Yes, technically it would be considered a cover. And a very good one at that.

I've always wondered, since it's a cover, why Al chose not to copy Freddy Mercury's vocal style. I'm pretty sure he could have done it, so I'm thinking it was because he was kind of making fun of the song, and that it was polka-style?
The tsunami of immediacy will wash away the flood of grief, and reveal a layer of naive optimism underneath

Well, I think Al wanted to make it unique, and fit the polka style. And no offense to Al, who is a great singer especially in recent years, but nobody can hold a candle to Freddie when it comes to singing.KnottyEmily @ Jul 29 2006, 07:47 PM wrote: I've always wondered, since it's a cover, why Al chose not to copy Freddy Mercury's vocal style.

I agree with anth. NOBODY can match the voice of Freddie Mercury. When Queen + Paul Rodgers was created, Paul didn't try to imitate and sing like Mercury, he sung like bad COM-PA-NAY! *gets shot*
Anyway, if Al DID sing like Mercury, it just wouldn't fit with the polka.

How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if the wood chuck's name was Prince?
