Iconing pop-rock celebrities QUEEN filmed the video for huge hit
I WANT TO BREAK FREE (more than 205 million streams on Spotify)
on this day in 1984.

Directed by David Mallet, it was a parody of the British soap Coronation Street
with the band members dressed in drag. Guitarist Brian May later said the video
ruined the band in America and was initially banned by MTV in the US.

C’mon, ladies, break free.
