I love being a fan of queen and the beatles because you're listening to and album and there's a heavy metal song about helter skelters then a few tracks later is an 8-minute-long avant-garde song where most of the lyrics is just someone saying "number 9" repeated a ridiculous number of times or you're listening to an album and there's a rock love song addressed to a car and a few tracks later is a folk-ballad about einstein's theory of special relativity
to everyone who isn't a fan of either of these bands: I'm not making these up, these are all actual songs that exist.
And the funniest part is I could've used weirder examples from these albums as well - like The Prophet's Song, an eight-minute-long prog rock song about noah's ark, or Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey which I feel is self-explanatory

Brian May was right it would be fucked up if you went to space for a year and came back a hero and a legend but oops it's been 100 years and everyone is dead

Fave Queen Songs Except Bohemian Rhapsody: Poll #2
I feel that title explains the premise a bit better! Following from "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" vs "The Show Must Go On," we've got a new pair!

AUSSIE CREST TEST RESULTS
Whoever wrote that short article on Andy Gibb in the December issue and made wisecracks about his beautiful choppers probably wore braces ten years and his old lady never bought him any Crest! Roger Daltrey's teeth are prettier! How about Freddie Mercury?

PILTDOWN BAND EXPOSED!
Being an attentive rock fan, I discovered a surprising fact that deals with the ever-magnanimous operarockers—Queen. While chronologically listing and numbering Queen's tunes, starting with their first album to the present News Of The World, side one to side two of every album, I attained the fact that Brian May's "39" is none other than the thirty-ninth tune that Queen has written. Coincidence?

I love you translator notes I love you translators caring that I fully grasp the meaning of the original text I love you translators adding cultural context and specifics so I can better understand what's going on I love you long rants on why a joke is impossible to translate I love you translators adding their little comments to the scene I love you translators feeling human and involved in the material I love you translating as a form of art I love you little t/n abbreviation

Being in a household where multiple people listen to TMA means occasionally hearing muffled Jon screams from somebody's headphones. This is a normal part of my life.
