| Elton John – The Last Song Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
BERNIE TAUPIN!!! wrote the lyrics. How hard is it to know that? Nobody here seems to own any albums by the artists they listen to, or don't know how to read linear notes.
The song is however about a young man re-uniting with his father who had disowned him due to homosexuality years before. They re-unite on his death-bed, when the son is dying of AIDS.
Brilliant song. |

BRIAN MAY wrote this song. It's a cheeky number, which may or may not be about his personal experiences. It's rather obvious and self-explanatory. |

| Queen – Crazy Little Thing Called Love Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
It wasn't written in a bath or a hottub. However the inspiration came whilst visiting a SPA in Germany. And it surely read "he drives me crazy" not she, when FM originally penned it.
Call me crazy, but us heterofreaks don't want to hear about manlove...
This song was written in 1979, TWO YEARS AFTER
Elvis had died. So get your facts straight, please...
Cover-my-arse. |

| Queen – Another One Bites The Dust Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
This song and its baseline is heavily copied from Chic's "Goodtimes" which was a big hit a few years earlier.
The original lyrics by JOHN DEACON were about cowboys, biting the dust is a wild-west term. John said himself he was too embarrased to show the original demo to the band members, so he re-wrote it and this is what they got. Everyone liked it immediately. |

Brian May wrote it and sang it. How about using GOOGLE? or buying the frigging ORIGINAL ALBUM from a recordstore? Instead of jus wondering who wrote it... |

| Freddie Mercury – Made In Heaven Lyrics

This song was written in 1985 by Freddie for his solo album Mr. Bad Guy. During that time "Heaven" was the club Freddie frequented. It has very little to do with afterlife or death. |

Brian May has unraveled the song many times before. The song is about his experiences during their first visit to the US when they were supporting Mott The Hoople. He apparently met a girl named "Peaches" at a club called Dungeon. You can find the story on Brian May's website (if it's still online) |

| Eagles – Certain Kind Of Fool Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
In "Desperado" they mix the reference of the outlaw with the musicians being the modern day outlaws.
This song is about how the "guy" became an outlaw (or how he became a guitar player). Written by Meisner. The interpretation was mentioned by Glenn Frey during the BBC 73 concert. |

| Eagles – Bitter Creek Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
COntinues the Doolin-Dalton saga, this Bernie Leadon song is clearly based on a fellow outlaw
George "Bitter Creek" Newcomb. Who was a member of the WILDBUNCH along with Bill Doolin and Will Dalton and other gunslingers. |

| Eagles – Doolin-Dalton Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
It's based on the Doolin-Dalton gang. Bill Doolin and Will Dalton were notorious outlaws. When Doolin hooked up with the Dalton brothers, they were a major threath. They did rob banks in Coffeyville, where as I recall a few of the Dalton brothers got killed in the process.
It's a great story (the entire Desperado album) if you dig deep into it and the best Eagles album (That's Eagles, not THE EAGLES you sillybuns)

The inspiration was apparently Indians (native_Americans for the PC-people) and F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife Zelda Fitzgerald were somehow also behind the inspiration. |

Bernie Leadon's tribute to Gram Parsons, one of the originators of Country-Rock. Most beautiful song "Eagles" (and that's Eagles not THE EAGLES you dimwits) ever made. |

It's a song about "not working 9 to 5" (quote from Bernie Leadon)
And what the hell is THE EAGLES? The band is called Eagles, you numbnuts. |

| Elton John – Philadelphia Freedom Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
Once again, BERNIE TAUPIN wrote the frigging lyrics. Get that through your thick minds.
It was written by request for Billie Jean King's tennis team which was called "Philadelphia Freedom"
Sure Taupin made a few tongue-in-cheeks with it by putting in lines like "Philadelphia Freedom took me knee-high to a man" but besides that there isn't any deeper meaning to the song.
It's just a funky fabulous song. |

It's so frigging obvious with its lines like "I'm not a present for your friends to open" etc. Too bloody obvious and self-explanatory to even dig deeper into this. :-) Great tune. |

| Elton John – Daniel Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
Bernie Taupin read an article about a Vietnam veteran who had gone been very disappointed at life back home in USA after the war and founded new life in Spain. The song simply is a storyteller told through the eyes of Daniel's brother about Daniel leaving to Spain. It's based on a true-story.
The original lyrics by Taupin had one more verse to them, which explained what the song was about basicly, but Elton figured it wouldn't fit in his melody scheme's and it was never recorded. |

| Elton John – Bennie And The Jets Lyrics

|
|
Taupin explained that it was about the clash between the youth who got into GLAM with the arrival of Ziggy Stardust etc. and their parents who had little understanding for them. Bennie And The Jets portrays a glamrock act with its androgyneous lead singer etc. It's definitely a fun song. |

| Queen – Body Language Lyrics

Apparently the original lyrics were so homoerotic that the band members insisted on FM changing them.
Sixing is slang for anal sex btw. Not a cricket term. |
