This week our host Jim Adams for Song Lyric Sunday has given us the prompt of “Songs with recognizable intros”. The goal is to take the prompt and profile a song that covers that challenge.

Please consider carving out time to read the posts of other bloggers who responded to this music challenge. You will hopefully discover new songs, revisit an old favorite and it is quite possibly learning something interesting.

Suggestions for Song Lyric Sunday

Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it contains the prompt words or not.  If it does not meet the criteria, then please explain why you chose this song.
• Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due.  Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be.
• Make sure you also credit the singer/band and if you desire you can provide a link to where you found the lyrics.
• Link to the YouTube video or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song.

• Read at least one other person’s blog, so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process.
• Feel free to suggest future prompts.
• Have fun and enjoy the music.

Bohemian Rhapsody

For this week’s challenge I am selecting a song by Queen called Bohemian Rhapsody. My hunch is I may not be alone. Thje song was written by Freddie Mercury and debut in 1975 on their 4th album called “A Night at the Opera”.

Music lovers know this innovative song with its cappella intro (“Is this the real life?/Is this just fantasy?”) 

Queen made a video for the song to air on Top Of The Pops, a popular British music show, because the song was too complex to perform live.
