Ah - you came to the right place. The problem is, to understand the song you had to be a teenager in the seventies.

I'm interested to learn what the song Bohemian Rhapsody was about, does anyone have any indepth details about it?
I know a few things, (Bismillah, etc) , but I don't quite understand the full story.
Oh and who thinks Queen was the greatest band?![]()

Thanks Horse, I now understand the song. :|

In fact to understand the song you probably had to be lying with me and my friend Tim in front of the cabin of his father's speedboat singing it as we went full throttle down the river under a full moon in 1978.

It's a pile of over dramatized sh!te, performed by probally the most overrated band in history

A fun song to listen, though![]()

It's actually about giving somebody HIV, at least in part. Few people wish to admit it:
Mama, I just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
Much like We Are The Champions is about being gay:
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions

Still never actually 'came out' though did he?
and no, him being gay was never an issue, I just thought the tunes (yes, pretty much all of them) were f$%king sh1te
EDIT: all of them

Queen songs drive me up the wall. There's something about them that I find really irritating.

People who don't like Queen are ****ed in the head. Simple as that.![]()

BI-CYCLE! BIIII-CYCLE!!
I seem to replace it with 'I will kill' when I hear the song.
It's just really really utterly crap, yet everyone seems to love it. Maybe there's subliminal messages in it or something.

Yeah, sounds about right.

I knew a gay couple who would put Queen on really loud when they wanted people to go home after a dinner party.
Steve is still around but poor old Pixie got aids and died. Very sad - he was a wonderful cook.

Their attempts at rock opera and blatantly camp songs for sh*ts and giggles that turned into rock n' roll masterpieces.
God bless Queen and their brilliant sense of humour and lack of caring for what the lesser beings out there thought of them.![]()
