Great find, Joe! Not sure about the four hours part, though. The article
says the video was recorded in just four hours on 10 November 1975. But the
song, which was released October 31 took three weeks to record. So that
might be confusing. What if I set up the most expensive tweet and this for
Facebook?
Music executives and even other musicians told Queen that "Bohemian
Rhapsody," at 5 minutes, 55 seconds long, would never be a hit. But the
band believed in Freddy Mercury's uniquely operatic song, and released it
on this day 40 years ago. The single has sold more than 6.7 million copies.
