Your favourite VOCAL-PHRASING lines (studio versions)

I am talking  phrases that Freddie ( or May/Taylor) used such phrashing that made you go back and listen again and again that part. The infectious ones...

For me:

1) "[b][i]And whatever will be will be-We'll keep on trying-We'll just keep on trying[/i][/b]"  (from 6:00 Innuendo)

2) "[b][i]What a dirty laddie-oh / He's my hero ah/ The nymph in yellow / COME TO SAY HELLO[/i][/b]"
(The way he "answers" to the melody -The fairy feller's master-stroke)

3) "[b][i]I reign with my left hand I rule with my right-I'm lord of all darkness I'm queen of the nigh[/i][/b]t" 
( March of the black Queen)

4) "[b][i]Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know-Better sit back and go[/i][/b]" 
(from 1:45 of These Are The Days Of Our Lives)

5) " [i][b]For we who grew up tall and proud[/b][/i]"  (Hammer to Fall)

6) "[b][i]Today the headlines tomorrow hard times-And no-one ever really knows the truth from the lies-And in the end the story deeper must hide-Deeper and deeper and deeper inside[/i][/b]" 
(from 3:50 Scandal)

7) "[b][i]Mercurial more wayward by the hour[/i][/b]" (The Fallen Priest )

nice topic Stelios

for me:

[i][b]each morning I get up - I die a little, can barely stand on my feet[/b][/i]

The "Somebody to love" after the guitar solo and just before the final verse of "Got no feel, I got no rhythm, I just keep losing my beat"

"one day you'll be a sergeant major,oh you'll be so proud. Screaming out your bloody orders,but not too loud". Don't try so hard

"I'll eat them whole before I done,the battles fun and the game is won" Gimme the prize.

Oh there's a lot :P

In no particular order:

"Drop of a hat she's as willing as playful as a pussy cat then momentarily out of action temporarily out of gas to absolutely drive you wild" - Killer Queen
"Oh flee for your life, who heed me not let all your treasure make you, oh fear for your life, deceive you not the fires of hell will take you should death await you" - The Prophet's Song
"Take a look around every skin and bone, come on, get it, get ya, get ya, yeah" - White Man
"Hey c'mon baby said it's all right to rock'n'roll on a Saturday night" - Rock it (Prime Jive)
"Play the game of love" - Play The Game (3:03)
"Coming soon, on the outside, of the tracks" - Coming Soon (0:45)
"You stand so tall you don't frighten me at all just leave me alone" - Back Chat
"When you're through with life and all hope is lost, hold out your hand 'cos right till the end" - Friends Will Be Friends (3:09)
"Listen all you people, come gather round I gotta get me a game plan, gotta shake you to the ground, but just give me, huh, what I know is mine, people do you hear me, just gimme the sign" - I Want It All
"Today the headlines, tomorrow hard times and no-one ever really knows the truth from the lies and in the end the story deeper must hide, deeper and deeper and deeper inside" - Scandal
"Was it all worth it yeah yeah, giving all my heart and soul, staying up all night, was it all worth it, ooh living breathing rock 'n' roll this never ending fight" - Was It All Worth It (4:35)
"Hey, tread that fine line, yeah we'll keep on smiling, yeah, and whatever will be - will be" - Innuendo (5:35)
"Oh don't try so hard, oh don't take it all to heart, it's only fools they make these rules, don't try so hard" - Don't Try So Hard (2:55)
"That's what everybody says wait and see, it was really meant to be so plain to see yeah, everybody, everybody, everybody tells me so, yes it was plain to see, yes it was meant to be written in the stars..." - Made in Heaven
"Out in the city, in the cold world outside, I don't want pity, just a safe place to hide" - Mother Love
"I seem to be what I'm not you see" - The Great Pretender (2:23)
The whole choir part of The Golden Boy, also pretty much everything from How Can I Go On and The Fallen Priest
"My love is dangerous, because I'm your enemy, watch your step carefully 'cause I know, I know, I know, I know, I know me dangerous, no can give you guarantee, I'm your one day ecstasy next day no" - My Love is Dangerous
"People fighting for their human rights but we just go on saying see'est la vie, so this is life" - There Must Be More To Life Than This
"We've got to trust in one another or there'll be no more future at all" - Time
"There's a face at the window and I ain't never, never sayin' goodbye" - No-One But You

Sorry for this list being so huge :P But I thought it would be fair if I wrote down all the bits I like - I can't possibly choose just one or two.

I could give up all my life
For just one kiss
I would surely die
If you dismiss me from your love

I always think it would have been cool for Freddie to actually lose the timing slightly while singing this line, to accentuate the point..

..............my fine friend,take me wiz you und love me, for-ev-er, my fine friend.....
Nobody on the planet could have been so imaginative.

The whole bridge coming out of the solo in Heaven for Everyone. I think its some of the best lyrics Roger ever penned & one of the best vocals Freddie ever recorded. His emotion and attitude just capture the whole embodiment of that section of lyrics. I get chills when I listen to it.

Also, "Ohhh come back to me, oh my love. How I long for your love..." The Millionaire Waltz

for me it's "through the madness through the tears we've still got each other for a million years" from i can't live with you because i think it really sums up the end and the future

You covered mine: #3. I love that song and it really reaches its peak (for me atleast) at that point. I'm glad someone already mentioned Back Chat as I feel guilty for loving that song as much as I do. It has another favorite phrasing of mine: "Back off (me?)... be cool... and learn to change your ways...'cause you're talking in your sleep and you're walking in a daze". There is nothing spectacular about the lyrics but I love the way Freddie sings them. Of course I would love to hear him singing a phone book...

So mystic, surrealistic - WIAWI

My life is in your hands, i'll fo and i'll fie - MOTBQ (Roger's line)

When I'm Gone (middle 8) - Teo Torriate

Mooghead: I've absolutely and categorically zero respect for you as a QZer, or as a human being for that matter, but I completely agree with that. It would've been fantastic!

- My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies. Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die. (TSMGO)

Yes, that would've been nice (Somebody to Love).


My pics:
"Come to say hello" and "He's my hero, a-aah" - as mentioned on top, from The Fairy Fellers Master-Stroke.

"And will we be together ... forever?" - You and I

"My love is pumpin' through my vains, driving me insane..." - second chourus, Play the Game

"Disslocate your spine if you don't sign..." -the low voice in Flick of the Wrist

The beginning of My Fairy King, the whole song, really.
