Line 214:
* [[Sanity Slippage Song]]: "I'm Going Slightly Mad".
** Also, the traditional song "Oh I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside" which plays at the end of "Seven Seas of Rhye". At least, this is how the musical ''We Will Rock You'' interpreted it.
* [[Self -Backing Vocalist]]: Their trademark was to massively overdub their vocals to create a choral effect.
** Depending on the song, they could have only Freddie ("Love of My Life"), only Brian ("Leaving Home Ain't Easy"), only Roger ("Tenement Funster"), Freddie + Brian ("All Dead, All Dead"), Freddie + Roger ("Rock It"), Brian + Roger ("Long Away") or the three of them ("Somebody to Love"). Sometimes they even sang each part (alto, tenor, baritone) together in order to make the resulting bounce sound ''really'' big.
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: They all played other instruments besides their main one, but were usually more than modest about it. Freddie often half-joked on stage that he could only play three chords on guitar, Brian called his own piano skills "sub-par", Roger (in the 80's) said his voice was getting worse with every passing day, John was often shy about his own abilities on other instruments or when it came to songwriting (lyrics in particular, Freddie too) and said he never sang on any albums because he felt he couldn't compete vocally with the other three.
Line 220:
* [[Seventies Hair]]: Brian May has kept his for more than forty years.
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Freddie had a few in concerts.
* [[Shout -Out]]:
** To the [[Marx Brothers]], the albums ''A Night at the Opera'' and ''A Day at the Races'' taking their names from two of their films.
** The music video for "Calling All Girls" was based upon the [[George Lucas]] movie ''[[THX 1138 (Film)|THX 1138]]''.
