Google went all out on this Doodle. And without a doubt, they made it almost as fabulous as the person it's a tribute to. The Doodle starts as a collection of animated photographs of Freddie Mercury, with "Google" overlaid on the photos. There is a giant play sign in the middle of the Doodle.
Once you click on it, the fun begins. It turns out to be a music video for Mercury's song, "Don't Stop Me Now". The video starts as a pan shot across the photographs and Google logo and turns into an animated Queen concert. The lyrics are closed captioned on the video and you can choose to turn them on or off in the play bar. You can also pause, rewind or fast forward the video as you like. The Google logo is set as a backdrop on the stage of the animated concert. The video then takes the Freddie Mercury figure into a fantasy world where he is flying in the sky and riding on the tiger. We are taken back to the concert scene for the end of the song.
