You're My Best Friend

Postby GoogaMooga » 14 May 2022, 11:42

At last !

After searching for more than thirty years, I have finally found the Queen song, "You're My Best Friend", isolated on a VA comp. I've already got the only other Queen song that I like, "Under Pressure", isolated on a Bowie comp. That's all the Queen I'll ever need.

"You're My Best Friend" is the first track on the VA comp from EMI TV, "I Love Mum", a Mother's Day-themed CD. Now I don't need to buy any Queen comps. They don't belong in my collection.

It is not bad at all, in fact, if I skip Spice Girls and Katie Melua, it is a pretty good tracklist:

Queen – You're My Best Friend
Roy Orbison – Oh, Pretty Woman
Tina Turner – The Best
Kylie Minogue – Spinning Around
Hot Chocolate – You Sexy Thing
The Foundations – Build Me Up Buttercup
Joss Stone – Super Duper Love
Kelis feat. Cee-Lo – Lil Star
Corinne Bailey Rae – Like A Star
Bill Withers – Ain't No Sunshine
Eva Cassidy – Over The Rainbow
Norah Jones – Come Away With Me
Katie Melua – Stardust
Frank Sinatra – I've Got You Under My Skin
Al Green – How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?
The Hollies – The Air That I Breathe
Cliff Richard – Carrie
Duran Duran – Ordinary World
Roxette – It Must Have Been Love
Spice Girls – Mama

It is ok for us to tell her. Not for him to.

You are right, that is pretty fucked. I wouldn't use it as a present. I just ignore the title, what matters is I've got YMBF isolated now.

You searched for 30 years? Why didn’t you just buy a Queen comp.and just isolate and play the two tracks that you like, you might even have got to like some of their other stuff by default, instead of buying a dodgy comp. like that?

Your a strange one Googa.

No, it's got to be factory pressed, official release. I don't burn or download or any of that stuff. I can't allow any Queen material in my collection other than those two songs. Zilth Pilchards is 100% allergic to Queen; I am only 98%, as I like those two. ;)

We’re all a little O.C.D. about our music I guess.
