Which song do you always skip straight to on a long road trip playlist?

Somehow this track has been on every playlist, every pub jukebox, and every karaoke night since 2003 and nobody is remotely tired of it. Belting it out past a Watford Gap service station at midnight is a rite of passage.

The moment those first piano notes kick in, every passenger becomes Freddie Mercury whether they like it or not. No skipping, no talking — just operatic nonsense at full volume, ideally through a tunnel.

Researchers actually studied this and Queen won, which means putting it on your road trip playlist is basically a medical decision. Try feeling road rage while this is playing — you physically cannot.

There is no more British a road trip moment than Phil Daniels shouting about the people's lives while you overtake a lorry on the M25. It's practically a national heritage experience.

Nobody fully knows the verses but that has never stopped anyone, and the ba-ba-baas are basically hardwired into every British person's DNA. Warning: may cause involuntary arm movements while driving.
