I must say,I am stunned '39 made it all the way through,love the song, but never imagined it in the finals. So here we are… '39 versus… can ya guess? Bohemian Rhapsody. Voting ends on June 2nd. ---

'39 if for no other reason than the oversaturation of the airwaves with the other one. But I really do like '39 better. ---

I was all set to vote for '39 too, but I just heard the California Guitar Trio’s instrumental cover of BoRhap and that got me digging it all over again. So, Bohemian Rhapsody (But I still kinda hope '39 wins.) ---

Bohemian Rhapsody. I may be biased though, as I’ve never heard '39. Which shames me. But i’ll go give it a listen at some point! ---

[/QUOTE] I do. I was six. It was on the new album from the band that did Killer Queen. It was amazing. I still liked **'39** more. _sigh_ now I’m all nostalgic for my old LPs. The iPod is nice, but I actually miss the slight hiss and pop of an LP. Oh, and **Stay off my lawn!!!** However, I cannot stand the abbreviation “BoRhap.” ---

'39. I’ve voted against BR each time, because it got overplayed SO MUCH around here (and generally still is). I think it’s a good song, but jeez, you hear it every friggin’ day, sometimes twice, and it begins to lose its appeal. ---

Hate to shut out the underdog, but I think **Bohemian Rhapsody** is the better song, despite its oversaturation. ---

I was just down in the basement looking for my old vinyl _A Night at the Opera_ because I seem to recall the song titled **A Bohemian Rhapsody**. Anyway, whatever it is titled, and as many times as I have heard the song- and I heard a million times before _Wayne’s World_ I have to vote for **A Bohemian Rhapsody** ---

Bohemian Rhapsody. It’s the only song I will sing along to every single time. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/queen-madness-championship-round/450825.md?page=2)
