Queen

Most of you know that I'm on the cutting edge of the music scene, so this will surprise you.  New Year's morning I was sleeping, with one foot on the floor, and, as is my wont, had my XM headphones on.  At some point I woke to avoid teh spiders, and heard this melody -- for the first time ever (does that make me a bad person?). With a great deal of difficulty I opened my eyes and pushed my face to within 4 inches of the tiny XM radio display, so as to identify it.  Killer Queen.  As far as I knew, the band Queen had cut just record, We Will Rock You, in their career.  And that knowledge only because Cole Field House watchers of Maryland hoops, would chant it in closing minutes of victories over the likes of UNC Chapel Hill, and Duke.    I just now remembered it, so here it is.  It's still not my favorite song of all time, not even close.   This is.
