I think I inherited this trait from Mom. I have a clear memory of her standing in the kitchen...in the 60's...listening to a song on the radio and then asking, in all innocence..."Why would they name a song 'I Love You, Big Horse' "!!!!! It was "I Love You Because" by....hmmm...wanna say Al Martino? To bring it back to Adam, that chant frustrated me to no end because I always found Adam to be such an articulate speaker and singer, that I rarely have a problem understanding him....except for this one time! American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term "Mondegreen" for misheard lyrics, because as a child she heard the last line of a poem as: Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands, Oh, where hae ye been? They hae slain the Earl o' Moray, And Lady Mondegreen. The last line is actually "and laid him on the green." Some people think there's a line in "Bad Moon Rising" that says "There's a bathroom on the right." I read about a woman who thought Elvis had a song about a woman named Marcia Cook--"I'm in love! Marcia Cook!" I used to think that Paul Simon sang about "the war zone, Seventh Avenue" in The Boxer and was surprised to learn that he was actually singing about "the whores on Seventh Avenue." In the words of Emily Litella, "Never mind." That's very interesting! I've learned so much about so many different things in this place! To bring it back to Adam: "'scuse me while I kiss this guy!"

You know, if ever the expression "laughing all of the way to the bank" applied, it's in this situation. Adam and the rest of Queen are making a ton of money and why shouldn't they? If the "purists" want to spend the rest of their lives sitting rawk shiva for a guy who died 30 years ago, that's their choice and their problem. Adam will be set for life, financially, and as a result, will be able to pick and choose what he does for the rest of his career. Priceless. So too bad, so very sad for the whiners and bitchers. Fuck 'em. In other words, to the haters: 8-) (gif totally stolen from twitter, but I believe it came from purplegirll)
Ummmmm ..... this GIF reminds me of the commenters that have said "He's so wooden on stage.... he just stands there" Take another drink!

Great fun!! I will try it tonight! I need to add one.... 11. Take a drink whenever someone does the Freddie is >>>>> Adam and mentions "goat vibrato" and or "hammer vibrato". 12. Take a drink whenever someone says Adam sings with no feeling or soul. (see those comments a lot....on queenonline someone said that he sang STL on XFactor with no soul...they seem to really hate him over there) yup, the "no feeling" is a popular OUT for those who actually accept that Adam can sing. And here is another "last straw" complaint: 13. Take a drink whenever someone says Adam "has no stage presence" or "wooden" or "does not engage/interact with the audience" queenofthenight - WELCOME!!!

Welcome queenofthenight. Will have to hide the liquor when I read some of the dreek posted by people about Adam and Queen. Have definitely thought a wee bit of alcohol would help get through the whining and moaning.
