May AND Freddie Mercury. It turns out that "Fat Bottomed Girls" was released as a co-single with "Bicycle Race", which Mercury wrote. Both drove the chart position and they reached #24 in the US, as high as #7 in some Euro countries. Both are still in use as semi-novelty songs. Which was part of Queen's problem, that too much of their stuff was semi-novelty.

Yeah, I think there was a PIAA rule that you couldn't play a high school basketball game without a "We will rock you/We are the champions" intro.

A lesson narrowly avoided by Rush after their release of "I Think I'm Going Bald" ...

In Queen's defense...their main comeptition for fans in their heyday was KISS.

I never would have considered Queen to have had a problem selling records.

That's no defence

It's a fine line. I wonder whether ZZ Top was skating on the edge of semi-novelty, sometimes. But, as the official coolest guys in the world, they scoff at such concerns. They just don their cheap sunglasses and eat some TV dinners while they do the tube snake boogie.

(making the rockin' world go 'round)

I'd never thought of Queen as having semi-novelty songs.
The Eurovision Song Contest has affected my sense of judgement.

For me, every day is the boringest day here (not that I think that was the real reason behind the poll somehow) because I am in the wrong time zone. I'd wake up early and catch the Aussies, but HM takes the laptop to bed, so I don't get it til midday.

Then I get tired before most of the Merkins come out to play.
Snot fair.

I will start a laptop fund. Send cash! PM me for my address.
(just kidding, I would spend it recklessly)
I might just have to drop hints to HM about how he really needs a new laptop so I can have this. Not as mean as it sounds, he was talking seriously about it a month ago.

Buy him a doll instead...

My daughter's music teacher was really into Queen and they did an entire school concert of their music

It's not an issue of the most boring day, it's an issue of the more boring time of the day.

Being 13 hours ahead of Philly time can be boring.

Fortunately night time is the right time for me but even still. :D
