Good evening all you rock & rollers! ;-) Which Queen song contains absolutely no background vocals? |
| Josuè 09.10.2004 06:36 |
Somebody to Love :P just joking Rain Must Fall maybe? |
| brENsKi 09.10.2004 06:45 |
god save the queen or the wedding march from flash |
| Ron 09.10.2004 06:54 |
Procession? |
| Penis - Vagina 09.10.2004 07:06 |
I Want To Break Free has none. I think there are several actually. |
| BackToHuman 09.10.2004 07:12 |
'Spread Your Wings' would be another one. are we looking for singles only, or any Queen track with no BGVs? |
| juls 09.10.2004 07:22 |
i mean all songs with lead but no background vocals. interesting, how many there are :) |
| Penis - Vagina 09.10.2004 07:48 |
Freddie doubles his own voice for the choruses of TATDOOL.. would that be disqualified? Because they didn't leave any vocal in the karaoke mix. Actually 'Break Free' is the same way for selected phrases.. I think it's all Freddie and there's absolutely none on the karaoke mix. Out of the 35 karaoke mixes, they've all been mentioned.. those with no vocals at all, but 'Spread Your Wings' still has "fly with me" at the end for some reason. |
| juls 09.10.2004 08:16 |
Interesting! I have to admit, I thought (!) Spread your wings is the only one without any background vocals. I forgot Rain must fall - ... hell, it is hard to tell without listening to it for a while...it's not really one of my favorites... Is there a Queen song without Brian playing or singing anything? Hoo, next one :) |
| Daburcor? 09.10.2004 08:36 |
LMAO! |
| BackToHuman 09.10.2004 08:38 |
'My Melancholy Blues', right? |
| Bohardy 09.10.2004 09:14 |
Lost Opportunity. Hijack My Heart? Bijou. |

| Penis - Vagina 09.10.2004 10:35 |
Yeah I think that's just because it's so screamy it leaked to another track. |
| Lester Burnham 09.10.2004 10:48 |
Does Jealousy have backing vocals? EDIT: Bijou does not. |
| crowley 09.10.2004 12:36 |
"It's a Beautiful Day" definitely doesn't have any backing vocals. And "I'm Going Slightly Mad" is also in 100% sung by Freddie. 'I Want To Break Free" ahs got chorus in the part "god knows" |
| Penis - Vagina 09.10.2004 12:59 |
Slightly Mad has some 'oooh ooohs' though, even if it's Freddie it's background.. they're still in the karaoke mix too :-P I consider that more of a background vocal than a double-tracked vocal saying the same thing as the lead, such as with Break Free... but I dunno :) |
| Perry 09.10.2004 13:47 |
I ain't listened to the song in a while, but what about 'Nevermore'? I don't think that had backing vocals... |
| MatiasQueen89 09.10.2004 15:52 |
Nevermore has backing vocals.... My Melancholy Blues has no backing vocals... |
| deleted user 09.10.2004 15:52 |
love of my life i would think ! and lap of the gods the original one may be ?!? |

| KingMercury 10.10.2004 01:29 |
hi folks here's King Mercury to answer this question i've think about it a little while and i guess AOBTD have no background vocals Maybe i'm wrong, but it's hard to find a queen song with no background vocals...this is a good topic! There can be another song with no BGVs..."is this the world we created" i think there are more songs whit no BGVs |
| Shane Jazz 10.10.2004 01:35 |
How about Life is Real? Any backing vocals on there? (I'm trying to play it through in my head- and God knows that doesn't account for much!) |
| crowley 10.10.2004 04:02 |
I was thinking about this quiz, while I was taking a shower this morning and I think that: "Too Much Love Will Kill You", "My Life Has Been Saved", "Under Pressure", "Cool Cat", "Misfire", "She Makes Me" have none. As for "Is This The World We Created" I don't treat it as a Queen's song (just as a duet of Freddie & Brian released on the Queen album) and yes - now you can kill me |
| Canadian May Fan 10.10.2004 10:47 |
"Too Much Love Will Kill You" and "Under Pressure" DO have backing vocals (it's harder to hear UP's but Roger's voice is singing with Freddie and David at the very end and only there). AOBTD has smaller phrases too (kind of like a B3 or something), as does the reprise of "It's a Beautiful Day". |
| Canadian May Fan 10.10.2004 10:48 |
Almost forgot. The studio version of "Love of my Life" has TONS of backing vocals. |

| ♥Killer_Queen1946♥ 10.10.2004 18:34 |
Dear Friends? |
| MatiasQueen89 10.10.2004 19:13 |
Brian played piano on Dear Friends... One Year Of Love is Fredie, John, Roger and Steve Gregory. Brian wasn't in the studio then. |
| Queen Katherine 10.10.2004 19:45 |
What about Good Company? I'm fairly sure that has no backing vocals, but I could be wrong... |
| FriedChicken 10.10.2004 19:56 |
Spread Your Wings doesn't have backing vocals |
| FriedChicken 10.10.2004 19:57 |
"Slightly Mad has some 'oooh ooohs' though, even if it's Freddie it's background" I think those Ooooh's are sung by Brian |
| LiveAidQueen 10.10.2004 21:01 |
This one is very confusing. |

Well...nobody mentioned Seven Seas of Rhye from Queen (I). |
| juls 11.10.2004 13:09 |
okay, the instrumental tracks opted out :) Thank you for answering to this topic. Quite a lot of good songs don't have the Queen trademark So, there are: Spread your wings, Is this the World..?, My melancholy Blues, Rain must fall, The Hero, Too much love..., My life has been saved (although, I haven't heard the Scandal-B-side version for a while,...), Mother Love (absolutely forgot this one), and Cool Cat. The mentioned Nevermore, Dear Friends and Lap of the gods have some harmonies, Misfire has overlapping lead vocals, but also harmonies in the back (in the bridge part), She makes me is with a minimum triple choir, plus doubled lead vocals, Good company is Brian doing the backing vocals. Hope now everythings right. |
| GSMAG 11.10.2004 21:10 |
Rain Must Fall has harmony on the last rain must FAAA AAAL! |
