track is a classic jam and nobody comes close to being the front man Freddie was. True Legend!
Freddie the BEEESSSTTT there ever was 🗣🗣🗣 we live for your Queen reactions ♥️♥️
I just found your channel a few weeks ago. The "Free Bird" reaction was priceless 😀I have been showing it to all my friends!
Diane McMahon that’s how i found him too!
Cluff TH-cam same
"What's grapes gotta do with it?" Hahaha, your face was priceless!
I'm still laughing about his face 10 minutes later. Hahahaha
Eagles- hotel California! We’re waiting
Fat Bottom Girls - Queen (you’ll love it)!
*bottomed
@@BarkaDog no killer queen*
This is my favorite Queen song, gives me the chills every time.
Yay! Queen! I have been waiting for one. That is the whole band dressed up. I am telling you got to do Somebody to Love live in Montreal 1981. Come on Queen fans, let's get Shaq more fans to sub. Get Shaq to the 1M
YES!! Somebody To Love- Live in Montreal 1981 ! We waiting for it Shaq!
Agreed! This is the best version of that song.
@@kellysweeney8809 In Sao Paulo!
Lmao your reaction had me dying of laughter gotta love queen for the crazy videos
1:22 THE WAY HE JUST LOOKS AT THE CAMERA AND STARTS BOPPING HIS HEAD OUT OF NOWHERE LMAOO
"What is going here!!.."
The 80's is going on there my man lol
Freddie, The Ultimate Hedonist!!! Thank you for all you've done, and allowing me to break free!!
For those wondering. Freddy's obvious, but the black coat and hat is John Deacon, the bassist, the pink nightgown and slippers is Brian May, and the school girl is Roger Taylor, the drummer. They are parodying a British soap opera named Coronation Street.
By far, Roger looks the best in drag.
Brian's hair rollers are the bomb
Spot on. If iremember correctly John Deacon wrote the song?
@@jkbdk6723 You are correct.
Glad someone else knew this was a lampoon on Coronation Street.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronation_Street
@@toddmillar4041 - As if Brian's hair needed curlers...the least of any of them, LOL!
Roflmbo at you. Great reaction. That is the whole band not just Freddy dressed in drag. And Freddy loved the ballet, that's what you was seeing. Love this song, music is great.
This song was written by John Deacon and Roger Taylor's girlfriend suggested they do it in drag to imitate the very popular show in the UK called Coronation Street. It is pure camp meaning that it is so ridiculous that it is funny. The second scene are professional dancers of the Royal Ballet. No intended message, just John Deacon's songwriting.
ANY QUEEN SONG IS A BANGER! PLUS YOUR REACTION? HAHAHAHA PERFECTION!!!
Shaq: "What you wanna do right now?"
Me: I want you to click that damn link for A Kind of Magic!
I would die to see Shaq react to Rocky Horror Picture Show!!!
😂throw your toast
For fucks sake make that happen
Omg Yesssssss 😂
Oh boi
Omg yes! Especially to sweet transvestite lmao
i actually never seen this before, caught me off guard and i dont think i laughed that much at a MV before.
You're too funny to watch 😂
You vibing to the song then suddenly gets shock at what's happening to the video HAHAHAHHAHA
I just rewatched all of the Queen responses and they’re as amazing now as they were then! ❤️❤️
"somebody to love" by queen..must react to it coach!!
Eagles- Desperado
Queen- Radio Gaga
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young- Ohio
Omg radio gaga. I want the Live Magic version of Radio GaGa FOR SURE.
OoOo CSNY Ohio would be great, especially with today’s mass shootings.
Radio Gaga might be Queen's worst song.
Bilbo Baggins have you heard Body Language? 😂
One of the most legendary rock performances in history. Please react to it. We’ll watch the whole thing🙏🙏🙏
Queen-Live/Aid
You absolutely made my day by your reaction. I laughed so hard I cried! ❤️
Show must go on by Queen.
New follower, because of the Queen videos ♥️ You are hilarious 😆 Did you do another one bites the dust? Great song with a great beat, I think you'd enjoy!
Rachel Clay
Perfect choice for Shaq 👌
Welcome to the gang 🤙🏼🤘
U just joined the cool kids club
You need to react to Love Of My Life by Queen. Highly underrated.
Good choice but I don't think any queen song is underrated
It's in no way underrated.
Underrated!?? Stadiums filled with people all over the world sing it in unison when it is played live
Who else clicked right away😂😂
Before his theme ended.... Love ya Coach!
Your reaction had me laughing hard, you are funny. I remember when I first saw this on tv many years ago and loved the song.
Bro beside the reaction .. best moment of the day when i'm here ...you make my day keep it up bro ... team support from ALGERIA bro
I think if he was still alive and watching ur reaction. He smile, cause u get it. Queen is about being who you are, no matter who you are, and who u love
It was Roger Taylor's wife who suggested the video be done in drag. Look at Brian May with curlers in his hair look pretty funny
And Roger looks gorgeous!
This reaction may be the single greatest video on the internet.
Man you had me crylaughing so hard! Keep up the good work!! Yea..queen bro!
you are seriously my new fave reaction channel! I seriously sit here laughin my white arse off with you every video! Keep up the good work no wonder you're at over 1 mil subs! I mean I have severe depression and bipolar and you make my day brighter you really do
Queen at Live Aid, please! You will be so happy through the whole thing.
I love that you admit it was hard to watch due to your "manhood" :-) Keep expanding your horizons, Shaq!
Shaq, you really should do The Show Must Go on by Queen, The story behind it is amazing.
This is my ultimate favorite reaction ever!! Go Shaq!! You are amazing!!
Your reactions always make me so happy. Thank you so much for sharing your love of music with us.
Been here since like 30K crazy my man shaq is creeping up on that mil, you deserve it bro the grind is real glad to see it all pay off for you 🙏
Definitely need to react to Queen's Fat Bottom Girls.
Next up for Queen if you do another one. Do "Another One Bites The Dust".
Live @ wembley. It’s fire. 🥰
Yes, I bet Shaq would like Another One Bites the Dust. The live version is dope, but in the official video you have that fun joke with the hats hidden. I'd like to see if he notices them :)
Nina Arend - now I have to look bc I never noticed??? How could this be?!!
He likes meaningful lyrics and I'm not sure this would really satisfy. Good song though.
I'm subscribed cos I love you man, you are crazy in love with Queen just like the rest of us. You are hooked on Freddie's voice. Yes I'm singing and bopping along too. This video was banned in America by MTV. You guys weren't ready for Freddie yet xx
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Priceless reaction man. I appreciate you watching and listening to this. Queen is so loved worldwide and Freddie's loss is a scar in modern human history.
"Where'd the grapes come from?" *dying*
Hi, Shaq... I'm completely blown away by how you react to Queen's music and creativity...and I'm saying... this with the biggest smile on my face because you have a blessing to keep everybody interested and connected with humour...
You gotta love Shaq! I'd love to see you react to Skid Row- 18 and life
Yes,he would love that song.
Also I Remember You, Wasted Time, In a Darkened Room, and Quicksand Jesus.
SO happy to see you reacting to Queen again because it's just TOO MUCH FUN TO SEE YOUR MIND BLOWN!!!! Thank you again!
This is exactly why Freddie didn't want to do music videos lol. He thought that a music video would ruin the listener's image of the song. He wanted them to come up with their own image of the songs (if that makes sense).
He had a beautiful voice. R.I.P.
Please react to more Queen!
Check out Marshall Tucker Band - Cant you see. They're from South Carolina also.
Back when he did this only he and Elton could of got away with this
Actually that video was pulled from MTV. It was said it was too racey for conservative America.
Don't forget Boy George.
Wasn't Elton still pretending to be straight when this came out?
David Bowie
@@iainmahoney4255 Well he came out as bisexual in 76, then openly gay in 88.
YEEEEEAH DUDE THANKSSS
I love that you’re trying not to hate on him for being outside your norm... So many people, men in particular, are so quick to say something or judge another man for his sexuality. And you just over here rockin’ w him! Didn’t expect that when I clicked on your channel. & your smile/energy is contagious💕
Queen - Radio Gaga
Queen - Love of my life
Aerosmith - Last child
Aerosmith - Back in the Saddle
Led Zeppelin - Dyer Maker
Led Zeppelin - Since I’ve been loving you
Pink Floyd - Money
Pink Floyd - Mother
As Brits of a certain age, we found your reaction to this so, so funny, we have laughed so much at it, especially your reaction when Freddie comes out with the vacuum cleaner! I almost feel that we should do a reaction video to your reaction video! I shall play it whenever I've had a hard day to cheer myself up :D Thanks!😁
Oh I was singing love my Freddie Mercury and Queen. My favorite band of all time.
Queen's Full Live Aid performance, you won't regret it! Please! It's Pure Perfection and such a Powerful Performance!
Love your reviews, you’re a nice human, real honest and raw, just a cool guy who is open minded.
Lmao! All the weird stuff in the video and you say, 'Where them grapes come from.' 😂 Your reactions are hilarious 👍
You should check out Chris Cornell! Whether it’s soundgarden, audioslave, temple of the dog or solo but I know Shaq would enjoy his voice! And to add something crazy, Chester Bennington left this world on Chris’ birthday
Roger looked amazing!!
“I want to break free from your lies you’re so self satisfied I don’t need you” what he said
Shaq: We here for the music and the bars
Also Shaq: Where the grapes come from?
😂😂😂
Outstanding... you're the only "Guy" whose had the guts to do a reaction to this. It's just Freddie being Freddie. Great reaction.
You need to react to some female artists from the 80s! Madonna, Pat Benatar, Blondie, Heart are just a couple of suggestions!
I loved how Shaq didn’t notice that Freddie lost his moustache at one point
“Where da hell did the grapes come from?”😂
Shaq is asking the important questions here😂
Sometimes I rewatch this because I love watching Shaq try to figure out “what the hell is going on” 😂🤣
