Overrated, overblown, pompous track. Very good fun to sing while drunk and I don't actually hate it as a song (nor do I hate Queen and I have the utmost respect for Freddy Mercury) but the nation's favourite? Maybe everyone they asked was bladdered.
What other decent bands have made it to number one though? All the best bands are usually out-sold by ****ty pop.
B*Witched. I agree it's totally overrated, Queen have done so many much better songs (Radio Gaga for example) but it can be quite fun to sing when drunk, and on a school trip to Morocco we sang it round the campfire in the middle of the Sahara, which was amusing. However, as song it's terribly overrated.
Also the favourite number one single of drunken Canadians in the back seats of police cars: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTtEcWUv2X8
She's got a nice face,it's a real shame that her love for pukka pies is more than her love for exercise otherwise she'd be quite an attractive woman.
