23skidoo 15th Mar 2023		"Rudy's Rock" is singled out because it's the only song by Haley that's performed "live" the rest being mimed recordings (he hadn't recorded a studio version of it yet!). Oddly, though, Freddy Bell's songs don't match the Mercury studio recordings either and may also have been done "live" but are listed as from recordings. Incredibly, the actual song Rock Around the Clock is never heard in its entirety in the film; a portion plays over the opening credits, the intro is reprised in a montage scene, and at the end while the whole song is more or less performed, a dialogue scene plays out over all but the last verse. No wonder there were cinema riots!
