I Want to Break Free

Who wants to see the late, great Freddie Mercury dressed like a housewife today?  OK, so maybe it's not a pretty picture, but this 1984 song was a solid effort from Queen despite the video being banned by MTV at the time.  That banning probably led to the low record sales of this single in the U.S., but it was still went all the way to #3 in the UK.  Rolling on with our "Queen November," here is Queen with "I Want to Break Free"...
