I think we can go ahead and say it's a fact that Freddie was the best rock singer of all time. Any day you have this song stuck in your head is a good day. Thanks for the good day!

Best of the best ,champion of the champions. Took me back to the days when music and book reading got more time of the day than text messaging and fiddling with mini gadgetry in pockets and pocket books. Always loved the classic rock .
GREAT ABBAS. You got me out of tears of blood .

That's not an opinion, Abbas. That's a stone cold fact.
Just count the octives in this song! What is that, 4? And he hits them all perfectly.

Dear Evan, Nasreen, and Drunktank Dan:
I put my opinion down a bit nervously, expecting to be challenged and/or corrected (since I am no authority on any kind of music) but you guys have all confirmed my biases. Thank you!!!
Drunktank Dan, I confess to practicing singing many songs I like in the shower but must say that I agree with you: the difficulty of this song puts it at a level where only master-singers can sing it. And the speed at which he does it... My Gawd!!!!!
