    Bohemian Rhapsody - It's meaning?

    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?

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

    Sick

    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 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

    Queen kicks tremendous amounts of ass.
    Were you offended by "Fat-Bottomed Girls" or something?

    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.

    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.

    That was intentional, and it's wonderful.

    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.
