I know for a fact that Queen’s “Your my best friend” was used  
as the theme for Eddie’s father.

They replaced the Nilson song with Queen’s song for a while (this was years back  
in the Philadelphia area)

And I remember thinking “Wow they switched songs and are now using Queens song”.  
I also remember thinking “Wow, Queen must be in need of money to let them use the song”

My own opinion is that they used the song illegally thinking “people wouldn’t catch on”.  
Or it was an honest mistake by some audio/visual tech at the studio.

But yes in Philadelphia Queen’s song WAS used for a while for Eddies Father.
