Freddie Mercury is a pioneer. He wrote a song about girls with big asses almost a decade and a half before Sir Mix-A-Lot did

Don't Stop Me Now is probably my favorite Queen track. Here's Cadbury making good use of it:

Holy shit, I watched this yesterday and it had 1700 views. It now has 187,000 and climbing!

He sounds just like Freddie, and gets every bit right, and even looks like him but his teeth are better

The only thing he's missing is the unbridled passion that Freddie sang with. If he ramped that up he would be a dead ringer.

+1, good voice but doesn't have that 'oomph' that Freddie has behind his voice; sounds like Freddie on mild downers.

SO looking forward to the biopic starring Sasha Baron Cohen as Mercury, and written by the same guy who did the Queen Elizabeth biopic recently. It is going to be SO. FUCKING. GOOD.
