To make it worse, PL, you’re wrong too 😉 [http://www.promail.pl/~dw/dwsrvTQ3.htm](http://www.promail.pl/~dw/dwsrvTQ3.htm) ## Not that it _really_ matters of course… and if it makes you feel better, I don’t even KNOW html-codes… Coldfire * * * “You know how complex women are” - Neil Peart, Rush (1993) ---

Thanks for the hyperlink, but it wouldn’t link me. Ain’t technology grand? Obviously, I don’t know html codes either… Now, about those lyrics. I thought the \*Bohemian Rhapsody \* was a confessional of sorts to his mother. “Mama, I just killed a man. Put a gun against his head. Pulled the trigger, now he’s dead.” He’s telling his dear mom that he’s going to run off (“If I’m not back again this time tomorrow, carry on, carry on.”) because he’s in BIG, BIG trouble now. And he was bemoaning the fact that “(his) life had just begun.” Of course, why did I ever try to make sense out of a song that’s entitled “Bohemian Rhapsody” anyway? And who’s Miss Miller, and why won’t she let him go??? And what does Galileo have to do with anything? Lisa, running screaming off. ---

Yeah, he’s confessing to his mom alright. Hence “Mama, just killed a man”, in which the comma is of great importance 😉 OK, the links works for me, but I’ll be a damn Troll anyway and post the entire lyrics 🙂 " Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I’m easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me, to me Mama just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead Mama, life had just begun, But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away Mama, ooh, Didn’t mean to make you cry, If I’m not back again this time tomorrow, Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters Too late, my time has come, Sends shivers down my spine, body’s aching all the time Goodbye, ev’rybody, I’ve got to go, Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth Mama, ooh, I don’t want to die, I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright’ning me (Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo figaro Magnifico I’m just a poor boy and nobody loves me He’s just a poor boy from a poor family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity Easy come, easy go, will you let me go Bismillah! No, we will not let you go (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let me go) Will not let you go (Let me go) Will not let you go (Let me go) Ah No, no, no, no, no, no, no (Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama mia, let me go Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye So you think you can love me and leave me to die Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby, Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here Nothing really matters, Anyone can see, Nothing really matters, Nothing really matters to me Any way the wind blows " ## So, it’s Bismillah however the hell that might be, and the comma I was talking about isn’t even there… go figure.

Stevie, seems to me its nobody’s wedding except your sister’s. Unless there are specific types of music that she likes or dos not like, she should ask the band to select the music for her with perhaps instructions such as: “I got some freaky line dancing friends”, or “My parents have invited a bunch of WW2 old fogies”, or “We go out to discos with my fiends all the time”. After all, she is PAYING the DJ! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wedding-songs/9263.md?page=1)
