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.

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

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.

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.
