3. Freddie Mercury's Inspiration For Bohemian Rhapsody
It's frequently voted as one of the greatest songs of all time, but the rumours surrounding Bohemian Rhapsody's composition have lent the track even greater infamy. The story goes that Freddie Mercury wrote the song while seated at a beautiful glass piano, while a groupie (male or female, depending on who relays the story) gave him oral sex from beneath the instrument. Who wouldn't write one of the best tracks ever if they were in that environment? To be fair, Mercury's falsetto vocals during the song's mid-section are fairly orgasmic. Almost as if he was going through some form of sexual ecstasy. Next time you listen to listen Freddie's declaration of "easy come, easy go", you'll think twice about its implications.
