Styx's "Mademoiselle," which rarely gets radio airplay today, came up during an iTunes shuffle mode session recently, which made me think, "I've never heard any radio station play Queen's 'Killer Queen' before or after 'Mademoiselle,' but surely, some station has segued those two songs. Both tunes have similar rhythms and attitudes, so it's a natural pairing for album rock stations."
After knowing both songs for over 40 years, I'm puzzled that this revelation just struck me. "Mademoiselle" deserved to be a bigger hit, I've always thought, though, so perhaps if it had been, I'd have thought of this segue back in the '80s.
