Recently we asked the BuzzFeed Community for the wildest, craziest and most shocking facts they knew about musicians. Here are the juicy results.

1. Freddie Mercury's famous overbite was the result of him having four extra teeth in his upper jaw.

The extra teeth in Freddie's mouth pushed his front ones forward, giving him his signature overbite. But he never got them removed because he feared the surgery would affect his voice and vocal range.

After spending an afternoon watching reruns of The Golden Girls and drinking champagne, Diana supposedly insisted on accompanying Freddie Mercury and Kenny Everett to a bar in London. They obviously had to disguise her, so they ended up putting her in an army jacket, cap and sunglasses, which worked a treat.

Long story short, Dolly Parton decided to enter a drag queen lookalike competition without telling anyone her ~real identity~. She exaggerated her features (think bigger-than-usual hair, an exaggerated beauty mark and bold-ass makeup) but ended up getting the least applause from the crowd.

4. Mariah Carey's ex-husband, Tommy Mottola, supposedly swiped an audio sample she was planning to use for her next album. The sample then popped up in a Jennifer Lopez song which came out first.

While recording for Glitter, Mariah worked with Ja Rule on a song that sampled Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Firecracker". Now according to Irv Gotti, who was a record exec working for Mottola, he was then asked to replicate the sample for a remix of Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Real". The remix was released first, which resulted in Mariah being forced to switch samples at the last minute. WILD!!!
