10 Hidden Details You Never Noticed In Rock Songs

Never for a second was Queen ever a band to be taken all that seriously. Aside from the massive epics like Bohemian Rhapsody to look back on, the amount of charm that Freddie Mercury put into every one of the band's songs always tended to have a bit of tongue in cheek humor to it. When it comes to Seaside Rendezvous, these rock royals really pulled out all the stops.

From the second the music starts, this is clearly supposed to be a pastiche of the glorious 1920's, as Mercury sings like a leader of a rock and roll swing band. Once we pause for the lead break though, things really start getting interesting, as the "horn" section comes in. Compared to the normal horns Queen could have afforded, the brass that we hear is actually the result of Mercury and Roger Taylor making realistic brass sounds with their voices, with Taylor taking it in a bluesy direction for his solo.

As if to hit the nail on the head at the end, we get a little tap dancing section that was created by Taylor tapping out the steps with thimbles on the recording console. For all the other serious bands of their ilk, it was nice to hear a group like Queen interjecting some good natured fun back into their music.
