Bohemian Rhapsody

When you’re trapped in traffic, at a crawl And want to scream or curse or bawl, The radio relief can bring If there’s a song which you can sing. My all-time favorite in the car, From rock & roll’s deep reservoir, To help my traffic-stress release Is Queen’s amazing masterpiece. I belt it out at fever pitch And to falsetto I can switch. The highway seems to melt away; I’m underneath the lyrics’ sway. And when I hear the ending phrase I shake myself out of a daze So grateful that this classic song Has made my trip a tad less long.

When I'm stuck in traffic, its another Queen song that I think of, "Bicycle Race" ; ) Seriously though, good music can make a lot of difference.

Its one of my all time fave tracks along with bridge over troubled water - what a contrast! Was lucky enough to see Queen in concert in 1986 - knebworth - probably their last ever gig! :-) hugs Jan xx

That works every time, Ilene, and improves the mood, Although I can't sing very well, I still give it a try,
