Bite the dust, hey!

Any way the wind blows

You are mine, I possess you
Belong to you forever

Take me to the future of your world.

Just like Marie Antoinette

Just think about it

I am confused! If she is his love and he is jealous of her then is he in love with himself and jealous of his girlfriend?

I swear i've only heard the song once but after hearing this part of the song once i've never (and never plan to) hear this song again !!!

There's a good deal of repetition in this song. Everything is said, like, 50 times.

You may have heard the expression that just the right thing happened at just the right time.The thought occurs to me that the 90s was such a sterile,screwed up decade that such a happy coincidence,referred to as serendipity,would have very rarely occurred during it.There just didn't seem to be ANYTHING right for the 90s,let alone for it to happen at the requisite moment.The problem was this.The 90s bore witness to every bit of crap imaginable which was aimed seemingly to make life a drag,and anyone who disagrees with that observation must have been shut inside some sort of vacuum back then.The negative aspect of the 90s would find great voice in the songs which emerged throughout it,some of them combining depression and nonsense.Living on my own is a solid gold example of that.The biggest shame of it is that here was one of those rare numbers which,for a change,dealt with what happens in the real world,not the bright blue fantasy land of everyone's got a love,or a part time love on the go-[Dont get me started on that part time love bit.I've already written a blood spattered commentary on the song Part time love.If ever a number deserved to be shot to rags it's that.It's not just songs which peddle garbage masquerading as a reflection of real life.We're told that soap operas reflect real life.The truth is that these programmes are no more a mirror on people's everyday lives than Tom and Jerry,and anyone who thinks otherwise just isn't living this side of cloud cuckoo land.]Guys,I live firmly in the real world,and if the real world has taught me anything it's that love just dont come knocking that often,and that's putting it mildly perhaps.Certainly not the happy ever after type so beloved of the writers of crap,including certain songs.Unfortunately the writer of Living on my own has turned a stark fact of REAL LIFE-remember that?-into the outpourings of some kind of insane misanthrope.Listen to this-Sometimes I feel I'm gonna break down and cry.Nowhere to go.Nothing to do with my time.I go crazy.Oh so crazy.Nobody gives me no warning.My head is always in the clouds in a dreamworld.Always walking too fast.Everything's coming down on me.Dont have no time for no monkey business.Got to be some good times ahead.]Now,does all that sound like someone in their right mind?He aint got no time for no monkey business.One wonders how this fool's got no time for ANY kind of business,since he's stated that he's got NOTHING to do with that precious time of his,and NOWHERE to go.Also,the term monkey business as used here seems strange in itself,as it usually denotes some kind of idiotic activity.So it would go without saying that a depressed person wouldn't be interested in such.Ofcourse we're not dealing with a stable individual here so we'll let that pass.What exactly does this madman mean by feeling noone gives him no warning?No warning about what?Sounds to me as though everyone would need to tiptoe around him like they're walking on eggshells or something.The real classics here ofcourse are the I go oh so crazy,with my head in the clouds of Dreamland bit.Like,is it any wonder that he lives alone?He hopes for some good times ahead.It sounds more to me like the only thing lying ahead for this dude is the hatch.

Isn't it strange what time can do to a seemingly hot song from the past.Ergo reduce it to the silliest sounding thing you ever heard.Guys,check out the above lyrics.Today all that talk about being cool and hip and relaxing-I mean,like,WHAT?Listening to eyewash like that, today's generation might be forgiven for thinking that practically every so-called cool dude back then had been smoking themselves stupid, and we aint talking the regular weed.The odd specimen on view here in this number begins by saying that he cant handle love and isn't ready for it,but a line or so later says that he's got a really great girlfriend,who drives him crazy.Crazy is the operative word here for the guy.He just blathers on and on in a wierd soliloquy about being cool and in love,and afraid of love and generally plain nuts.Heaven help the wit of the so-called enlightened younger generation around the time madness like that was being considered cool.Now there's a word that's never really sat well with me.Just where did that singular piece of terminology originate,and just what did the person who first coined it actually mean?I've heard every explanation under the sun.It means knowing the difference between right and wrong-It means not really caring much about anything-It means being a big hit with the girls-It means-Get the picture?I think I'll stick with it's most intelligable meaning-A pleasant sensation of mild coldness.Guys,a number like that under discussion is perhaps best summed up by it's first word-CRAZY.

If they one knew a thing about it it wouldn't be a scandal, now would it? I feel sorry for Brian May, the divorce had a serious impact on his writing skills, apparently.

'Seen' doesn't rhyme with 'few'. To me, the lyric should have been 'the sweetest sight ever *viewed*'; this would have been a much closer rhyme while leaving the meaning intact.

This is more to make a point than anything, this is rock, not rap, so every line doesn't have to rhyme. In this song 'sea' goes with 'tree' and yes, 'true' does rhyme with 'you' The lyrics are meant to rhyme off and on.

Song about the former manager who stole the group's money and ran away.. well, think he deserves all this. Wish i could see his face when he first heard the song...

Wow... the whole song is a great rant of pure, bad blood. Classic

It wasn't at the time, but freddy mercury died of aids

because drugs are bad and its queen and they rule

Freddie Mercury was Bisexual, work it out yourself

I wouldn't expect such a dirty song from the quiet bassist John Deacon, but the evidence is overwhelming: from the suggestive pause after 'fill me up,' to the underlying image of a 'gun' with 'only one bullet' by which Freddie seems very eager to be 'shot.'

Mott the Hoople, a 1970s British rock and roll and glam rock band

Jimi Hendrix and Captain Cook
Freddie was a great fan of Jimi Hendrix.

Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce

Pepsi, McDonald's

well, obviously.

That's a mighty big claim!

OK Freddie was a good singer and brilliant performer but he evidently was not immortal. Despite the band name he was no heir to a throne, let alone the universe. While he has few rivals/equals many would argue that Jagger and Bowie gave as good a musical performance. Furthermore initially he says we were born to be kings, then he is saying that they are not equal. Finally if you want to hear someone boast more than this check out Chesney Hawks and his 'one and only' hit.

This poor boy's mom just shot a man! What's not scary about that!?

"Killer Queen" was the break through U.S. hit for the British group, Queen. "Killer Queen" was the group's first top ten hit in the U.S., in 1975, going all the way to #2 on the charts (their follow-up, "Bohemian Rhapsody" would also reach #2). What made it so popular was the amazing vocal ability of lead singer, the late great Freddie Mercury, who was able to sing the lyrics (especially the 4th and 5th verse above fairly quickly with hardly a breath in between the words). In those two verses are shoutouts to the country of China and the city of Paris, France (Naturally). Also in the fourth verse their is a made up by Freddie Mercury phrase of "geisha minah" (which is play on the words of a place named, Asia Minor, as the continent of Asia used to be called).

Mentions the Sahara desert, the world's largest desert, located in north Africa.

Beelzebub, they pronounce it "Bee-al-zee-boob" when often people pronounce it "Bee-al-ze-bub" or "Beelzebub", exactly how it looks.

"Bismillah" is Arabic, it roughly means "In the Name of God", and is at the beginning of almost every chapter of the Koran/Q'uran (Holy book of Islam). Some pious Muslims will mention "Bismillah" before doing anything, and several constitutions of some Muslim countries begin with this word.

The refrain is sung in Japanese, where Queen had a popular following in Japan. And this song is dedicated for the Queen fans in Japan.

It almost seems the song is about an artist since they were called 'Bohemians'. But even with a hard-rock moment, a mock-opera feel, and great symphonic work, it seems that even this Bohemian is confused.

Jaws, Star Wars

Say you're talking to a suicidal friend/acquaintance, trying to talk them out of it, and this song plays. I don't think "nobody cares" is what they'd want to hear...
