Lizzie, it's one of those words that sounds like another word but is spelled differently and means something different. An English teacher would come up with the right term; my brain is fried after 2 days of migraine.

"Cue" is to signal something.

"Queue" is group of people lined up for something (noun), or can be used as a verb, as in "queueing up for the show".

So it is, but it isn't. Isn't language fun?
