As much as I really like Queen, I think Somebody to love is a knock off of Bohemian Rhapsody. 

[RoverAndOut 4,664]

Four-way tie at the top! This is getting interesting...almost like @Paul Bearer planned it that way... 

[TQR 14,315]

I like Queen a lot, and the two songs in this are superb, but I’m glad they’re not running away with it as I feared they would.
