Queen for a Day - You're My Best Friend

John Deacon rears his songwriting head and comes up with the band's second, sure fire, radio friendly, super massive hit.
Starting off with a cheesy wurlitzer organ, the song comes across like the sound of the day. Meaning, it's dangerously close to the Captain and Tenille.
Rogers giant drums, the multi harmonies, Freddie's earnest singing, Brian's killer guitar work and RTB's production, elevate the song so high that it still turns up in movies and commercials. Nearly 40 years after it's release.
On the remastered you can really hear the xylophone-esque keyboard in the background.

It's cheese, but ready made wedding cheese.
