I'm sure the lead singer is a well known actor, my ex is older than me and he liked 80s movies

The singer was Martin Short, the drummer John Candy,this is a spoof it sounds like they are really singing but the instrument are played by professionals musician.
This is SCTV a kind of Canadian Saturday Night Live late night comedy show from the early 80s. (some say that it was better than SNL) but let's stay polite and not compare...
From the YouTube video description: "SCTV dance show host Mel Slirrup introduces that infamous punk group, The Queen Haters! Starring Eugene Levy, Martin Short, John Candy, Joe Flaherty, and Andrea Martin."

That's a really great Queen+Adam Lambert video. But, that song is "I Was Born to Love You".
This is "Born This Way".

Yes i am aware of that, i used Lady Gagas lyric as a quote to suggest being you and being proud of who you are, both Adam Lambert and Lady GaGa are the epitome of that lyric/quote, as they are always their true selves and have no intent to change.
My favourite quote supposedly attributed to Dr Seuss among others is in the same vein, “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who MIND don’t MATTER, and those who MATTER don’t MIND“

Absolutely love Nightwish!
Aside from their own amazing compositions, they did the best ever version of Walking In The Air;
Tarja has done pretty well in her solo career too, and has released a few christmas albums, the best of which IMO is 2017's From Spirits And Ghosts (Score For A Dark Christmas). Here's just one example from that one, complete with a suitably creepy video;
When I was very young I loved this song.

Right on Sunday, I was tidying up parts of my old music collection and I heard this song "San Francisco" again, which you could have heard in Germany through the whole 1970s, so I loved this song, too, although I was a baby in the 1960s.
But I would like to make an experiment with you because I also heard on Sunday again a German song, which was the greatest commercial success of this female German singer "Anne Haigis" in 1987. She was in her whole life a kind of a "rebel" with rather "German Jazz" or "Protest Songs", so she never really became a big commercial star, but her voice and her songs are received until today as "simply great" in the "relevant target groups". I think, with this song, she was several times on German TV and in my opinions, she was never so good before or later as in those days.
For your better understanding of her "being a rebel also in this successful song", I translate the text below into English and I would like to hear of you, what you feel about this voice and this song.
Thank you very much in advance!

The (high society) scenery meets in this store / place
with kisses and despite intrigues,
everyone here loves each other from the front
(When you came,) Even the local stars
didn't impress you the slightest bit
Your mockery was well aimed -
as a direct hit in my ear
You look too sharp
for these slightly too strict glasses
you laugh too fresh for
this exhausted night
and when you left
I felt the full force of silence
though you had made no stirring wind
around you.
For you gave me -

I went into full reception
we could reach each other
for a blink of an eye.

Come and meet me somewhere

In recent years, she also made some songs in English together with some colleagues. This is one of them and she is the singer on the left side:

Checking my old music collection, I stumbled over remarks which I wrote about 30 years ago about the strange "fate" which some songs seem to have in history.
For example, Christopher Cross was once famous for "Sailing" and many other songs, but what surprised me is that this following song was in 1994 in the lists of the 50 most played songs only in Germany and in Japan, nowhere else, and I wondered why only people in these two countries seemed to have loved this song and I found no really convincing explanations:
