This is Tony Burrows, but did you know he may very well hold the record for most hit records recorded under different band names.
In 1970, a very unusual novelty single, "Gimme Dat Ding" by the Pipkins hit the charts and became a top hit both in the UK and the U.S. This very unusual single has an even stranger history.

"Gimme Dat Ding" was the first proto-type rap song ever, using two voices in a strange duet, one very similar to that of radio announcer Wolfman Jack, and another much higher-pitched voice. The song also made use of ragtime-era-styled music.
The popular comedy show, The Benny Hill Show often made use of the music from this song which was originally written for a British children's program called Oliver and the Overlord

Tony Burrows, the lead singer on the song actually hit the charts in 1970 using four different act names. With The White Plains, "My Baby Loves Lovin"" was their hit, He also sang under the title Edison Lighthouse, "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes", and with The Brotherhood Of Man, "United We Stand", all hits and It was probably the first time in chart history that one singer had four chart hits in one year in both the UK and the U.S. using four different act names, each with a different style of music. Two other singles by Burrows recorded under the group names Current Kraze and The Naked Truth apparently failed to chart in 1970. Tony Burrows sang the deeper voice parts, while it was Roger Greenaway who did the falsetto style voice on "Gimme Dat Ding".

Tony Burrows was sometimes described as "the human hit machine" because he had an unusual knack for picking the right songs to sing that became hits. Burrows also rates in the record books as having the most chart hit singles by any human being ever. Burrows had hit singles recording under his own name, as well as with a huge number of group names. He was also the lead singer of First Class and had the hit "Beach Baby" with them as well.

WHY IS THE SONG CALLED BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY?...

WHY IS IT EXACTLY 5 MINUTES 55 SECONDS?...WHAT IS THIS SONG REALLY ABOUT?...WHY WAS THE QUEEN MOVIE RELEASED ON OCTOBER 31?

The film was released on October 31 because the single was heard for the first time on October 31, 1975. It is titled like this because a "Rhapsody" is a free piece of music composed in different parts and themes where it seems that no part has any relation to the other. The word "rhapsody" comes from Greek and means "assembled parts of a song." The word "bohemian" refers to a region of the Czech Republic called Bohemia, the place where Faust, the protagonist of the play that bears his name written by the playwright and novelist Goethe, was born. In Goethe's work, Faust was a very intelligent old man who knew everything except the mystery of life. Not understanding it, he decides to poison himself.

Just at that moment the church bells ring and he goes out into the street. Back in his room, he finds there is a dog. The animal transforms into a kind of man. It is about the devil Mephistopheles. He promises Fausto to live a full life and not be miserable in exchange for his soul. Fausto agrees, rejuvenates and becomes arrogant. He meets Gretchen and they have a son. His wife and son die. Fausto travels through time and space and feels powerful. As he grows old again he feels miserable again. Since he did not break the pact with the devil, the angels dispute his soul. This work is essential to understanding Bohemian Rhapsody.

The song talks about Freddie Mercury himself. Being a rhapsody we find 7 different parts:

1st and 2nd act A Capella
3rd act Ballad
4th act guitar solo
5th act opera
6th act rock
7th act "coda" or final act

The song talks about a poor boy who questions whether this life is real or if it is his distorted imagination that lives another reality. He says that even if he stops living, the wind will continue to blow without his existence. So he makes a deal with the devil and sells his soul.

Upon making this decision, he runs to tell his mother and tells her...
“Mom, I just killed a man, I put a gun to his head and now he's dead. I have thrown my life away. If I'm not back tomorrow, move on as if nothing matters..." That man who kills is himself, Freddie Mercury himself.

If he does not fulfill the pact with the devil, he will die immediately. He says goodbye to his loved ones and his mother bursts into tears, tears and desperate crying that come from Brian May's guitar notes. Freddie, scared, shouts "mom, I don't want to die" and the operatic part begins. Freddie is in an astral plane where he sees himself: "I see a little silhoutte of a man." "scaramouche, are you going to start a dispute/fight?"

Scaramouche is "skirmish" a dispute between armies with horse riders (4 horsemen of the Apocalypse of evil fight against the forces of good for Freddie's soul) and it goes on to say "Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me" too much). This phrase appears in the Bible, exactly in Job 37 when he says... "the thunder and lightning frighten me: my heart pounds in my chest." His mother, seeing him so scared by the decision her son has made, begs to save him from the pact with Mephistopheles. "He's just a poor boy..." He forgives his life for this monstrosity. What comes easy, goes easy. Will you let him go? " Their supplications are heard and the angels descend to fight the forces of evil." Bismillah (Arabic word meaning "In the name of God") is the first word that appears in the Muslim holy book, the Quran. So God himself appears and shouts "we will not abandon you, let him go."

Faced with such a confrontation between the forces of good and evil, Freddie fears for the life of his mother and tells her "Mama mia, mama mia let me go" (mother, let me go). They shout again from the sky that they are not going to abandon him and Freddie shouts "no, no, no, no, no" and says "Beelzebub (the Lord of Darkness) may have put a devil in you mother." Freddie here pays tribute to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Sebastian Bach when he sings... "Figaro, Magnifico" referencing Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro", considered the best opera in history, and Bach's "Magnificat" . The operatic part ends and the rock part begins. The devil, angry and betrayed by Freddie by not fulfilling the pact, tells him “Do you think you can insult me like this? Do you think you can come to me and then abandon me? “Do you think you can love me and let me die?”

It is shocking how the lord of evil feels powerless before a human being, before repentance and love. Once the battle is lost, the devil leaves and we reach the last act or "coda"
