Queen fans have recently voted the chorus of their mega-hit Don't Stop Me Now as the band's best ever lyric in a poll to mark the group's 40th anniversary.
One in five fans favoured the line "Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball" to celebrate the band's four decades, which coincides with what would have been Freddie Mercury's 65th birthday year.
Penned by Mercury and featured as the twelfth track on the band's 1978 album Jazz, the song reached number nine in the charts during1979.
Coming in second in the HMV poll of 3,000 Queen fans was the lyric from The Show Must Go On - "My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies, fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die. I can fly my friends." In fact, such a well loved lyric that I know someone who has it tattooed on them self...
Gennaro Castaldo, of HMV, said: "Whilst you'd imagine there might be more obvious choices, we shouldn't be too surprised that a lyric from Don't Stop Me Now is a clear favourite among fans - it's such a feel-good, life-affirming song."
