at the beginning of the tune, freddie teases another famous tune, doesn't he? I hear him riffig off a song i know, but i cant for the life of me figure it out. What song does he sneak a few bars in of?

thanks
Typical rhytmical pulsation of waltz? There are lots of old waltzes that have that "feel".

I agree. Type "Strauss waltz" into Kazaa's searchbox and I'm sure you'll find a song that starts similarly.

I think this is just a generic waltz thing - so it may/or may not be part of a Strauss thing.

However, anyone else notice that 'Good Old Fashioned Loverboy' lifts a 'riff' from the lullaby 'Rock-a-bye-baby'?

Rock-a-bye-baby
On the tree top
When the wind blows
the cradle will rock
When the bough brakes
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all

I've always noticed that too, the "when I'm not with you" part, that is.

It would be interesting to know whether such things were put there by Freddie on purpose, or unconciously.

Songs are giving the entertainment to the people and they need the different ideas. From this time I am giving essayshark reviews that are giving the suitable results for working in all the manners.
^hadn't noticed that. Thanks for the imparting... certainly would fit the playfulness of the song with a few minor changes.. .


Kinda like the MAN FRIDAY AND JUNIOR JIVE thing has many elements of EVELYN CHAMPAGNE KINGs big hit and STEPPIN OUT goes with KEEP PASSING THE OPEN WINDOWS and BREAKTHRU with THE BOYS OF SUMMER.

hmm. .....Maybe we've all been had! ;)
