ENTIRE BAND: Queen doesn’t play disco, that is a stupid idea, we’re a rock and roll band for misfits. How dare you even bring it up.
JOHN: [plays bass line for Another One Bites the Dust]
ENTIRE BAND: God damn. That’s so good. That’s the best damn thing I’ve ever heard. Shit. I guess we play disco now. Fuck.

Not gonna lie, one of my favorite parts about writing urban fantasy is determining how and where the fantasy meshes in with reality.
Like, I’m not saying Freddie Mercury WAS a siren, but have you ever heard anyone NOT sing along to Bohemian Rhapsody?
I rest my case.
It is a six-minute song with incomprehensible lyrics that seem to have something to do with murder and demons, with five sections that are completely different stylistically but no chorus.
It was number one on the the UK singles charts twice, 15 years apart, and is by many measures one of the most popular, or the most popular, single of all time.
Yeah, there’s magic involved.
And an absurdly broad swathe of people know it. I have no memory of learning it, do you?
