"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Well, either way,
this is definitely an episode of Strong Songs about Queen's
genre-blending rock saga "Bohemian Rhapsody." Kirk dives into
Freddie Mercury's operatic opus and learns a lot about vocal
technique, piano motifs, harmonic easter eggs, studio production,
Strategic Brian May Deployment, and all the ways doubling a track
can make your voice sound cool in the studio.
