If you were offered the choice of HAVING SEX . . . and listening to QUEEN'S "Bohemian Rhapsody" . . . you'd put your iPod down, right?  Well, according to a new U.K. survey, you might regret that decision.

--2,000 "music fans" were polled, and more than 40% of them . . . or two in five . . . claimed listening to music is "more arousing" than intercourse.  (???)

--The music psychologist who conducted the survey says, quote, "From neuro-scientific research we know that music can activate the same pleasure centers of the brain that also respond to much less abstract rewards such as food, drugs or sex."

--So, what kind of music are we talking about here?  Well, Queen songs for one.  Respondents were asked to choose songs they considered better than sex and "Bohemian Rhapsody" topped the list.  Three other Queen jams made the Top 20.

--Here are the Top 20 songs that the respondents considered "better than sex":

1.)  "Bohemian Rhapsody",  Queen

2.)  "Sex on Fire",  Kings of Leon
