To me It's a Hard Life.I think that this song deserves better video than it is.

Back Chat. I didn't even realise they'd released it as a single until recently!
Also Calling All Girls. Kind of clinical looking. Like the above: caged Freddie. Let him out!
My only problem with It's A Hard Life is the other three were kind of marginalised and maybe they should have had bigger roles, but other than that, it was kinda cool, just very Freddie!
Calling all girls...really dumb with zero interest from anyone involved. Freddie's prawn outfit in Hard life was awful but extravagant as it was, it was at least colourful. Roger complains about it but it isn't that much removed from the video for Power to Love by the Cross.
I think the band look great in those Hot Space videos.
The Miracle
Not their worst video, but I always feel that Under Pressure deserved something a bit better
It's a Hard Life, i can't even bring myself to watch it anymore !
Whats wrong with Its a Hard Life? I know it's pure Freddie, I don't like the cheap live versions as Another One Bites The Dust, Fat Bottomed Girls and Hammer To Fall.
Body language
The video for "I Want To Break Free" has gotten creepy over the years.

Agreed - Fat Bottomed Girls amd Another One Bites The Dust are really not great. Don't Stop Me Now even has the piano pulled in across the stage set as they were too lazy to shoot any wider angled or more imaginative shots.

I don't mind It's a Hard Life video, but agree with Invisible Woman that it didn't do that song justice. It's a brilliant song in my view and the video is too 'glaring' and takes away from the song's depth. But I appreciate the video, just wish it was with a different song, lol
I say the worst would be Calling All Girls because I think everyone including the director just gave up. It's A Hard Life isn't the worst but consider more as inappropriate considering the nature of the song but guess there are some visually pleasing scenes compared to CAG.
