Ted Tocks Covers - Year 8 - Day 95

A Night at the Opera

This groundbreaking album was released 50 years ago today.

“Talk like a big business tycoon,
But you're just a hot - air balloon,
So no one gives you a damn,
You're just an overgrown school - boy
Let me tan your hide.”

@Bez_Lightyear After some research: yes.

It's directed by David Mallet, who was also on the team at The Kenny Everett Video Show.

There was a young lady from Bude
Who went for a swim in the lake
A man in a punt
Stuck an oar in her ear
And said 'You can't swim here, it's dangerous'
