Fat Bottomed Girls, a 1978 single released as a double A-side with Bicycle Race.

The arrangement builds from a spacious, layered choral opening into a powerful rock ensemble that really amps up the energy.

The vocal range is narrow and there aren’t big interval leaps, so it’s relatively easy to sing; however, because the dynamics are wide, it’s good to be mindful of them when singing karaoke.

With its relaxed tempo, it’s a cool rock tune you can tackle calmly.

The song “I Want to Break Free,” included on the 11th album The Works and also known for its music video—a parody of the British TV drama Coronation Street—that sparked mixed reactions.

Because of its lyrics, it became popular in South America at the time as an anthem of freedom for people suffering under oppressive regimes.

Its vocal range is narrow and the pitch movement isn’t drastic, so you can sing it comfortably while listening to the ensemble.

If possible, I’d like you to sing it with an understanding of the lyrics—this is a soulful pop tune.

The track is memorable for its intro, which opens with a grand, spacious choral arrangement and then moves into an ear-catching guitar solo.

True to Freddie Mercury’s style, the melody is intricate, but because there aren’t many fast passages, it’s a rewarding piece to tackle.

However, be careful not to get left behind—the rhythm shifts rapidly throughout.

The song “Las Palabras De Amor,” featured on the 10th album Hot Space.

The opening, which begins with a floating, synth-driven sound, and the spacious choral work are particularly striking.

Since there are backing vocals throughout, why not try recreating the song’s atmosphere with your friends?
