if you listen to madona's song - dont cry for me argentina - there is a line that has the words "and as for fame and as for fortune"...this sounds very similar to the line "you brought me fame and fortune..." Has anyone noticed this?

"We Are the Champions" was written by Freddie Mercury in 1977
"Don't Cry for Me Argentina" is a song from the 1978 musical Evita.

And it's not Madonna's song. Aside from that everything you said is entirely plausible and I wish to subscribe to your crazy newsletters.

That, plus it's not like "fame and fortune" is an uncommon phrase.

Yeah, i have the feeling that (the great ) Freddie Mercury was'nt all that original and was a desperate plagarist, dont know how he got away with it for so long.

Actually folks, DCFMA was first in the charts for Julie Covington in 76, if i remember rightly, the same time as 'somebody to love', working on Hebburn revites, serving my time, but then i digress...

A few words doesnt make a song. Aside from 2 words very close to each other (fame, fortune) there's not at lot of coincidences...
Thinking that the use of this words means that Freddie stole some lyrics is as foolish as claiming that every song with the words "nothing really matters" are taken directly from Bohemian Rhapsody.
But now that we talk about Rice and Lloyd Webber and their (not Madonna's) Evita musical...
Wasnt Lloyd Webber the guy who stole Puccini's, Mendelssohn's and even Pink Floyd's music to their musicals?
