Bohemian Rhapsody
Freddie Mercury never fully explained the meaning of the song's lyrics, only saying that the song was written "about relationships". However, band members have implied that they know the meaning but choose not to divulge it, considering it "a private matter for the composer" (Mercury).http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/27/arts/music/27quee.html?ex=1293339600&en=5825caa9f4db1fb0&ei=5090
Recording the song proved to be a difficult task, requiring 12 hour days of harmonizing to accomplish the operatic sound Mercury wanted. Queen's record label, EMI, considered the six minute song to be too lengthy for radio, but when the band refused to shorten it, it was eventually aired. The band also recorded a promotional video for the song, which is credited as the first real music video.http://www.blender.com/guide/66831/greatest-songs-ever-bohemian-rhapsody.html
