Jim is the host of this weekly lesson (for me that is!). I always loved music but I didn’t always know who sang it and what group they were in. That being said we are asked this week for a song by a band that you wish were still together. Well, if you know me then you know that I am madly in love with Freddie Mercury! Yes, I know his interest was in men, well at the end at least, and yes, I know he is no longer alive! But, his voice! I can’t get enough of it! Now to pick the song that depicts the group the best….This gets me in such a fine mood!
“Don’t Stop Me Now”
Tonight
I’m gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive
And the world, I’ll turn it inside out
Yeah!
I’m floating around
In ecstasy
So don’t stop me now, don’t stop me
‘Cause I’m having a good time, having a good time
I’m a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I’m a racing car passing by
Like Lady Godiva
I’m gonna go, go, go
There’s no stopping me
I’m burning through the sky
Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That’s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I’m traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Don’t stop me now
I’m having such a good time
I’m having a ball
Don’t stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
Don’t stop me now
‘Cause I’m having a good time
Don’t stop me now
Yes, I’m having a good time
I don’t wanna stop at all, yeah!
I’m a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite
I’m out of control
I’m a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh explode
I’m burning through the sky
Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That’s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I’m traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you
Don’t stop me
Don’t stop me
Don’t stop me
Hey, hey, hey!
Don’t stop me
Don’t stop me
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I like it
Don’t stop me
Don’t stop me
Have a good time, good time
Don’t stop me
Don’t stop me
Ooh, let loose, honey, alright
Oh, I’m burning through the sky
Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That’s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit (Hey)
Traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you (Hey, hey)
Don’t stop me now
I’m having such a good time
I’m having a ball
Don’t stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Alright
Just give me a call
Don’t stop me now
‘Cause I’m having a good time (Hey, hey)
Don’t stop me now
Yes, I’m having a good time
I don’t wanna stop at all
Ah, da, da, da, da
Da, da, ah, ah
Ah, da, da, ah, ah, ah
Ah, da, da
Ah, da, da, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh














So, so many great songs from Queen! Love hearing this one, too. 🙂

Have you heard this? Queen just recently released a song with Freddie on vocals that was recorded for The Miracle album (1989) but didn’t make the final cut.

I think he was always into guys, but that’s beside the point: he was a great singer and the world is a little worse off for losing him. Good pick!

It is surprising to me sometimes to know that he was alive and performing for audiences when I was younger. It seems like he was before my time. I think just because I wasn’t knowledgeable about music for a long time. I knew Another One Bites The Dust, because we rollerskated to it!!
