If we're going to get really pedantic, like our little firecracker una999 has, I don't hear any first "The", but it may be obscured by some music or something.
ultimatequeen.co.uk backs me up on this: link
and so does Andy's Queen page: link
well my penny's worth the printed lyrics on the miracle on the album say "the wonders of this world go on" will check the vid cos if my memory serves me right the four heads move from left to right starting with freddie
well im glad i checked it actually starts with john then freddie rog & bri & its deffo ("the" etc...( if you watch the video its clear god this is sad though haha
I always say - remove those damned articles from your language, we don't have them in Russian and things are so easy and people are so happy over here...
And just for all disbelievers :p link

PS: the 'The' is very silent, but definatly there. And yes, I have too much free time on my hands.
