10 Rock Songs Too Weird To Get Big

Throughout Queen's career, you never got the impression that they were taking things all too seriously. While every member of these rock royals were an absolute monster behind their instruments, there was always a tongue in cheek nature to the more outlandish sides of their catalog like Bohemian Rhapsody and Killer Queen. Though a Night at the Opera signaled some more extravagant avenues for Queen, Seaside Rendezvous is one of the most whimsical songs they've ever made.

Written as an homage to the 1920s style of dancehall music, Freddie Mercury piled on the charm in every single aspect of this song, even having a swing rhythm that you would find in some pre-war jazz than rock and roll. As if the actual tune wasn't enough, the "horn" break is one of the funniest parts of Queen's catalog, as Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor mimic the sound of brass instruments and use thimbles to simulate tapdancing before going into the final chorus.

Given that this was meant to be a sideshow piece, it almost makes sense that this was relegated for the hardcore fans to find on their own time, with more commercial material like You're My Best Friend taking the prime single spots. Still, if you're in the market for a little bit of cheeky fun in your rock and roll, this is still a ton of fun regardless.
