Freddie must be turning in his grave. What have these silly little boys done by attempting to redo this classic. Has anyone else heard it?

:o Is that who I heard massacring it on the football last night. Why do these pop bands feel the need to trash good songs with their mediocre voices?

I wondered who it was singing that. ****ing idiots. The Vandals did a decent cover of it.

Well c'mon, I mean Queen - hardly Busted were they? And that chap with the funny mouth from Muckflie could show our Freddie a thing or two when it comes to singing (and 'tinkling the ivories').

As for the rest of Queen, pound for pound they couldn't hold a torch to Muckfie. Muckee's drummer (I think they have one although I'm not sure if he's plugged in) could show our Roger a flam or two and Muckee's bass guitarist (probably with baggy jeans) is so impressive old Deacon will soon be relegated to narrating children's animations just like Ringo Starr was in the 1980s when A Flock Of Seagulls came on the scene.

That leaves the guitarist with Queen with the famous wife both of whom share the same poodle hairstyles. Hardly rock n roll that is it? Hello Mr Queen's guitarist, is this your wife, the woman from Eastenders? Rock N Roll!!! Having said that, the permed one did scale the ladders to Buckingham Palace and incredibly found not just his built-from-an-old-fireplace guitar but also a backline of AC30 amps already plugged in. And to play what? Killer Queen (geddit)? Nah, the blummin' National Anthem.

Give me Muckpuke anyday. Exciting, all round talent and that's got nowt to say about their attitude. Even Noel and Our Kid haven't been seen round here lately.

(And not only that, it'll be 'for charidee'. Wonder if the singer with the silly lithp will don white jogging pants, yellow jacket and mike-on-a-stick? Someone tell the little bugger Wembley was knocked down a while back.)

The Show Must Go On.

Indeed.

I heard it at the end of the football yesterday.

What is the point? It sounds exactly like the awful Queen version, just with squeekier singing.

Ugh, McFly, die! :rant:

Queen are LEGENDS! LEGENDS I tell thee, they do NOT deserve to have their work bastardised by the likes of McFly! :rant:

IMO if you can't come up with your own original work, don't release a single! :rant:

Don't just bastardise some other poor sucker's work for the sake of earning a few quid.

Covers are usually crap. Unless you are Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

I've heard it but didn't know who it was ruining one of my fave Queen songs.

The Trafford Centre use the original Queen song in their TV adverts so all my passion for this song drained away long ago.
