A Really Sweet 16!
What could be better than having Adam Lambert and his band perform at your 16th birthday party? Well perhaps having a surprise performance by Adam Lambert at your 16th birthday party!
And anyone who has ever been to Harrisburg knows that it is nice but in the middle of nowhere central Pennsylvania. Things like this do not often happen there.
That is an amazing secret to keep!! Can you just imagine!?!
On top of that, Julie Hollinger is a huge fan and shared a really poignant tweet about what the appearance meant to her -- and got a kiss on the cheek from Adam!

Met my idol today. I couldn't have asked to meet anyone more special to me. He means the absolute world to me, and I got to spend the whole night with him. Words can not express how much this man means to me, and how much he's helped me conquer so many fears and challenges in my life, and I didn't even get to thank him enough today. Thank you so much, Adam, for making my day

The “Lay Me Down” Official Radio Edit

I love this!! There cannot be an Adam fan on the planet that does not instantly think this is the best edit ever. Wall-to-wall ADAM vocal wrapped in an infectious mix of AVICII EDM goodness and with a hint of funk courtesy of Nile Rodgers.
If you are the one Adam fan who thinks this could be better, perhaps you should consult your nearest audiologist?
OK, I have been a fan long enough to know that there has rarely been anything that every Adam fan is unanimous about but I am really pretty sure this LMD edit might be an exception – there is nothing wrong with it. Nothing.

#60 “Flick Of The Wrist” (1974)
Written by: Freddie Mercury
Released on Sheer Heart Attack November 1, 1974 Also released as a Double A-side single Killer Queen / Flick Of The Wrist October 21, 1974
If I can only have one song from Sheer Heart Attack performed at the upcoming concerts, it is “Killer Queen." But if I get two picks, “Flick Of The Wrist” might get that #2 slot. This song was a well-deserved Queen concert staple from 1974 through 1976.
“Flick Of The Wrist” is one of the Queen songs that fans appreciated but critic did not. Here is what Classic Rock wrote in their review thie track of Sheer Heart Attack:
“Flick Of The Wrist” Whoah! Just as the last song doesn't finish (remember we're in a medley here), we change styles to something much more aggressive. In fact, downright nasty at times. I suspect this was descended from Great King Rat and Liar on the first album, with a little bit of March Of The Black Queen thrown in for good measure. It doesn't do anything for me, I'm afraid. Lyrically, it's another of those things where I haven't a clue what Freddie's going on about. A little poor. This song was released, in fact, as a double-A sided single with Killer Queen, but never remembered. This is unfortunate, because it drags the album down a peg.
Rating: 3 (of 10)
And the overall rating of the album…”The Worst Song: “She Makes Me.” “Flick Of The Wrist” a close second.

Freddie Mercury never went on record as to whether the unpleasant character in the song is based on anyone in particular. The song includes Freddie Mercury singing vocals. When Brian May returned to work having recovered from his hepatitis, he had not heard the song before he recorded his guitarand backing vocals.
As it appears on the album, "Flick of the Wrist" is the middle song of a three-track series of songs which seamlessly overlap, segueing from one to the other: "Tenement Funster" to "Flick of the Wrist" to "Lily of the Valley". Each song was recorded separately and later mixed together to form the unbroken stretch of music. Because of this structure, the record company had to select points to separate each track on CD re-issues of the album. "Flick of the Wrist," in this way, starts with the crescendo ending of "Tenement Funster" and ends abruptly before the last line of the song "...baby, you've been had." This last lyric appears at the beginning of the next CD track, "Lily of the Valley".
The original, non-segued master recordings of "Tenement Funster," "Flick of the Wrist" and "Lily of the Valley" were used for some singles' flip-sides, such the Japanese 3-inch CD single re-issue of Queen's first EP ("Tenement Funster"), the Dutch AA-side version of "Flick of the Wrist" (see below) and the 1975 US-only re-issue of "Keep Yourself Alive" ("Lily of the Valley").

Here is the whole album, with “Flick of the Wrist” in context. My suggestion is to listen to the whole thing or at least to listen to it from 8:11 though the end “Lily or the Valley”. These are the three tracks Queen composed to go together:
3. Tenement Funster-8:11
4. Flick of the Wrist- 10:59
5. Lily of the Valley- 14:16

“Flick Of The Wrist” (Single Version)
All the single versions and edits are from the original album recording.
youtu.be/NAWyQXFlcCg
The Dutch AA-side version features the complete song without the seguing, overlapping sections from "Tenement Funster" and "Lily of the Valley".
The UK AA-side version features almost the same complete version as the Dutch version, but with a few notes edited at the beginning. This version also features on the 1991 Japanese 3-inch CD single of "Killer Queen"/"Flick Of The Wrist."
The US AA-side version (the same as issued in Canada) has a much more pronounced edit at the beginning, with the first 18 seconds of the song absent. It ends with a fade-out over the segue into "Lily of the Valley," where the latter's opening piano is heard.
The UK's 1987 3-inch CD single re-issue starts with the crescendo segue which ends "Tenement Funster." It ends with a fade-out before the song is properly over, missing the last line "Baby, you've been had."
It was also reissued as a AA 3” CD single Killer Queen / Flick Of The Wrist, 1988 3" CD Single

“Flick Of The Wrist” Lyrics
youtu.be/Cp0NCwBOfX4
“Flick Of The Wrist”
Dislocate your spine if you don't sign
He says I'll have you seeing double
Mesmerize you when he's tongue tied
Simply with those eyes oooh
Synchronize your minds and see
The beast within him rise
Don't look back don't look back
It's a rip off
Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby
Blow him a kiss and you're mad
Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He's taken an arm and taken a leg
All this time honey baby you've been had
Intoxicate your brain with what I'm saying
If not you'll lie in knee deep trouble
Prostitute yourself he says
Castrate your human pride oooh
Sacrifice your leisure days
Let me squeeze you 'till you've dried
Don't look back don't look back
It's a rip off
Work my fingers to my bones
I scream with pain I still make no impression
Seduce you with his money make machine
Cross collateralise big time money money
Reduce you to a muzak fake machine
Then the last goodbye
Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby
Blow him a kiss and you're mad
Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He's taken an arm and taken a leg
All this time honey baby you've been had
