The song lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is about a man facing a prison sentence for killing a man. As the song progresses, we discover that the man is on death row.

This is a CD made up of songs about relationships; they are some of the greatest songs of Motown between 1965-1971. This CD tells tales about love, gossip, cheating, pleading, and all the other things that come with a relationship.
