Electric 6 - Radio Ga Ga

[Chr1ss71]

I agree, Freddie would have roared with laughter! But...Haters gonna hate!

[KamanjiTV]

He does not get a bit that high freddy did....

[grantbondart]

omg 0:23 chet from weird science

[1061sarahs]

worst cover ever

[onbradley]

fuck this is way better than the original

[redneck29uk]

this is more a tribute than any thing, freddy was a legand

[dhards85]

There is nothing wrong with this video, its a good cover of freddy's work and it displays nothing offensive towards him, people are just too uptight.

[Shaunyrawrs]

amazingly bad covers? i quote @eldospinks "what the fuck does Smash Hits know about music"

I agree with you on that! This is a sick cover. adds a new bite on the song.

[CaribDevist]

I love Queen, but the fact that so many Queen fanboys hated this cover makes me like it even more. The irony is that Electric Six didn't want to record this cover; their studio forced them.

[1dirtyjay]

he is sporting a power stache!

[joncurtis199]

There are much worse covers than this out there! At least Electric Six treat it with the fun it deserves.

[powerofktulu]

amazing cover of radio ga ga

[anxresi]

This is ABSOLUTELY DREADFUL, and Freddy would be turning in his grave at this sh*t, not dancing on it. And for everyone else here I have a joke.. how many retards can you squeeze into a thread? Answer: Count the amount of people leaving positive comments here, and there's your answer.. :)

[roblockesince1980]

@anxresi Queen has stated that they thought it was fantastic and even helped promote it on queens website 5 years ago

[eleventysevens]

@anxresi That's you included then?

Dick

[anxresi]

@eleventysevens At least I have one.. ;)

[anxresi]

@Dataspelspoffe If you're going to make such a stupid comment, you least you could do is stay and back it up. The fact you've deletely it promptly and gone on the run like the little baby you are only confirms I was right all along. Now go and have a little suck on your mummy's teat. DIDDUMS!!

[OfficialQueenRomania]

freddie had a sense of humor so i think he would have said this:fuking hillarious darlings

[GGK140]

you're a retard Electric Six are awesome freddie would be proud

[Rayncatt]

wtf....

[timhansen101]

F*ing brilliant!



[Necromeggz]

bahahahahahhahaha Awesome

Whats with the poodles? o.0

[smalltommus]

the wost thing is i thought this was the propper version for years :O

[Xostriyad]

As a queen fan I find this one of the greatest tributes from one band to another musician. The levels of tongue in cheek references in the video and attempt to capture the energy of the original while putting a unique spin on it... what else can it be? Truely made by fans.

[ViciousPistol666]

Brilliant Cover. Uploader is an elitist moron

[TheMolotovMuffin]

Best. Cover. EVER.

[xTelha]

LOL @ it being in "20 Amanzingly Bad Cover Versions" but for E6 its a good thing! They rock!

[TheFartoholic]

Freddie wants to take you to a gay bar.

[RonaldMacK]

I thought it was a caring, tasteful tribute to a legend that had a bit of fun. OP is thw wrongest man in wrong town.

[DsexLive]

Dick Valentine does a great job covering this imo.

[jamesmthorn]

The cover itself isnt that bad, one of the best queen covers to date i'd say. but the video, dear god it's scary haha!

[LaughingMan86U]

I'm sure Freddy Mecury approved this from the great beyond since Dick Valentine starred as him

[GDBrush]

I don't get how this is called an 'amazingly bad cover version'. It's better - and funnier - than the original.

[anxresi]

@GDBrush Dear oh dear.. Time to get your head examined methinks :)

[GDBrush]

@anxresi Not at all. The original is OK, but a but lacks power.

[MrPENGTINGZ]

THIS VERSION IS ONLY ABIT OF FUN :')

[TheTheruben10]

@thebrad its his most viewed video aswell xD

[DocRunaway]

Better than the original.

[chic1690]

i think freddie would have prefered 'gay bar'.but electric six are not near queens league,and never will be.

[Tensionbreaker14]

Yeah, Freddie would dig this.

[MellyEmmyxx]

it's more up-tempo , I love Queen but I prefer this version :)

[kidzoki]

Needs more poodles.

[domc1239]

have to ask are the poodles meant to be taking this piss out of brian may because if they are it's dam funny

[jasunmarkdotcom]

I think Freddie would have loved this. The cover version is pretty good aside from not being able to hit the high notes. And he would have loved the video.

[mattspense]

Freddie Mercury would of seen the funny side of this and loved it!

[CodyT3212]

E6's label fucked them by making them release this as the lead single from Senor Smoke. I like it but the public perception killed any momentum they had. Dance Epidemic should have been the lead single and the one to get a video treatment.v

[jamesrudd45]

Electric six are batsh*t insane and i love it! and i'm sure Freddy would to

[electricfire7]

all we need is radio bla bla lol  love that part

[AwesomePhantomPig]

its not a bad cover, but the video is complete shit

[JeymesMaahn]

saw them do this live once and it was truly amazing. it always makes me want to go and listen to queen again which is always a good think

[xnonsuchx]

For those who might say this is insensitive to gays, 1) you don't know Electric Six; 2) my gay friends LOVE IT

[SnoopyChicken]

For a Queen cover this is fucking brilliant

[fdaduckbutter]

I never had a clue that Bill Paxton did a Queen cover!!! This must have been before "Twister".

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

This is an extremely hard song to cover, so kudos to them for even trying.

[NoMoarOxygen]

He explains on his website's video section "Though some have claimed this video portrays me dancing on Freddie Mercury's grave, actually it's more like we are resurrecting Mr. Mercury for the duration of the song and his grave is the logical starting point." [17]

[theEisbergmann]

Great tribute...can't see why this should be a pop disaster XD

[richnick001]

1 of the most underated bands period!! Deserve alot more recognition.

[steveobalboa]

826 times freddie mercurys liked this. 70 times brian mays disliked it. ga ga ga e6 rock!!!

[empath69]

Farrouk's likely enjoying this for the umpteenth time in whatever afterlife he's in; he always seemed to be humble and self-effacing and hey - "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"...

[grundeir]

I'm a real Queen fan myself, and I absolutely loved this. Freddy's ghost performing Radio Bla bla from the cemetery? Brilliant!

[doublemadforit1]

Fantastic

[40harb]

absolutely brilliant the world needs bands like electric 6 to have a laugh and keep music alive and stop it disappearing up its own rectum

[TheManOfTheFALL]

Badass Electric six )

[Sephirothwolf]

I definitely think Freddie would've approved of this, it would've appealed to his sense of humour... and it's kinda nice to think Freddies still with us, waiting for his true heir to be discovered.

[gbrippers]

for me the queen version wasnt as happy as it should but this OMG makes senor smoke worth listening to

[ianny86]

why disaster?? 

[dragon856]

I'm a huge fan of queen and of Farrokh Bulsara (Freddy Murcury) and think that Freddy would be laughing at the video because it's brilliant. It is a great tribute to the best song writer and singer ever

[ChrisCalzone]

Electric 6: Great Music, Legendary Videos.

[eldospinks]

What the fuck does Smash Hits know about music? If this was an honest list, Westlife would have taken up most of the entries.

[elwanning]

I love Queen but I havta say this was their worst song ever....well also Flash's Theme, so hell a cover wasn't gonna be the best song ever...I actually like the effort they put into honoring Freddie with the video.

[katchison045]

I think its funny and the cover is really great and a good representation of the song. Well sung also. The video is so horrible its funny.

[leetonosaki]

@TubeOfThePops3 Are you kidding me Farrokh Bulsara aka Freddie mercury would have so loved this it's camp,loud,fast paced and fucking insane all attributes he loved.

[danathor99]

How can they class this as a bad cover> Do they honestly think Electric 6 were trying their very hardest to do a serious rendition of Radio GaGa? Fuck me Smash Hits TV are naive, and stupid....

[willkill2007]

@danathor99 Don;t worry about it. They always try to pass crap off as the best thing and the best stuff as BS.

[dncraker]

ALL WE NEED IS A RADIO GAY BAR..

[willkill2007]

I like the song and the video is pretty funny

[StantasticStan]

I still don't get it... This is the one and only cover. Theres nothing better.

[PerrisZombie]

This is a great cover. Pull the stick out of your ass.



[Navili502]

Poodle's Nostalgia.

[jasonjlaw]

This isn't supposed to be good. They were pissed that they had to make this cover and thats why its So fucking bad, which in turn makes it awesome. They refuse to play it live.

[Rocknrollistic]

@jasonjlaw they actually play or used play it live.. look on youtube i think there is some live version...

[mrmeowy]

This motherfucken rules....66 people have a stick up their ass



[thebrad]

Love how the uploader bashes it, but all the comments are digging it.

Electric Six rules.

[pattmelodyz]

I hate cover versions of Queen songs... But this. I have a bit of fun :)

Ofcourse Freddie was and is the One : )

[chuckmgjr]

@pattmelodyz WHEN DONE WELL IT IS HARD TO MESS UP ANYTHING QUEEN OR FREDDIE MERCURY DOES, IN FACT IT WOULD TAKE SOMETHING LIKE VANILLA ICE DOING UNDER PRESSURE TO REMOTELY FUCK UP ANYTHING BY QUEEN.

[McMonkeyful]

Excellent cover, better than the Queen version which was a bit dull in my humble opinion and I am a big fan of Queen normally so I'm not dissing them. How this could be in a top 20 of BAD covers is beyond me. E6 and Queen both Rock!!!

[Bhethar]

Electric 6 are not trashy , they desperatly try to be trashy , its what they like to do i guess XD

[ZMWinkler]

@Bhethar it's their desire

[Bhethar]

@ZMWinkler yup , high voltage !

[25sergio17]

i´m a Queen fan... but i lmao when i saw this xD

[hiramavalos]

I just loved it!!

[NoneBuriedDeeper]

Freddy would love this!!!!

[jamesahmed1889]

how is this a bad cover, ok its not asgood as the origanal cause freddy is the absalute gotd of the music biss but electric 6 are well good they did gay bar and high voltage

[LilliumLupus]

Those are some patient dogs...

[deadbeatscrappy]

love the crotch shot :P

[thepwnis]

@deadbeatscrappy So would Freddie...

[Zurnagos]

Awesome band.. Simple rythms/songs, but freaking awesome humor and lyrics.

PS. Didn't they put the '20 disaster covers' on themself? :>

[WillShakespeare2007]

Whoever classed this knows nothing about music and even less about the irony of the video. Sack them!

[SuperUlsterScot]

this cover is shit. the video is shit. the band is shit. this isn't a cover, it's a fucking disaster. the lyrics aren't correct either. i hope this band dies in a grease fire.

[IOmegadUrMom]

@SuperUlsterScot and you need to share this with people, attention whores.......

[CommissarTowny]

This isn't a bad cover so screw you smash hits.

[domc1239]

i think its a pop disater because they did gay bar and because or that they assume all their other songs are crap

[steveobalboa]

pop disaster? WTF!? it's a piss take and a pretty decent cover. get a grip smash hits! no wonder ya magazine went bust n no cunt watches ya shite channel E6 rock!!

[TheDarkAnimators]

I love this

[NeroViridian]

I like the original song a lot better,and the moustache and pants looked better on Freddie. I like Electric 6 but not this is not good.

[MrRandomGhost]

Nobody should attempt to cover a Queen song, they will just sound bad after Freddie already sang it.

[TheDarkAnimators]

@MrRandomGhost :P

[GabrielOPadoan]

"Pop Disasters" is a disaster for classifing this as a disaster.

[AMPFEAST]

Pop disasters???? this cover is great!

[MrDonBlaf]

why is mario singing without his hat?

[smalltommus]

i thought this was the actual video to radio gaga :)

[AconiteDreams]

Shoulda been kitties instead of poodles. Freddie LOVED kitties!

[funkyorange2]

You all clapped along, don't even TRY to deny it!

[funkyorange2]

a poodle...with a guitar...I LOVE THIS VIDEO! WHY IS IT A POP DISASTER? WHY?

[gyroe182]

I do not know why people get so irate with this video. It is a decent cover & of course the video follows the endless line of great Electric Six (& Dick's "antics") music videos. I suspect that hardcore Queen fans read too much between the lines when Roger Taylor said that he hated it (do not quote the exact words used there, but I remember reading it ages ago). But I think, of course, to really enjoy the video you must have what is known as a SENSE OF HUMOR.

[JuglarEuskaldun]

I can't avoid to laught at 0:23 when dick turns on xD.

Great Freddy.

[RedLesterCheese13]

Poodles and beer! Says it all really :D Great cover! RIP Freddie!

[thenamesgould]

If Freddie Mercury came back to life, I am pretty sure he would be exactly like this.

[Jemmer1000]

Lady Gaga is rolling in her grave.

[flvnow]

@Jemmer1000 slighty premature

[Jemmer1000]

@flvnow well, yeah, you got me there.

[marsamgod73]

@Jemmer1000 Do you think Lord Gaga tires of his wife's antics?

[Dothd00d]

Im a queen fan and this is awesome. :)

[ludoka13]

No, very great cover. Electric 6 is the best.

[weelump]

it a good redo its just the vid

[daddycool81]

I thought this was a superb cover done in the E6 style - what an idiot whoever thought this was crap.

[kilupirukas]

@daddycool81 Meanwhile, only the BEST cover versions end up on THAT list. :P

[Conkyisaliveandwell]

20 biggest pop disasters? Britney and Lady Gaga are pop disasters, this song ain't that bad..

[BizarreAndrogynous]

Is this the song that Lady Gaga got her name from? "Cause I'm pretty sure she got her name from a song with this title!?:)

[zangieffishy]

@BizarreAndrogynous This is most certainly the song Lady Gaga got her name from :-)

[jonnypkmn168]

fucking pisstake this

[zdravorazum]

People come down! Electric six is a awesome rock'n'roll band. I also love Queen and I don't see nothing offensively in this is cover! Cover and video have something what is basic for rock'n'rol. Provocation! Remember Elvis, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Sex Pistols and the others who changed the face of rosk'n'roll.

[DamosPh]

I totally for got about this tune, freddy mercury rip. TOP TRIBUTE..to freddy. 

[edmame]

lmao...freddie dug cats tho, poodles won't do

[j78k]

what a fuck up

[Bruinguru]

Dick is the man... Seeing them in 6 days... Can't wait!!!

[LeonDessertines]

Freddy we wont forget your teeth!

[LeonDessertines]

Fraddy we wont forget your teeth!

[mappygrey1]

man. This is an awful cover

[mreunome]

kewl!

[philymouskewitz]

As He watches this, Freddie would be smiling...showing his pearly whites

[Blacketernia13]

A hundred gay Abe Lincolns isn't offensive but THIS is?.........

[bojo8686]

This is bollocks.

And Freddie was cremated, does he even have a grave? I know he has a statue...

[d3athbRinger]

wow smash hits have no sense of taste since they call this shit

[katoushit]

It's scary how much he looks like him.....

[spartan9301]

dick valentine should play freddie mercury not sasha baron coen

[Stephen1965]

I can't think why this would be classed as a pop disaster. It's a very good tribute to Freddie Mercury and I'm sure he would have been laughing at the video too. :)

[fabian25561]

lol these are comments with lots of likes nevere seen more likes rofl

[mikemetaled]

The poodles are a lampoon of Brian May's hairstyle.

[bowling7311994]

why is he at a bar with poodles?

[jonnypkmn168]

FUCKING HELL FREDDIE YOU'RE SO UGLY

[ScreamingLordRocky]

freddie would've loved this! they should've had cats instead of poodles, though, since freddie was a massive cat lover.

[jieuxarmeni]

great song, decent cover... lame video.

[KaRmEn2AzUl]

QUIENES SON LOS INVESILES QUE SE ATREVIERON A VOTAR COMO ME GUSTA son unos traidores, y unos malditos. y MIL VECES INVESILES

[mackay64]

20 Amazingly Bad Cover versions? They couldn't be more wrong.

[markeywo100]

@mackay64 True!! They were just takin the piss with the bad vid :P

[whatapcrk]

this is awesome live.

[steed1678]

old freddy liked to poke fun and take the piss it was his humor this takes the piss and at the same time is a tribute to freddy its plain to see ..........its got lots of references to queen stuff but done in elecric 6 way.not disrespectful but a tribute to freddy all the way through as it says at the end rip

[mybigbballs]

Amazing video, quality of the song is not very good on this copy =\

[TRAdamTM]

only electric six is allowed to cover Queen

[RuvenSr]

Don't care for the way he sang the song, but overall I did really like the video.

[nanman33]

Why is it on a program that says "20 amazingly bad covers"? Someone actually said this was bad?

[Greggah]

Not bad actually :)

I mean, I only play covers of artists I like anyways :)

[XxGaarasGirlxX]

Love the buck teeth! Best tribute to one of Queen's amazing tune and to the legend Freddie! R.I.P. I love this band!!

[sonsofcarson]

here freddie was a great singer man he pulled in the crowds i believe hes not disrespecting freddie and who could hes a legend and i bet electric six says the same freddie mercury R.I.P gone bit never forgotton

[Dumbducktv]

49 people hate freddy mercury and queen. they make me sick

[MrToradragon]

Bad Cover? Nonsense. I think this is one of best cover of this song! If you think it's disrespectful to FM, ok dancing on grave is not good, but video have idea.

[Gabagool]

The whole issue of Dick getting heat because he "dances on Freddie's grave" just makes me laugh uproariously. The image does show him dancing, and he (as Freddie's "spirit") is standing on the part where the body is usually six feet under, so technically he is "dancing on Freddie's grave." Really though, what purpose would it serve for Dick if he actually is doing what the phrase really implies? It's utterly baffling that people would read it that way.

[abaraiRenji3]

@MajikNinjaJuggalette thankfully we fenced them to toys-r-us as pinatas but i still have nightmares about being buried in the avalanche of Papier-mâché giraffes.

[BradyMcGregor]

I interpret it as not even death can stop Freddie Mercury legacy and people from enjoying the music.
