For the benefit of those who chose to "play the gane, play the game of love", I'll keep it short.
1.) "Radio Ga Ga" was written by Roger Meddows-Taylor (not Roger Andrew Taylor of Duran Duran).
2.) Since 1975, Queen would end every concert with "God Save the Queen."
3.) I can't cook it, but I'll order it from Freddie Mercury's homeland: Zanzibar! (I thought that a Tenacious D lyric would help.)
4.) "Another One Bites the Dust" was going to be the theme for Rocky III/ Getting the rights was difficult, so Stallone settled for an original song by Chicago band Survivor called "Eye of the Tiger".
5.) At the 1992 Freddie Mercury tribute, "We Are the Champions" was sung by Liza Minelli, who Freddie thought would have been perfect for the song. Annie Lennox and David Bowie sang "Under Pressure". Sir Elton John sang the verses to "Bohemian Rhapsody" while W. Axl Rose sang the rockin' bridge.
6.) Everyone got a free point for this because the poll creatrer messed up. In the Queen logo, Freddie used two faeries as his icon, representing his astrological sign, Virgo. The two Leos are the drum 'n' bass (Taylor and Deacon), and the crab was Brian May. Phoenixes are pretty. So are crowns.
Bonus question: Bonus Question: Who should have won Rockstar Supernova besides Storm Large?
I would have taken any answer, but in my opinion, it should have been Tony "Evs" Rand, the "Thunder from Down Under". He has the looks, pipes and the stage presence to keep the guys singing along and the ladies dancing. I found him to be more charismatic and competent.
I also though his vocal delivery was better. For examples, I submit two WMA files of the now-offically-named Rockstar Supernova song, "Be Yourself and Five Other Clichés" first by Lukas Rossi and then by Toby. See the differnece?
