John Deacon as Ena Sharples in “I Want To Break Free”

Queen's 1984 video for their song, "I Want To Break Free" featured the foursome dressed in drag as characters from "Coronation Street" a long-running soap opera from the United Kingdom. This includes John Deacon as Ena Sharples. Unfortunately, MTV execs and fans in the United States didn't get it and it caused a minor controversy, stalling their career stateside, until at least the early 90s, after frontman, Freddie Mercury's death. The video is now considered a camp classic.
