The “I Want to Break Free” four-pack captures Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor as they appeared in the song’s famous 1984 music video. The clip memorably featured the rock group in drag, designed as a parody of the long-running English soap opera Coronation Street. The humor was lost on American audiences, including MTV who notoriously banned the video.
Queen's "I Want To Break Free" named best housecleaning song.
“I Want To Break Free” by Queen has been voted the best tune – to clean to, according to research. The pop track from 1984 has claimed the crown as the ultimate dusting and vacuuming song.
Other favourites in the list of tracks that crank up the cleaning energy include “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor, “Take on Me” by a-ha, and “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper, the survey of 2,000 adults found. “Total Eclipse of the Heart”, by Bonnie Tyler, also featured among the top 10.
The research was commissioned by Samsung to mark the launch of its Clean Qweens team, which will see housekeepers decked out in uniform inspired by the greatest power ballad to clean to.
