Queen的Bohemian Rhapsody

1975年的今天(11/23)Queen的Bohemian Rhapsody這首歌在英國排行榜上獲得冠軍,而且連續9週之久,推廣這首歌的短片被認為是第一支Music Video音樂短片,但只花了五英磅的製作費,當年Queen準備推出這首歌的時候,很多唱片製作人建議他們一首5分55秒長的單曲很難成為一首暢銷曲。


Queen是一個來自英國的搖滾樂團,主唱Freddie Mercury 1946年出生於非州坦桑尼亞的桑吉巴,1991年的明天(11/24)死於愛滋病。

Queen是一個全球知名的合唱團,唱出的好歌很多,在歷年暢銷歌星與合唱團排行榜獲得119名,他們的We Will Rock You在各種体育活動的場合與電視轉播常可聽到,而原先不被看好的Bohemian Rhapsody除了在英國獲得9週冠軍外,1976年曾獲美國排行榜第9名,並被選入Grammy與搖滾樂名人堂,也是滾石雜誌500大歌曲榜第163名的歌,1992年因電影Wayne’s World「反斗智多星」選它當插曲,使重新發片的這首歌更上層樓在美國獲排行榜第2名。



Bohemian Rhapsody



Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide

No escape from reality

Open your eyes

Look up to the skies and see

I'm just a poor boy (Poor boy)

I need no sympathy

Because I'm easy come, easy go

Little high, little low

Any way the wind blows

Doesn't really matter to me, to me



Mama just killed a man

Put a gun against his head

Pulled my trigger, now he's dead

Mama, life has just begun

But now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mama, ooh

Didn't mean to make you cry

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow

Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters



Too late, my time has come

Sends shivers down my spine

Body's aching all the time

Goodbye, everybody

I've got to go

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, oooooooh (Anyway the wind blows)

I don't want to die

Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all



[Guitar Solo]



I see a little silhouetto of a man

Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango

Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me



(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro

Magnifico-o-o-o-o

I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me

He's just a poor boy from a poor family

Spare him his life from this monstrosity



Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?

Bismillah! No, we will not let you go

Let him go

Bismillah! We will not let you go

Let him go

Bismillah! We will not let you go

Let me go (Will not let you go)

Let me go (Will not let you go) (Never, never, never, never)

Let me go, o, o, o, o

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama Mia, let me go

Beelzebub has the devil put aside for me, for me, for me!



So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye

So you think you can love me and leave me to die

Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby

Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here



[Guitar Solo]

(Oooh yeah, Oooh yeah)



Nothing really matters

Anyone can see

Nothing really matters

Nothing really matters to me



Any way the wind blows...
