“Bohemian Rhapsody” is widely regarded as one of rock’s all-time greatest songs, despite breaking just about every rule of what a hit single is supposed to be. In this Throwback Thursday episode (originally aired August 15th, 2022), Chris and Chris dive deep into Freddie Mercury’s six-minute masterpiece—dissecting the song’s bold arrangement, ambitious production, and soaring dynamics. They go beyond the surface to unpack the opera section’s lyrics, revealing layers of meaning that most listeners likely never realized. From the a cappella intro to the explosive finale, it’s a detailed tribute to Queen’s genre-blurring classic.
