If we were to title this episode we’d call it “Freddie does funk” Cardinal Woods wants you to all stop fiddling with your EQs, Kev is adamant about the cheese and pickle sandwiches, and the boys are once again aligned in their appraisal of this track. A nod to Joe from in the Lap of…

If we were to title this episode we’d call it “Polish all your shiny buttons dressed as lamb instead of mutton” There’s more chat about sandwiches than you might expect in this episode. Kev was also really quite drunk during the recording and couldn’t figure out how to end it, so it’s probably longer than…

If we were to title this episode we’d call it “Where’s Freddie?” Today we get a classic deep cut from a classic album. Good Company is a Brian May tour-de-force, in which he labours for days to assemble a New Orleans style ragtime band using only his Red Special. The silly goose could have just…

If we were to title this episode we’d call it “Brian May got his way!” I Go Crazy is a discarded idea from the Hot Space sessions that Brian revamped for The Works, but alas, John, Freddie, and Roger simply we’re crazy about it (you see what I did there?) and consigned it to the…

If Randy were to title this episode, and he did, he’d call it “Leave well enough alone!” Queen’s rearrangement of 1985’s I Was Born To Love You is the topic of conversation today and Kev and Randy dig into both the Queen version and the original Freddie version. Earnest lyrics, full Freddie harmonies, and some…

“Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre you gonna take me home tonight?” “No chance. You look like you’re gonna puke and I don’t want to clean up two pints of Rum and black!” Few know that this was the original line, but Freddie wisely convinced Brian to change it. Let’s be honest, there are issues with the lyrics in this…

Back to the start. Actually, back before the start in some ways, with a song written by Smile, the precursor band to both Queen and the much bigger and more influential Humpy Bong. Don’t hump bongs folks, you could burn your pee pee and that’s never good! Speaking of burning pee pees, Randy and Kev…

This episode is titled “Ballad salad”, so get yer tissues out folks. It’s another tear-jerker! Kev and Randy agree again on “Too Much Love Will Kill You”, the heart-wrenching autopsy of Brian May’s failing marriage. Yeh we know, it’s getting boring, there’s not enough conflict…. maybe we should just have a game of slaps to…

Don’t talk back! Don’t talk back! Don’t talk back! LEAVE US ALONE! Jesus Murphy, what do you people want from us? Another season of the highly acclaimed (in Kev’s mind) and award-winning (in Randy’s delusional fantasies) Queen podcast? We gotcha back Jack. And speaking of Backs, this episode covers the chatty kind. This one covers…

Kev’s in Ottawa, Randy was in Flin Flon, but by the grace of all the gods that ever existed (and there have been a lot!) they managed to get together to spin the accursed wheel and talk, at inordinate length, about another song in the Queen catalogue. This week it’s an outtake from The Miracle…
