Google Tribute to Freddie

    The wife and I are huge Queen fans, so when I saw this I was pretty excited. Google has done some cool things with their doodles over the years, but this is probably my favorite so far.

    It's an even more appropriate choice as far as we're concerned because our first dance at our wedding was to this song. Either way, enjoy!

    Apropos of creating some discussion, does Google save their special doodles somewhere? Or has someone else collected them? It'd be cool to go back through.

    I don't know the answer to your question.
    Watching this, I'm a bit too emotionally torn apart to answer much of anything. Thanks a lot for posting this.
    :)

    Shoot .... for a moment, I misread that link and hallucinated a version for cat-lovers ... "Dont Stop Meaow!"

    Frosstbyte, your link takes me to Google New Zealand, but nothing to do with Queen or Freddie.
    Did they have a picture set up?

    -------
    Anyway, I started collecting Google doodles back in 2003, but then my computer crashed last year.
    I don't have access to them anymore, and I haven't collected any more since then.

    Here's the collection on Google's site.

    Btw, I somehow came across a Freddie impersonator on YouTube the other day that mimics him pretty well.

    I think Freddie Mercury would have enjoyed a 40 year old antennae installer doing him... ( heh )

    It is too bad Freddie is no longer with us.

    They did it because he would've turned 65 today. Queen is my favourite of all time. Mercury was the greatest performer ever!! Nice tribute from Google.

    Not too bad looking, actually. Plus, it's for a good cause.

    They seem to have taken it down now for some reason. When I posted it, the google logo had a collage of pictures of him with a play button that would play "Don't Stop Me Now" with an animated sequence. It was very cool.

    Thanks, Frosstbyte and Zen. It finally showed up here in the US version.
    Google outdid themselves this time. What a fantastic tribute to a great artist.

    The doogle... goodle... Google doodle of Freddy was delayed for a day in the USA, so it wouldn't conflict with Labor Day.

    That's probably third favorite Google Doodles ever (Les Paul and Pacman being #1 and #2).
