Wow, super-deep track from Queen.  Is this from Night at the Opera?

News of the World, I'm thinking -- or whatever the one after that was.
You are correct, sir.  And I'm embarrassed to have suggested it was on an album released in 1975.  And Day at the Races was in between those two.

This whole set felt like a long car commercial to me.

gotta say: that car commercial with the Asian guy singing this song (off key) is pretty cute.

I was noticing that too.  I think he's singing "He wants the sunshine AND his name"; i.e., he got a name, he got a name.

I was always kinda disappointed that Queen didn't keep up the Marx Bros. naming convention for more than two albums. News of the World coulda been Monkey Business, Jazz could have been Go West...

to which I say: "Horsefeathers!" (or "Duck Soup" or "At the Circus"... although with Freddie's rep "Room Service" mighta been most appropriate)

thanks, I might have gotten to listen today, but our standing 20 minute morning meeting at 9:30 didn't start until 9:55, and then it went for an hour.  Alas.

But I can't really complain too much.  The new job is going quite well.  Next week another 2 guys are coming on board and probably a 3rd within another couple of days.  So I won't be the new guy any more.

Wow - I didn't know "Every Kind of People" was from '78. Whatever Sally did to him in that alley, she must have done pretty fast. (Those are two pretty different sounds to be so closely chronologically related).

Just did a quick scan of the DB and no fewer than FIVE of today's songs were bustouts: EWF, Nick Lowe, The Who, Bob Seger, and Queen. The first two really surprised me--I'd swear we've heard both of those, but if we did it was in the period not covered in the DB, or confusing it with something Ginger played (still miss her spin on 10@10, btw).
