I can kick it off on Twitter. I know it by heart ;)

I'm not certain which is the better audience. You probably have the best feel for which is more inclined?

Cool. So I'll schedule this for Twitter and Facebook?

Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", at the time the most expensive single ever made, turns 40 today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Rhapsody

I once watched people tweet all the lyrics back and forth on Twitter. It was really impressive. I might try to get that started on the Facebook thread. Or Twitter?

Magnifico!

I prefer the expense one. People like to talk about money.

Honestly i'm happy with the 4 hour fact as well, i think the subject as video is relatively clear but don't mind either way :).

Re: your FB post: LGTM, bit of a concern it's too long but I trust you on that.

Great find, Joe! Not sure about the four hours part, though. The article says the video was recorded in just four hours on 10 November 1975. But the song, which was released October 31 took three weeks to record. So that might be confusing. What if I set up the most expensive tweet and this for Facebook? 

Music executives and even other musicians told Queen that "Bohemian Rhapsody," at 5 minutes, 55 seconds long, would never be a hit. But the band believed in Freddy Mercury's uniquely operatic song, and released it on this day 40 years ago. The single has sold more than 6.7 million copies.

Hey all,

Queen's hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" turns 40 tomorrow. Sounds like a good thing to socialise.

T: Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", and its "ground-breaking" video, turn 40 today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Rhapsody

FB: The "ground-breaking" video for Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", which turns 40 years old today, took just four hours to record. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Rhapsody
