Don’t Stop Me Now (...Revisited Credits Mix) - REMASTERED 16mm VIDEO High-Definition
A mix I made of Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now“ from the album “Jazz“ (1978), in the style of the rendition of the song that features at the start of the credits of the “Bohemian Rhapsody“ (2018) film.
I liked the style of the song featured during the film’s credits which had the vocal-only slow intro as recreated on this mix and the rhythm guitar playing throughout the song, but it didn’t have the newly-recorded guitar solo as featured on the 2018 “...Revisited“ version on the film’s own soundtrack album.
However, the version on the film’s album didn’t feature the slow intro that I liked from the film, so I decided to combine this with the version featuring both the rhythm guitars and the new solo.
Furthermore, I couldn’t rip the audio straight from the film as it had the audience cheer from the end of the Live Aid set over the top.
If you listen to the original 1978 Album version of the song, you’ll notice there is no rhythm guitar at all and Brian only actually plays guitar during the solo. You can see him playing on set throughout the entire original music video, but the guitar track was ultimately omitted from the final Album mix. These guitars were recorded and finally released in 2011 as part of the series of album remasters and re-issues as Track 3 on Disc 2: “Don’t Stop Me Now (With Long-Lost Guitars),“ which can be heard here: - This version not only features the rhythm guitar track originally recorded in 1978 but was missing on the Album release, but also an entirely different solo to both the original 1978 Album version and the 2018 Revisited version.
To summarise, this version features:
-Slow, vocal-only intro from the 2018 film.
-Rhythm guitar throughout the whole song from “Long-Lost Guitars“ and “...Revisited“ versions.
-The newly-recorded guitar solo from the “...Revisited“ version.
To top it all off, the YouTube versions of the Official Music Video are all low-quality (360p), so I downloaded a video remastered from the original 16mm transfer by QueenZone member “Chief Mouse“ (Rudolf Greeva). Available here:

Lyrics written by Freddie Mercury:
Tonight, I’m gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world I’ll turn it inside out, yeah
And floating around in ecstasy
So don’t stop me now don’t stop me
’Cause I’m having a good time, having a good time
I’m a shooting star, leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I’m a racing car, passing by like Lady Godiva
I’m gonna go, go, go
There’s no stopping me
I’m burnin’ through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees
That’s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I’m traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Don’t stop me now, I’m having such a good time
I’m having a ball
Don’t stop me now
If you wanna have a good time, just give me a call
Don’t stop me now (’cause I’m having a good time)
Don’t stop me now (yes, I’m havin’ a good time)
I don’t want to stop at all
Yeah, I’m a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite, I’m out of control
I am a sex machine, ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh explode
I’m burnin’ through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees
That’s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I’m traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you
Don’t stop me, don’t stop me
Don’t stop me, hey, hey, hey
Don’t stop me, don’t stop me
Ooh ooh ooh, I like it
Don’t stop me, don’t stop me
Have a good time, good time
Don’t stop me, don’t stop me, ah
Oh yeah
Alright
Oh, I’m burnin’ through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees
That’s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I’m traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Don’t stop me now, I’m having such a good time
I’m having a ball
Don’t stop me now
If you wanna have a good time (wooh)
Just give me a call (alright)
Don’t stop me now (’cause I’m having a good time, yeah yeah)
Don’t stop me now (yes, I’m havin’ a good time)
I don’t want to stop at all
La da da da daah
Da da da haa
Ha da da ha ha haaa
Ha da daa ha da da aaa
