This was always a favorite of mine. Many of my friends would cringe on songs like this. It just shows what an amazing variety of writing ability Freddie had. My all time favorite singer for almost forty years now. Freddie lives in his music.
Best song on the best album overall. I'm honest! This is awesome, musically amazing, epic, wonderfull vocal, ALWAYS makes me dance in my room (and i'm a boy), ALWAYS makes me happy. This IS a masterpiece.
@sammmiii13 influenced by ragtime and vaudeville in the late 1800, and early 1900 :) These are some of the tunes, as Brian and Roger said, that influenced them a lot. I was so curious, that I went on to listen to Dixieland jazz band and Alexander's Ragtime band,( to go back to the roots u know ..) and it was very pleasurable :))
SIMPLY BRILLIANT.Freddie Mercury had the most purely perfect voice I have ever heard.Amazing song writer, he designed Queens logo.chose their name in part because it is regal and absolute.he was the Greatest Frontman EVER.was loyal to his friends shy and sweet in his private life.he was part of something so rare Queen .Brian May guitar master Roger Taylor extrodonary drummer John Deacon fantastic bass I was lucky saw them in concert '77 and'78 nothing like them.will always miss Freddie
Its seems so ggod to hear this again after years of not hearing it. When I was 10 I used to love it and now it feels like pure nostalgia. X) Still love it
Seaside Rendevous......Give us a kiss. I feel kissed passionately every time I hear a song by Queen.......Yah...Freddie..but you guys made it the best music! You are the fucking best...You and Beatles....Up[ there with Beatles ain't so bad...LOVE YOU ALL!
@illovedinkiwinky Love your attitude... Seaside Rendevous is just timeless and gives me rushes in my head! LOve to all Queen Fans.............They move me so much it's hard to move from listening into real life...Seriousllly. You rock my fucking shoes off!
Yep, that's definitely one of the most silliest tunes from Queen. Still, most of today's performers would give their left arm to come up with something so creatively funny and technically well done. Besides, we're talking about Queen here. They knew what they were doing as, just an example, The Beatles knew what they were doing while they were recording Yellow Submarine. It's not like we're talking about some mindless backstreet boys' wannabe. Thumbs up.
The section is performed entirely by Mercury and Taylor using their voices alone. Mercury imitates woodwind instruments including a clarinet and Taylor mostly brass instruments, including tubas and trumpets, and even a kazoo. The tap dance segment is also "performed" by Mercury and Taylor on the mixing desk with thimbles on their fingers. Mercury plays both grand piano and jangle honky-tonk <-- WHAT LEGENDS <3
I love this song. Thanks for putting it up on here.
One query about this song, I thought it came at the end of Side 1 of the "A Night At The opera" album but on the cassette copy that I have it appears more in the middle. Was the tracklisting changed between formats?
For our football halftime show, our band (The Black and Silver Brigade) is playing Bohemian Rhapsody, Seaside Rendezvous, and Bicycle Race. Great songs.
and this is the same band that wrote "Ogre Battle" and "Stone Cold Crazy" one year before?? THAT you will never see again. Queen is BY FAR the greatest band of all time.
Queen's "Seaside Rendezvous" was another one of Freddie Mercury's ingenious accomplishments in music writing. A trumpet, clarinet, kazoo, and tubas helped create a "Your Hit Parade" moment from the swingin' '40s. The tap dance segment was performed by Freddie and Roger on the mixing desk with thimbles on their fingers, but then again, that was "Freddie" ... I mean, were there any limits to this man's extravagant abilities and genius?
This is essentially what a lot of Broadway music REALLY sounds like (Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly etc.) once the poor-media-quality factor of old recordings is removed. Still faggy, but not so _boring_ after all!
this is going to be the theme for my wedding; a seaside rendezvous. and, of course, Freddie is going to be singing at it! :]
