Quote related to 'Bohemian Rhapsody' from 'A Night At The Opera'

It was a very strange song to record in a way because we actually did it in section, it was Freddie's idea, I think. I remember doing one recording session in Rockfield where Freddie was saying, “These are the notes”, and he goes “dum, dum, dum, dum, dum”, and it seemed to have no connexion with anything, but he had all the ideas of what he wanted to go on top.
