Don’t Stop Me Now top lyric

QUEEN fans have voted the chorus of their 1979 top 10 hit Don’t Stop Me Now as the band’s best lyric in a poll to mark the group’s 40th anniversary today.

One in five fans favoured the line “Don’t stop me now, I’m having such a good time, I’m having a ball” to celebrate the band’s four decades, which coincides with what would have been Freddie Mercury’s 65th birthday.

Coming in second in the HMV poll of 3,000 Queen fans was the lyric from The Show Must Go On: “My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies, fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die. I can fly, my friends.”
