Too Much Queen
by RL Policar
As much as I like the song Bicycle Race by Queen, I am starting to get annoyed in how everyone in YouTube uses it to make their video. Oh man when I did a search for “bicycle” I must have previewed over a dozen videos using that song….STOP IT! Pick another song!
This is a great place to promote awareness of other songs about biking. I’d like to submit the following:
in Rural Ireland: Luka Bloom – The Acoustic Motorbike
in Suburban Baltimore: Cex – Ghost Rider*
in Manhattan: Cibo Matto – Sci-Fi Wasabi
All three can be previewed and purchased at the iTunes Music Store.
*- the chorus on Ghost Rider is particularly great:
Thumb shift, gears click, can you hear it?
The real 5-speed concrete street spirit
Downhill, one wheel, can you feel me?
Drag you out your car, teach you how to pop a wheelie
So there are some alternatives. Anyone else have some recommendations?
