And this time I know it's for real...

Hello dears!

Twenty-three years ago today, April 2nd, 1984, Queen released the single "I Want To Break Free."

In honor of that, I've compiled some favourite stills from the video, as well as a few "behind the scenes" photographs that I think you'll enjoy!

I don't even need to say anything. Just posting any comment that's attached to my name and default pic will be enough to show you how much I loved this.

[laurak23]

Somehow I thought you might enjoy this, dear. ;)

Well THESE saved my otherwise crappy day completely! :D
I love the fact that Freddie kept his moustache when in drag. He also has better legs than any woman I know.

Oh I laughed my head off when I watched this video first time the commentary tapes on. It's pure gold.

[laurak23]

Aww, I'm glad! (And wow, I love your icon!! :D)

I do too- it adds a certain charm. AND YES. His legs are GORGEOUS. Have you ever seen the video and/or clip of their Hammersmith-Odeon Christmas Eve 1974 performance? Or even the We Will Rock You dvd. He looks good in tiny little white shorts! XD

Oh god yes, I love that commentary. ^__^

[droobless]

OH YES I'VE SEEN IT.
One of my favourite clips ever :D

And now I have to watch it again.

[laurak23]

(Oops, I wrote 1974, and it was 1975. :P Ah well. He's still GORGEOUS. "Hey Big Spender" is probably one of my favourite Queen moments EVERRR. Oh God. So hot. :D)

[laurak23]

Hahah, I know. I'd like to see what his hair looked like after he took them out. ;)

Mmm, I'd rather ravish Roger in that video, personally. ;}

[kezzamorphosis]

"You" have already, remember?

Can't tell me you could have possibly forgotten that... ;)

*dies a bit*

I know Roger is really the star of this show (you can really tell it was his idea! XD) but Brian just looks so darling here! ^_^

Freddie and Roger were blatently having a little drag fetish romp back stage.

I also want to ravish Brian. Could be the first time EVER, but I'm just not feeling the Deaky sex this time. Yes he look hilarious...but the old woman look really doesn't do it for me. XD

[halocentury]

Could be the first time EVER, but I'm just not feeling the Deaky sex this time.

Sadly, I know exactly what you mean. XD

[freakyfrian]

Hey we have nothing to be ashamed of! We stand by Deaky through all things...except to find him attractive as an old woman. XD

[laurak23]

Yeeeah, I'm not really surprised that Old!Woman!John doesn't do it for ya. ;)

But freakyfrian, you know they loved it. ;) I love how comfortable they are around each other half-naked. ;)

[alles_aus_liebe]

*lol* Thank you! I love the song and I love the video! And I love Roger there! ;-p
But I love Brian too (and the pink bunny slippers!*lol*).....and grumpy John.....and Freddie!!!! *lol*
^_-

Ok, I'm a IWTBF addicted! ;-p

[laurak23]

Me. Too. Mmmm. *stares at icon*

:D It's a genius video.
