On this date back in 1976, Queen's Night at the Opera is certified gold.  Let's be honest...how many of us have lip synched the words to "Bohemian Rhapsody" at full blast on your car stereo?  Chip is certainly guilty.  Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?

is the fourth studio album by British rock group, Queen, released in November 1975. Co-produced by Roy Thomas Baker and Queen, A Night at the Opera was, at the time of its release, the most expensive album ever recorded. A commercial success, A Night at the Opera has been voted by the public and cited by music publications as one of Queen's finest works.

The album takes its name from the Mars Brothers film A Night At The Opera, which the band watched one night at the studio complex when recording.  It was originally released by EMI in the United Kingdom where it topped the charts for four non-consecutive weeks, and Elektra Records in the United States where it peaked at number four.
