50 Years of Rock Opera Royalty In the spirit and rhythm of the song itself

 

🎶 Is this real life? Is this just legacy?

Caught in a timeline — no escape from its energy.

Open your eyes,
Look to the screen and see —
A headbanging classic, it’s thunderous, massive,
Freddie made it easy,
Blowing minds so breezily,
'Cause it didn’t really matter
If it fit the mold —
It broke it.

Mamaaa… it was the first of its kind,
A rock video divine,
On the telly it would shine…
TV clips, movie flips —
It found its way in everything,
From Glee to car scenes —
Wayne and Garth still singing!

Wayne Campbell in his Gremlin,
head thrashing in that front seat,
"Scaramouche, Scaramouche!"
They made opera sound so sweet.

🎸 Thunderbolts and lightning — still very frightening,
50 years on — and we’re still reciting.
(“Galileo!”) — We scream it with delight.
(“Galileo!”) — With every karaoke night.
(“Galileo!”) — Still giving us that bite.
Magnificoooooo-oh-ohhhh!

🎭 Drama, rock, and vocals so insane,
A song with no refrain,
They said it wouldn't reign…

But look at it now —
50 YEARS of wow,
Still blowing speakers,
Still dropping jaws,
Still no applause big enough for what Queen made.

So here’s to Bohemian Rhapsody,
A timeless oddity,
A masterpiece that never played by the rules...
And somehow schooled every song that followed.

---

👑 Long live the Queen. Long live the Rhapsody.

No one forgets Wayne. No one forgets that Gremlin.
No one ever skips this song.
