Hardly my favorite Queen song, but this is a great song. I think when it first came out I rejected it (and I think most of their stuff starting with Flash Gordon Theme) but this is a really cool tune.

Reminds me of the 6th grade. There was a girl I knew named Lana that really liked this song.

Reminds me of USA Network's music video show "Radio 1990"... they played this one alot. I seem to remember the video was set to scenes from the classic silent film "Metropolis" (or maybe I have it confused with another video from around the same time...)

This was never my favorite Queen song, but it IS Queen, so I like it.

Probably one of my least favorite Queen songs, but as Ragin said, that isn't a bad thing.

I believe this was the last top 40 appearance for Queen. (Except for their 1992 reissue of Bohemian Rhapsody.) Radio Ga Ga was a pretty good tune.

I love Queen, and this song is okay, but it's probably one of my least favorite singles by them.

I can't remember.

Incredible song. The lyrics are so evocative and those pulsating synths in the background add an extra dimension and make it even catchier. They released so much good music, and continued to long after most artists have fallen off.

This song is EPIC. This song's video uses scenes from Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

Fantastic record. I know some people hate on Queen post-The Game, but I've always thought that they kept up the quality till the very end and was amazed at how they changed with the times.
The Live Aid performance of this is incredible. The part after the 3 minute mark where the entire audience is doing the clap from the video is mind-blowing.

^I remember Rick Dees mentioning that at one time or another. Can't remember if he played a drop or not.

I recently stumbled over this due to a mashup of this & Gaga's 'ARTPOP' song. Shocked how well it worked.
As far as the original song, it's okay. They started to lose their touch, however, this is one of the few songs post the 70's is an highlight for their 80s career.

I can really sense how this song influence Muse's Starlight, that catchy clapping motif really make Starlight the crowd's favorite at live shows.

This is good but I prefer "I Want To Break Free" when it came to their 1984 songs. I do prefer most of their 1970s to 1981 music, however.

This was one of the first songs I listened to on YouTube in 2006, along with Michael Sembello’s “Maniac”. Easily my favorite Queen song.
