Ah, young and innocent, LOL. For all of the people who got into Queen young and had really weird perceptions of their music. Or did very strange Queen-obsessed things at a young age. Here's a few of mine: 1. I didn't get the undertones of Don't Stop Me Now, and planned on singing it for a school talent show. I was only stopped because I was a year too young. Luckily, I never got the experience of my teachers going, "wait... SEX MACHINE!?" 2. I didn't get what Body Language was about, either. 3. In Bo Rhap, I thought it was the mother that killed the man. 4. In 3rd grade I made a volcano and used one of those talk-boy pens to record Under Pressure and play it when the volcano erupted. 5. I thought that in Bicycle Race, people should watch out for the Fat Bottomed Girls because they run people off the road. (Why I thought this, I do not know.) 6. I always associated You're My Best Friend with this stuffed dog I had. 7. I used to write Christmas pagents that would feature "Seven Seas of Rhye" and other songs off Greatest Hits (American version). "Now I'm Here" was always the credits music. 8. I thought Play the Game was actually about a game - I assumed Chess. 9. I giggled because Body Language had the word "sexy" in it, not realizing that the ENTIRE SONG was really, really DIRTY. 10. I had a classmate with a very similar name to Roger's, and it always boggled my mind that Roger was so cool and my classmate was so annoying. (I also had a classmate named Levan, whom I always thought of when I heard "Levon" by Elton John.) 11. I probably tried to write a letter to Freddie. I don't specifically remember doing it, but I probably did. It would be pretty sad if I actually sent it. 12. I thought that Fat Bottomed Girls' line about "Are you gonna take me home tonight? Ah down beside that red firelight" just meant that the girls lived on a street with a streetlight. |

I thought that in Bo-Rhap the mother killed the man too... I used to think WWRY repeated MUD ON YOUR FACE BIG DISGRACE everytime... i was 5 what did i know?? I thought that mountain dew commerical they did spoofing the Bo-Rhap video was actually them... but again, i was younger and not as into the world of queen i am now... I thought You're My Best Friend was the Beatles for a time... And thats about it i think for the time being... lol aahhh i miss being that young and innocent sometimes... |

1. I thought Freddie looked like my dad 2. when i was younger and i only had one queen album, night at the opera (my parents didnt take me seriously when i asked them i wanted more), i thought that roger's voice was brian's and brian's voice was roger's. 3. i didnt really get body language until one day i was home listening to it and i paid attention to the lyrics. my mom was in the room and i was blushing like mad when i realized what that song was all about 4. in killer queen, when freddie sang 'went down to geisha minah, i thought he was saying (blushing) vagina so, even though it hurt me, i would always skip it in the car and my mom would yell at me because she liked it 5. when i saw the bohemian rhapsody video for the first time, i thought freddie was elton john....... 6. i could never remember the band members name theres probably more, i just dont remember.... |

my friend tried to convince me that Brian sang "Save Me".... She said that she knew because it was written in the sleeve of one of her compliation albums who sang it... I tried telling her that was who wrote it... She wouldnt believe me... I think she still thinks thats how it goes... o well! |
| Carol! the Musical 27.06.2006 23:29 |
I thought that on the sleeves, where it said who wrote the song, was the one who sang it... so when I went to listen to the Prophet's Song after like a million years, I was like, "Brian sounds different!" XD On the pic on the sleeve of ANATO, my sister talked me into thinking Roger was actually Brian. "But what about the blonde hair?", I asked. "Just the lighting.", my sister told me. :P Then I didn't know the slender fellow with eyeliner and black nail polish was the fit man with a moustache.. I also didn't believe he was the guy who hit high notes. So I thought the moustached guy had Roger's voice, and was therefore the drummer. And I got Brian and Freddie mixed up.. There's more.. on the pic inside the ADATR lyrics booklet, remember Deaky and those jumpers? I asked my dad, "Is that guy gay?" XD He answered, "No, but this guy is.." Then I noticed Freddie's ultra tight leotard! XD |

For the longest time I had Freddie and Brian mixed up. Because of that I thought "Brian" died of AIDS which he must have contracted from a woman, cause he certainly didn't appear to be very gay at all. The first time I listened to "Body Language" I thought Freddie said, "Knock me down for some sex anytime!" I thought Freddie sang the "Made In Heaven" track close to his death like some of the others (i.e. "Mother Love..."). |

Bohemian Rhapsody confused me for a short while. Not because of who killed the man or any of the lyrics really but because the first time (and only place I heard it for a while) was on my uncle's CD copy of Live Magic (the first CD I remember anyone in my family owning btw) with the opera section edited out. When I eventually got around to listening to A Night at the Opera I could not get my head around the fact that it was the same song but with all that weird stuff in the middle. It was only after several listens of both versions one after the other that I realised what was going on and that the Live magic version was edited. Kids Hey!! |

Also i always thougth when i was little Freddie didnn't sing 'Save me" but "Sandy" which confused me because Sandy was the girl from Grease... |

When I was yonger and I saw Queen on T.V the guy that stuck in my mind was Brian. I just remembered the hair. But the name that stuck was Freddie Mercury. So I always thought that Brians name was Freddie Mercury and when I was told about the sparky unitards Freddie was into in the 70's I had lurid visions in my mind of Bri in Freddie's stagewear. EWWWW! It was only after I saw the Greatest Hits LP sleeve that I realised the moustached man was Freddie |

I've finally got my little brother into Queen! It is so funny when he tries to sing their songs, he gets all the words wrong. For "Death on Two Legs" he says "Jumping to Late!" For Radiogaga, when it goes,"Someone still loves you!" He says "You can learn kongfu!" For Under pressure, when it goes, "Pressure, pushing down on me, pushing down on you" he says "Bushup, Bushup killed my friend, he's a friend killer" |

I thought Freddie looked some young computer geek with acne before I had ever seen a picture of him. |

I thought Brian was the one with the raspy voice. |
| Hooligan's Holiday 28.06.2006 12:08 |
About a year or two ago, when I first got into Queen, I thought Brian was Roger, and Roger was Brian. |
| Mr.Jingles 28.06.2006 12:17 |
For a long time I thought that the intro verse for 'Who Wants To Live Forever' was sung by Freddie under a different tone. It was only when I watched the video that I realized it was Brian. |

When I was in fourth grade, we wrote a musical of Miss Nelson is Missing, and we got to name some of the characters. And I named the character I played Lila, and another character Freddie. And this guy I don't like very much played Freddie, and I find it hilarious that he never knew where the name came from. |

When i first heard 'Machines' at 'It's self perpetuation a parahumanoidarianised' i thought 'a parahumanoidarianised' part actually was something like '...who hunts for a human almost every night'. I have no idea why! Then i looked at the lyrics and saw that huge word! lol |

In 1991, when I was three, the Ukrainian TV started to show international video clips; one of these clips was Innuendo. I did not watch it till the end right until I became a 'Queen fan', because I was scared of the beginning... Oh yes; being eight years old, when I first listened to 'Barcelona' I thought Freddie was an opera singer... |

In Who wants to live forever, I always thought Freddie was saying "I love my style" (instead of "When love must die") At the very beginning, I thought they were Americans (I'm ashamed). |

When I was about ten and didn't know anything whatsoever, I always thought of I Want To Break Free as the song from the Eircom ad and thought it was Pat Shortt's song. |

I always thought it was "I love my stile", but I thought it didn't make any sense with the rest of the lyric. When I saw the Break Free photo, I thought it was in the 70's because of the long hairs. In the beginning of my Queenfan stuff (I had only the Greatest Hits I&II) I never listened to Fat Bottomed Girls because I thought it was a very dirty music for grown up people. |
