This is a 1st time listen and reaction so folks please remember my reaction is done on the spot. No script, no pre-recorded stuff. I am bringing you a real and raw honest 1st time reaction.
I love how Brian manages to make his guitars sound like an entire orchestra!
He certainly does something magnificent but it's not so apparent. When I watch the Live version, I'll see more.

Another masterpiece of experimentation in the studio. One of my favorites. I read that Freddie wrote it for John Reid who got them out of their previous contract and money woes. Great reaction as usual.
🙂Ooooohhhh hence the name, millionaire waltz... after the contract ended!!! They got all their royalties etc, and embarked on good living. 👍🏽

@@HAP3SPEAKZ that's right, that was the time when the money came floating in. Never thought about that.
It is always a great day when someone reacts to The Millionaire Waltz! Yes, the song is a real waltz, 1..2..3 or 3/4 timing. A lot of bass players often think of the bass line in this song as John Deacon's best work, it is quite technical, intricate and melodic. But it might have been Freddie who wrote the bass line, still John played it well. A very underrated aspect of this song is Freddie's piano playing, there is some great piano playing on this song. Freddie's expression in his voice is magnificent on this song, this is a masterclass in expression. Almost every line and a lot of the words are sang differently. The song has lots of different tones and colours, Freddie even uses his lower register in the lead vocals, which is very rare on Queen songs. You will find most of the lower notes in the back up vocals. They did some decent live performances of this song, despite the fact that this song is quite complex. But they only performed part of the song in a medley. The Millionaire Waltz live in Houston 1977 ruclips.net/video/gBJd-ZoT30Y/видео.html.
You are not completely wrong by thinking about Bohemian Rhapsody when listening to this song. The album, A Day At The Races 1976, was released just about a year after A Night At The Opera 1975. The whole band was very much still high on the success of A Night At The Opera, Brian May has said that with A Day At The Races it felt as if they were still busy making A Night At The Opera. He called the albums companion pieces, and he has said that they could have been released as a double album. Queen was still hungrily writing songs, and musically they were still in the same mode. Upon it's release A Day At The Races was criticized by the critics, for the similarities with A Night At The Opera. But the album, has gained critical support over the years. Queen only really changed their direction with the release of the News Of The World album in 1977. The song also includes a classical style, and the song also has different parts just like Bohemian Rhapsody. It it has been called the younger sister of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Yes Allan has also recommended that LIVE. I will be checking that out. Glad to see that there was some reminiscence of BoRhap here. Thanks for break down too. 🙂 Waiting for the Zenobia RUclips channel to start for Queen classes. Hahaha. 😂😂 👍🏽

@@HAP3SPEAKZ I am working on it, unfortunately I am not as fast as you! I wouldn't say the live version is as good as the studio version, but for the complexities within the song they did a good job.
You don't need to be fast. Just be you.
You seem like you know your stuff and you'll attract your own audience, myself being one of the. 👍🏽👑

Zenobia, it seems you and I are visiting the same sites. I just want to thank you for all your informative messages. I am a big Queen (Freddie) fan, and always appreciate your input. Keep well.
John wrote some very creative bass lines and I don't think him uncapable of writing this one. He also played a lot of his riffs high up the neck like this.
Panning the sound back and forth, then bringing it together with the harmonies,
was their trademark. Always something different.
Good point, recognized trademark!!!🙂 They were the innovators that others followed. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ)©️
Freddie is a one off there will never be another. He is a legend and will live forever along with his music and his voice. He is still receiving awards for his music even though he has been dead for nearly 29 years who else has achieved this. You will also be loved forever and never forgotten. Love you always and forever 😺😺💖💖💖💖💖
Freddie's little tribute to Marlene Dietrich slipping in, he loved her
It's important to remember that virtually everything Freddie wrote had a "tongue in cheek" element. The music itself he was very serious about but sometimes he had fun with the lyrics.
❤️❤️
The Queen is the Queen and that's the best. Freddie is Mozart of our century. That's all. Thanks!
i'm weird enough that when I listen to this one, I often link up a random video of people waltzing. It really works. It is a waltz!
On my next listen yeah sure. 🙂
1st time listen not always. That's the difference. Hehe.

Your reaction was great as always. The little things you pick up on is amazing!
Ooohh wow!!! Not at all Sumer... it's Queen and their magic with sound. I can't help it. Yes I could dance along (like some comments here have already said) but.... this one started off completely different. 😂 and had me like 🤔 right at the start. Unlike Cool Cat, which was just pure funk. Thanks for your comment.

Your intellectual response is so refreshing ;) Thank you
Appreciate that a lot. Thank you. 💜

Nice reaction Hap! Part of this song reminds me of the March of the Black Queen. I think it’s because of the changing speeds of the tempo maybe. I could sense a little BoRhap too. It’s definitely a cool song.
Hi Hap. Coming out of the shadows for the second time. IMHO this is one of Freddie and Queen’s masterpieces. It’s not a song but a work of art. I think of it as a song of celebration. The closest I can come to explaining my line of thought is comparing it to a classical piece that starts with an allegro, changes key and timing to change to an adagio, changes again to what I consider a scherzo and then joyously completes the circle back to the allegro. One can really hear his love for the arts in this one song. I don’t know if that makes any sense at all, but it reminds me that most things in life are circular (the circle of life, relationships, friendships, etc) and if we’re very lucky, then they are as triumphant as this song as well. Please don’t hold me to the exact terms, as I am not a music major. I just played in a school orchestra for 7 years many, many years ago. Love your channel and thanks for reacting to this wonderful piece of art!
Space is to be used and Queen uses it musically like no other Band. A wonderful piece to enjoy this Sunday morning. Thanks
I think the Bohemian Rhapsody feeling comes, because the song is full of changes, from sweet crooning to rock parts and back. I always thought of the Millionaire Waltz as a nice album song, but not that much as a stand alone song.
There is a lot going on there, but, as you say it, the bass is really crazy. If you listen to the song again, with drawing the attention to the bass, it's really exceptional.
Personally, I think there are a few too many changes, but I dearly love the crooning parts.
The picture fom 5:54 is from Knebworth, their very last live show ever (with Freddie), the last show of the Magic tour in 1986. The crowd was about 150.000 people. The put the date on the schedule as there was so much request for tickets, and Wembley was booked for something else, so they couldn't add a third night.
The biggest crowds they ever had were in South America, there were up to 400K audiences.
FlyingCloud Please take a closer look at the picture. This is from the free concert in Hyde Park in 1976. You can tell by the stage awning and vegetation.
Loved seeing your initial reaction at the beginning of the song... like: what am I hearing? Then, you went with the flow and started listening to all of the intricacies in this song which takes the listener up, down and all around as Queen does so masterfully. Thanks for another great, thoughtful reaction! Would love to see you react to: "I'm Going Slightly Mad". A brilliant song and video, sadly towards the end of Freddie's life - but it is a testament to his perseverance, humor, singing and acting abilities - and shows why he was simply the greatest. BTW, I always look to see what's on your shelf - love the plush pup!
Hey Nora 👋🏻!! My Queen friend!! Hope you are well 💞 I would love to see “I’m going slightly mad”. I feel that way every day!! LOL.
@@Sparkly-Unicorn Hey Phoebe! Right there with you, LOL! Hope all is well with you...
Thank you Hap ❤️
This song is like a ballroom waltz with rock.
Love the sweetness in young Freddie's vocal. Always come back to your reactions to Freddie and the gang's work.
Freddie once commented all of his songs were basically about “love and emotion”
Well that sums it up 👍🏽

@@bbbfst that's one you don't have to wonder what Freddie's talking about! haha
This song is so gorgeous. It goes around in a beautiful circle from beginning to end. I love the different switch ups in this from the bass at the start then from the waltz part to the up tempo part then back to the waltz tempo and finally the crescendo towards the end with the vocals and drums coming in - just magic . Roger Taylor said this song was more complex to put together than Bohemian Rhapsody. A Day At The Races is a wonderful but often overlooked album. There’s not a bad song on it in my opinion. Sorry for raving but I love this song so much. Thank you very much for reacting to this gem. PS - yes that pic is Hyde Park from a free concert Queen were involved in. I don’t know the date though.
Thank u for bringing up songs I've never heard from Queen
You're welcome Bonnie. 👑👍🏽Enjoy my journey with this fantastic group in chronological order on my Playlist (all music reaction but I do have the 1 vision documentary there at the moment. Will have lot's more.

You turn your back and they hit you by surprise. Who sait that a rock group could do what they wanted since they're doing right ? Polka, waltz, opera, flamenco, and so on. Freddie said in an intverview that Brian has been free to do his own orchestration ans he complimented John about his incredible uncommon work in this song.
This beautiful song is actually dedicated to John Reid their manager at the time. A little "Thank you" for his help getting out of the shitty contrat they had with Trident together with Jim "Miami" Beach the lawyer he suggested. The turn of events and signing with the right label made Queen finally to millionaires after enduring poverty for a long time despite having albums out and touring. Just a little tidbit. Great rection!
Thanks, I have always loved it - as well as your reactions
No problem. 🙂👑 thanks for your comment and welcome 👍🏽
(Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
Who needs an orchestra when you have these 4 guys!
This was probably their most diverse and creative period - this song is a real roller coaster ride in Waltz time (for the most part). NATO and DATR are just extensions of each other: love it!
Great reaction!!! You make me see things in the songs I did'nt see before & this is an old one.
It's a force of habit... it's not intentional. Honestly 🙂🎶
(Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
Doesn't this make you want to get up and dance? I'd probably fall down & break something. Here's a little trivia for you. In that bit where Freddie sings "My fine friend, Take me wiz you unt love me forever..." he is imitating the voice of one of his favorite actresses, the scandalous Marlene Dietrich. I also read that the album titles for "A Day At The Races" and "A Night At The Opera" were taken from the names of Marx Brothers movies.
I never knew that about the names. Does it make we want to dance, well not much as Cool Cat or Another One Bites The Dust. 🙂💜
(Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
I love knowing that about Marlene Dietrich! Thanks for the info!
Such a lovely song 💕 I can listen to this over and over again. I loved how you shared the rhythm and feelings in such easy ways to follow! Thanks, Hap! :)
You're absolutely welcome. Thanks for dropping a comment. 👍🏽👑

HAP3 thank you I loved it 😃👍🌼✌️ Love and peace.
So sweet. Thanks Marnie.

Thank you again for another great reaction Hap.
Love this song . QUEEN FOREVER 😍
Cheers from Corsica
Cor Blimey guys! Honestly it's not an issue at all. Happy you enjoy them. Thank you. 👑👍🏽Be sure to check out my Queen Playlist too. 🙂🌞

@@HAP3SPEAKZ I already saw all of them 🙂 Thank you 😉
Ooooohh lovely 🥰🥰🥰 more to come.
(Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
Deacons bassline is EPIC!!!!!
Yes, that's the crowd at Hyde Park where Freddie performed "You Take My Breath Away" which you reacted to the other day. You see what I meant by a rowdy crowd which his voice and his piano were able to silence.
Amazing Queen.........
They are. 💜
(Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
Hyde Park, yes! Their free concert and no way to ever really know how many people were really there. Just amazing!
Amazing times to be had... will there be another like that... I highly doubt it. Prob not in my life my life. 🎶

4:40 Great short High notes by Roger on the Right ear. 9:18 On that ''forever'' Freddie hits an Bb2 which is a Low Note and also on the ''forever'' at 9:30 it is a B2 which is just half a note higher (basically my normal talking Voice lol). 11:07 no you don't say that to every song. And yes I agree with the Bohemian Rhapsody feel in this one definitely. John with the Bass in this is really nice too.
I just want to remind you to react to *_Brian May - Resurrection (Official Music Video)._* I know you have many requests I just wanted to mention it again. It is so Unknown that nobody except for me will request it and it's a masterpiece that everyone has to see. I think the way you do it is most of your requests go of which recent ones are the most requested ones and stuff, and *_Brian May - Resurrection (Official Music Video)_* will never be requested by anyone else 😂. That's just why I'm pushing my lonely request, just wanted to tell you that 😂. Fantastic Reaction as always.
All I can say is “ONLY QUEEN AND FREDDIE MERCURY!”
John's bass is more up front than usual and he is very talented. I always listen for him in the songs and miss him so much. I love you and watch all your reactions, sometimes more than once!!!
Lovely, THANKS! Best #queenreaction !
Welcome. 🙏🏽
(Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
Awesome! I agree that you can see a lot of Freddie's touches here, like the BoRap feeling, the change of styles... It could belong to a musical. Anyway, please, react to Mustapha! I'm sure you'll love it, it's a blast!
Hi HelenaDax, it has been mentioned before. And even the title of the song has me curious. 🙂
(Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
@@HAP3SPEAKZ Haha, yes take some time for Mustapha once. It's something totally different. It also made it on some "bad Queen songs" lists, but that's just a matter of taste. Still there is the question: Are there any bad Queen songs at all?
FlyingCloud the question is what is the definition of a bad song? For Mustapha in my opinion lyric wise I just love how random Queen is. Musically wise it’s an experience. 😎😂 Freddie definitely got the vibe right in this song like what he did in “Crazy little thing called love” which has an Elvis vibe. Especially the way he sings it 😱👍🏻
@@flyingcloud6776 Bad songs? No.
Lesser songs? Yes.
This is very very far from a lesser song but one song I skip almost every time is My Life Has Been Saved.
As it dates back years before its release, the lyric is not necessarily about Freddie's illness, but the verses, for me, are not 'Queen' but just mediocre by their standards.
Life Queen Forever Eternity.
Freddie Forever Eternity Voice Legendary.
🎶🎼🎼🎶🎹🎸🎤
Always and forever 🎤💜💯 thank you.

song Take my Breaht Away.
🎶🎤
I am in my ball gown dancing with Freddie.
Good one to listen to is "Who needs you" from "News of the world" album.... Normally singers use the central, or slightly right side speaker to sing, but Freddie is TOTALLY on the left speaker... It makes the song sound SO much awesome....
Good Morning Hap, don’t forget “Was it all Worth It”
Ooh yes, that one and Princes of the universe!
Good morning. Not forgotten if it is archived 🙂💜

Try somewhen Staying Power song, it is something another again, I think, you will like it
fav song 🥺❤
I think the abrasive beginning portion you're talking about is supposed to function as a type of foreshadowing or mirror for the rest of the song. Because you've got the piano on one side and it's kind of sonic opposite on the other with John's bass. Then throughout the song we flip between the kind of flouncy retro love song and the aggressive rock, the beginnings of love and the presumed ending, and towards the end the hushed breathy lyrics and the playful tune again. It's all very contrasting stuff but it all smooshes into one cohesive story and song by the end, just like the beginning bit does. That's how I "read" it anyways. 😁
Yes, Queen free concert in Hyde Park, organized by Richard Branson, who did the same for The Rolling Stones early in their career, 125,000 showed up
There is a quick explanation of them beginning to use the "panning" in the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody "
Okay, it wasn't easy and I may not have it right, but this is what I came up with. I'm going to try and get your confirmation or not on the message on your blue bracelet!! Success is my duty to myself. ???
One of the best song Queen ever recorded It has every thing Freddys great voice slow en fast pieces I love the walz part Brain is still one of the greatest guitar players.
It's so different and easy to step to.

This song is one of the Queen's underrated songs. You can react to Teo Torriatte, this was written by Brian May. They sing in japanese in the chorus.
The 1979 live version is my favorite Teo Torriatte with the audience interaction.
Imagine how much you would miss if you listened to Queen with only one headphone on? lol
It's just how they created music. 👑
(Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ)©️
@@HAP3SPEAKZ it is wonderful and unique that is why they stand the test of time. I love your reactions, you have such a great ear for music!!
Fascinující Fredie Mercury
Love your reactions....Can you please listen to Teo torriate? Beautiful lyrics ,half is in Japanese , it was written by Brian...
Wow 🥰 loved it Hap 🤩 beautiful Freddie ❤️ liked already subscribed 😁
One of my favourite songs. Can you imagine that one live! Part of a medley but all the elements of the song are there & great to see they can reinterpret a song to make it fit live.
Check out The Millionaire Waltz/You're My Best Freind live from Houston 1977
Hi Allan, yeah I saw a few live versions of this song when it popped up! Very interesting to know how they would have performed this number LIVE. 👍🏽 cheers for that. 🎶
(Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
@@HAP3SPEAKZ A lot of them will be bootleg audio only. Think Houston 1977 is the only version filmed. Again it can be only be classed as reasonable quality. Plus without being back to back with You're My Best Friend it comes to an abrupt end.
This from my favorite album all time, A Day at the races. Every song on this album is great and unique. Tie your Mother down is my favorite from the album but I think a song like Long Away also couldve been a hit
Do you remember that the song Death on two legs was "dedicated" to their previous producer who was stealing from them? The Millionaire Waltz is about John Reid (Queen and Elton John's manager at the time) who, unfortunately, went back to produce Elton John's songs. The "song parade with love everywhere" is Queen being Queen again (and making money). Freddie was very happy! he was feeling "like a million dollars"
I love this song because it is so special and versatile and with special harmonies. It is Queen's power to create multi-part sound works with different styles. This is a great musical creation. Completely new, interesting and professional. Thanks for the great comment!
NOBODY does it like Queen!
Jealousy and See What a Fool I've Been are nice little gems, often overlooked, also Teo Torriate 1979 Japan, and Roger wrote Ride the Wild Wind but I prefer Freddie's version of that song, not done live as it is one of Freddie's later recordings. Thankz for reviewing every genre of their music. You are greatly appreciated
Of Course Freddie always had a particular genre of music he was toying with , in this case the classic or operatic waltz.. and I am sure as a few commenters have eluded, that he may have had some of his Idols in mind to whom he was poetically referring .But I think at the end of the day Queen in all their magnificent , virtuoso musicianship were here to send a musical message to other bands and artists. "HEY, Bet you cant do this !!"
One of my top 5 favourite Queen songs!
BEST #queenreaction is HERE! Thanks!
Cheers Fella, yes i also felt the feel from the rock section of BR.........I would assume 5:1 or 7:1 would enhance the songs.
Glad you picked up on that point!!! Going to have to put most of their songs on that. Puts you into a different head space. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
i see your reaccion before 2 days. and you are really good, i love!!! great perfomance and viva Queen!!!
From the brilliant mind that brought us Bohemian Rhapsody. What a song this is...how many songs in one?
The bass oh man
Color full yessss 😊 i agree with you
Good description. 🎶💜

Their albums are so different than live. They just make the music who knows. Its magical mystical.
Check the B-Side of the single ... "you and i" :-) another queen gold-diamond ^^+gg
I suggest that you can react to my life has been saved by Queen
To me Freddie and Prince were the most incredible singers and what they can do with their voices
For me this is some of John Deacon’s best work.
He’s just playing around Making fun of old times before swinging it.
Mate, a waltz is a dance and music in 3/4 time. This song is in 3/4 time.
I love your puppy. Does he have a name? 🙃
You have to try Innuendo. Wont be disappointed. Trust me.
