Don't Stop Me Now

Here's a first: two versions of the same song (because it's that damn good): "Don't Stop Me Now by Queen. 

First the official video, with the studio backing track:




Now the karaoke version, with the real Queen backing track.  This version allows you to hear Freddie Mercury's great piano playing.  Feel free to sing along.



Freddie Mercury, while not a formally trained musician (or vocalist, for that matter) was still an impressive piano player.  Roger Taylor, Queen's drummer, has said that it pisses him off when people call Freddie an "entertainer" because he was not just a guy who ran around on stage, he was a damn good musician.  This track bears that out.
