NEEDLE CRACKLES
3
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,200
# Is this the real life...? #
4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,880
We were suddenly in a sort of golden place.
5
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,000
# Is this just fantasy...? #
6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,800
We were sort of getting off on how far can we take this?
7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,680
It's nearly 30 years old and still one of the world's best loved songs.
8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,280
# Scaramouch, Scaramouch... #
9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,600
It's the biggest single of the century.
10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,440
# Thunderbolt and lightning... #
11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,160
I never heard anything like it.
12
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:46,760
For the first time ever, this is the full story behind Bohemian Rhapsody.
13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,840
We're on a journey of discovery back to the studio with the band.
14
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,720
The man who put it together is going to take it apart.
15
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,680
I've lost it.
16
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,520
OK, I've lost another Galileo.
17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,640
# Will not let you go! Let me go!... #
18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,520
We're going to find out how they made THAT video.
19
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,480
And you get this feedback that trails across.
20
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,360
# No, no, no, no
21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,240
# Oh, mama mia, mama mia... #
Mama mia, let me go.
22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,480
And we'll be asking
23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,560
some of the greatest literary minds in the country
24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,160
what the song is all about.
25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,440
Beelzebub does seem to make some sense!
26
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,400
# Me-e-e-e... #
27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,840
# Dun-dun-dun! #
28
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,240
Great stuff!
29
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,560
"Mama, I killed a man."
30
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,480
Wow! OK, I'm there! What happened?
31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,080
"Nothing happened! We all went off singing nonsense.
32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,800
"Scaramouch, can you do the fandango?" No!
33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,560
It hurts me now, when I hear the song, it hurts.
34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,040
# Any way the wind blows... #
35
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:05,800
1975.
36
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,640
History is made as the Americans and Russians meet in space.
37
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:14,640
Saigon falls and Vietnam is finally over.
38
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:18,600
At home, unemployment hits the one million mark
39
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,960
as Margaret Thatcher becomes the first woman to lead the Tory Party.
40
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,520
Jaws is a box-office smash.
41
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,000
And Queen release the single that will catapult them to stardom
42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,080
and provide inspiration for a new generation of rockers.
43
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,160
# So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
44
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,640
# Oh, baby-y-y... #
45
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,360
Axl Rose performed the song at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert
46
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,720
after the singer's death in 1991.
47
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,480
He was joined by a host of stars who'd grown up with Queen.
48
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,840
# Your mommy and your daddy gonna plague me till I die... #
49
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,760
1975, I was working in a factory in Sheffield
50
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,200
and daydreaming about wanting to be in a band
51
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,440
that could produce material of the quality of Bohemian Rhapsody.
52
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,040
# All your love tonight... #
53
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,520
I was obsessed with getting all the music that band put out.
54
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,560
It was a huge part of my whole growing up.
55
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,320
# Whoa, yeah! #
56
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,280
Even the band of the moment owe a huge debt to Queen.
57
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,400
Bohemian Rhapsody is the Holy Grail.
58
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,280
There's only that.
There's nothing else anywhere near it.
59
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,920
If you ask anybody, "Honestly, do you like Bohemian Rhapsody?"
60
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,640
if they say no, they're lying.
61
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,640
The release of Bohemian Rhapsody defied all logic.
62
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,960
It was a song that broke all the rules.
63
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,080
For a start, it was six minutes long...
64
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,120
..and it had an opera section.
65
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,240
# I see a little silhouetto of a man
66
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,640
# Scaramouch, Scaramouch Will you do the fandango...? #
67
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,640
Nothing like it had been heard before
68
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,800
and there's been nothing like it since.
But people loved it.
69
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,280
It went to number one and stayed there for nine weeks.
70
00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:20,080
# Magnifico-o-o-o... #
71
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,040
But Queen weren't a new band.
72
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,480
It had taken them almost five years to get there.
73
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,240
The year before, they'd had their first success
74
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,720
with Seven Seas Of Rhye.
75
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,320
Long lost from the BBC archive,
76
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,400
this Top Of The Pops performance was videoed by a fan.
77
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,120
Freddie's distinctive style was taking shape even then.
78
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,680
# Seven seas of Rhye... #
79
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:46,720
They always were different
80
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,080
to everybody else that was around at the time.
81
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,720
They always projected this image of
82
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,360
being the big, huge rock stars
83
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,840
even when they hadn't got two ha'pennies to rub together.
84
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:03,160
Queen even turned to women's fashion designer Zandra Rhodes.
85
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,400
I was well known as doing theatrical-type women's outfits,
86
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,560
and I think it showed quite an extraordinary sense of thought
87
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,920
that they came to me.
88
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:25,080
But it wasn't just the rock star look that Queen were perfecting.
89
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,960
Their unique sound was also beginning to take shape...
90
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,480
..thanks to their producer, Roy Thomas Baker.
91
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,320
Working with Queen meant, be pure definition,
92
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,280
you were working out of the zone.
93
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:41,080
Being told by Freddie and the guys,
94
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,960
"Queen II - we've got nothing to lose,
95
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,600
"just put anything in there,
96
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,040
"any idea you come up with, just give it a go."
97
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:53,160
# Once upon a time an old man told me a fable
98
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,360
# When the piper is gone and the soup is cold... #
99
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,960
# She keeps her Moet et Chandon in a pretty cabinet... #
100
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,800
Queen camped it up even more for their third single, Killer Queen,
