Oh, those wacky lads

March 22, 1984
Queen filmed the video for I Want To Break Free at Limehouse Studio in London, England, on this date. Directed by David Mallet, it was a parody of the northern British soap opera Coronation Street with the band members dressed in drag.

Guitarist Brian May later claimed that the video ruined the band in America, and was initially banned by MTV in the US.
