| Queen – Killer Queen Lyrics | 20 years ago |

AWESOME SONG. definately about a high classed prostitute. a transexual I think "Then again incidentally, if you're that way inclined" in the 70's "that way inclined" ment gay. Still does except for the uber politically correct. Have you ever seen the SNL skit with Christopher Walkin and the short brown haired guy dressed as a transexual stripper named "MANGO" yeah.. this song to me is about a MANGO like person. Someone said it might be about a friend he had for a long time that lived with him and served him tea? all the way till he died? If i was rich and gay and famous i would have someone like MANGO serve me tea.. come to think of it, I might even if I wasn't gay. incidentally, I just got a cat this weekend.. I think I'll name it Mango... |

| Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody Lyrics | 20 years ago |

O.k. I just found this sight. I was looking around on the internet about the Bohemian Rhapsody/AIDS theory because my friend told me that it actually wasn't about that at all. and I definately agree, it could -NOT- be about AIDS. I like Queen, I consider myself a fan. But I like alot of groups. Just because a person doesn't take the time to read up about everything they like doesnt mean they like the music any less. They just don't sound early 70's to me, So i assumed they were late 70's early 80's. Anyway, having been disillusioned about that here is my take on it. I agree it's about a trial/exicution/murder song. The big question is "why"? I think Freddy wanted to show the world that just because they made rock music didn't mean they had no talent. Which, at the time, alot of the older generation thought. So he comes up with this insanely awesome song that could be in an Opera, complete with story and all. (the very dramatic mid song guitar intro helped to formulate my opinion) They had to edit the song several times for length, they finally got it down to what? 6 minutes or something? and simply refused to cut it anymore. (Radio stations didn't want to play a song that long) So, in the end Queen is left with a song thats been cut and recut for suitable length that by the time they are done it is pretty much about nothing. Or atleast, whatever story they were telling was sacrificed to make a great sounding song. The irony is, that it -is- haunting in regards to his later battle with AIDS.. But the parallels are just one of those crazy wierd coincidences. |
