    So how did Britney not get “Umbrella” before it went to Rihanna? (Are the second and third post popular Queen songs on the radio “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” respectively?

    Kil’ Lim.

    I don’t have any in-depth fact on the subject, but I’ve seen quite a few people shocked to learn that many (very many) of the most popular contemporary songs aren’t written or composed by the famous performers they’re associated with

    About Umbrellas

    The preacher’s sermon was about the ten commandments.

    When he got to “thou shalt not steal”, he noticed that Scott was looking all around him, but when he got to “thou shalt not commit adultery”, Scott started smiling.

    After the service the preacher asked Scott what he was thinking during the sermon. Scott said, “When you talked about stealing, I noticed that my umbrella wasn’t with me. But when you spoke about adultery I remembered where I’d left it.”

    Once per hour, around the globe? That doesn’t sound like such a high frequency (no pun intended) to me.

    My neighbor once sang Bohemian Rhapsody all the way through just after banging his thumb with a hammer building his yard barn.

    Take care, may perennially bothered eye-rolling ER nurse Sylvia “Yes We’re The Second Responders But We’re The Ones That Have To Listen To Their Whole Stories And The Ones About ‘Accidentally’ Sitting On Small Kitchen Appliances And Hand Tools Can Be A Bit Much Especially On A Friday Night When I Should Be Pounding Mimosas At The Aruba Lounge Down Town” Meanord be with you, and gesundheit.

    At 6 minutes long Queens song is played so the dj can get a bathroom break every hour.

    Our retro radio station, playing hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s plays Bohemian Rhapsody once an hour all by itself. There is no need for the rest of the world to contribute.

    Believe it or not, I’m not interested in pop culture.

    When I was at Syracuse in ’83, I took an entire semester on Fellini (part of the course on film directors).

    I consider myself fairly familiar with music, but Bohemian Rhapsody eludes me. I’ve never heard that title before now.

    Well, I consider myself as quite familiar with music, but Bohemian Rhapsody eludes me. So, I looked it up and it still eludes me. I guess it’s just not my style. But, I find it hard to believe that it’s so popular, especially for several years running.

    I can’t believe a university would offer an entire course on a rapper. No wonder we’re falling behind other countries in education.

    I took a high school course on The Lord of the Rings. The Good Guys win and Sam is the real hero.

    How do you pass a course on Lil Kim? If your brain doesn’t turn to mush? or if your brain was already mush?

    I was once taught that nothing rhymes with silver.

    But to this day, I still don’t think they sound the same.
