“Bohemian Rhapsody” is a song written by Freddie Mercury, originally recorded by the band Queen for their 1975 album A Night at the Opera. The song is in the style of a rock opera, and has a very unusual musical structure for a piece of popular music. Its six different sections have no chorus but both a cappella and heavy metal arrangements. Despite this, it was released as a single and became a huge commercial success, marking a decisive point in Queen’s career and setting them on the way to become one of the world’s most popular bands. The single was accompanied by what is generally cited as a groundbreaking “promotional video”, which helped establish the visual language of the modern music video. The song was included in all of Queen’s subsequent live concert performances and still enjoys great popularity all over the world.
