I Want To Break Free

Written by bassist John Deacon for Queen's 1984 album The Works, this song became known for its controversial music video where all band members dressed in drag to parody the British soap opera Coronation Street. The video's concept was proposed by drummer Roger Taylor and also featured a segment with the Royal Ballet choreographed by Wayne Eagling, reaching number 3 in the UK and topping charts in Austria, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
