Bohemian Rhapsody

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song by the British rock band Queen, released in 1975. It is originally recorded in the key of B? major. The song was composed by Queen's lead vocalist and pianist Freddie Mercury. Known for its innovative and eclectic style, "Bohemian Rhapsody" defied the traditional structure of popular songs at the time, combining elements of progressive rock, opera, and balladry. The track features Mercury's powerful vocals, intricate harmonies, and a wide range of musical dynamics. Notably, it holds the distinction of being one of the longest songs to reach the top of the charts. With its iconic piano intro, soaring vocals, and memorable lyrics, "Bohemian Rhapsody" has become one of Queen's most beloved and enduring songs, establishing itself as a timeless classic in the rock music canon.
