      Fandango?

      Freddie Mercury: Bohemian Rhapsody ("Scara X2, Do you do the fandango?");
      Ray Royer: Whiter Shade of Pale ("We skip the light fandango");

      ... Bernie escapes me (although the actor Bernard Hill's agent is "Fandango 7 Co" or such-like!)

        The right Freddie but not Fandango.

          fantasy ?
          I'm guessing
          EDIT - is Bernie usually known as Bernard, and perhaps a composer ?

                ........... a question asked before fandango was offered, suggesting [to me] that we are still thinking around Bohemian Rhapsody lyrics ???

                        No, but lyrics from another Queen song.

                          Related to thermometers but dont concentrate on the mercury.

                            Bernard Herrmann wrote the music to "Fahrenheit 451"...

                            By George, I think I've got it:

                            Two hundred degrees
                            That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
                            I wanna make a supersonic man of you

                            Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
                            I'm having a ball don't stop me now

                            "...the isle is full of noises,
                            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                              well I've been thinking of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, film score by BH

                              oops cross-posted - someone obviously knows the lyrics better than I

                                Cross-posted ygad!! I guess the recently departed Mr Bradbury is the Ray in question...? Nice work mercs, I'd overlooked that!
