Love playing this! I think I’ve underappreciated just how good Queen was. My 10 year old daughter heard the song “Bicycle” on a recent road trip for the first time and loved it. She already liked “Bohemian Rhapsody”, so we decided to listen to a Queen playlist the rest of the ride. What really struck me was how musically ambitious they were. Every song is carefully arranged and interesting. Take this song, a good fun simple tribute to 50’s rock and roll on the surface. Look closer and there is some super cool harmonic things happening. Song is in D, opening riff is major, but just a few seconds later you’ve got C, F, and Bb, in there so now its more like D minor. It toggles around almost seamlessly in that lovely rock and roll way. Okay that’s enough theory, contact someone smarter for a better explanation Thanks for checking out my cover.
