Bohemian Rhapsody turns 50: Ryan and The LIZARD celebrate!

Half century since rock phenomenon

It has been 50 years since Queen took the world by storm with their extraordinary hit, Bohemian Rhapsody, which was released in the fall of 1975.

It is one of those songs that we know most, if not all, of the lyrics. And we've learned every twist and turn of this Freddie Mercury masterpiece that features ballad, rock and opera.

Sung in showers, cars, at special events, and of course in every karaoke bar around the world, this is arguably the greatest rock song of all time.

Ryan, co-host of the morning show on 104.7 The LIZARD, brings his own guitar-playing tribute to the Brian May elements of this musical gem.

And he's joined by the rest of The LIZARD gang - morning co-host Sarah, afternoon host Roach, and Program director Corey - as they do their version of the operatic sequences that helped make the video for this song a timeless classic too.
