When I hear this song I always wonder why Brian May sang it. I know he wrote it and often sang his own songs but Freddie also sang some written by him (eg. Teo Torriate or Dear Friends) Freddie's voice is just so superior to May's. This juxtaposition is made patently obvious by the fact that In The Lap of the Gods...Revisited comes next and we hear the true wonder that was Freddie's singing |

What an ignorant comment. The song is clearly ironic and is, I think, one of immense pathos. It is not a 'tribute' to prostitution but makes it seem just as seedy as it really is. For example, the lady is not 'getting laid' but 'being laid', love is 'just a job'. And look at the descriptions of the sailors who use her ("many have used her...") - "you won't need a gutter to sleep in". |
