Randy has been dirt track racing. Listener feedback about the previous song, Great King Rat. “Dripping in filth!” Randy’s own song Kick The Lizards Off This. For a change this episode, because its episode 39, they are actually not spinning the wheel that chooses a random Queen song, but this time time they’re doing the non-random song ‘39, a Brian May written song from the album A Night At The Opera. John Deacon’s first try at double bass. Alternate tuning on the 12 string acoustic guitar. “Maritime music.” Bugs Bunny opera singing. Slightly irritating that in a couple of places the dialogue is lost because of what I’m guessing or misplaced inserts? The vote!!!! 😮 Listening to the live version from Earls Court in 1977, sung by Freddie instead of Brian. Should they talk about cheese? let’s see what Randy and Mr Kevin do next time.
