Name That Tune

Hi everyone, Katie here.

The production of my upcoming music video has had me a little tied up. Don't worry, no rope was involved. In the meantime I thought it would be fun to give you a few clues. See if anyone is smart enough to...


NAME THAT TUNE


Era: Mid-70's

Sales: 3rd best selling single in UK of all time


Top of the Charts Factoids:
  • When released, the song stayed at the top of the UK Singles charts for 9 weeks.
  • 15 years later, after the death of one of the band members, it again reached #1 on the UK Singles charts. This time for 5 weeks.
  • The next year, the song reached #2 on the US charts after being featured in a popular movie.

Do I sound like Casey Kasem yet?


What makes it unique?
  • The song has no chorus section.
  • But it has everything else - a ballad, a guitar solo, a hard rock section....even a little opera thrown in.


From my guitar solo.



I also get to play the piano.



Did I mention that I dance the Fandango?


Now again I must insist that you do not ask your friend, Mr. Google, for help. If you can't stand it and decide to cheat, just don't give it away.

On your marks.
Get set.
GO!

  9. Like Andrea, we were singing the song but couldn't think of the title. Glogirly must've been a Queen groupie. Heh heh. Can I be in it? Pluuuu-leeezzze?

  10. My human did not have to do any Googling - she knew it right away. Of course someone already guessed by the time we got here, oh well!

  11. Conga Rats to those who guessed so quickly. My human is SO lame about song titles and groups - she had to go to You Tube and listen to it, and then of course she did remember the song, but not before that. We look forward to seeing your music video when it si finished, Glogirly and Katie!

  14. Hi Katie...OMC Mom and I don't have a clue...and it could be because she is older than dirt. MOL Don't tell her I said that!! What a great post and you are so talented.

  16. Oh rats...we are late arriving here but mom told me right away it must be Bohemian Rhapsody...because...well she used to sing it at the top of her lungs while driving in the car with her high school buds....yup...in the 70's. She's SO OLD!

    Purrs,
