No, it isn't "Bohemian Rhapsody," but in the pantheon of Queen songs, "Headlong" gets unfairly overlooked. I really got into rock during Queen's hiatus, so this single, which came out in 1991, was my first real exposure to the band before Wayne's World. I quite liked it. Unfortunately, the video for the song is much more conventional, and far less gonzo, than most anything else they did. On the bright side, seeing Freddie Mercury dressed as a suburban dad and Brian May wearing a Bart Simpson shirt makes up for a lot.
