I'm Going Slightly Mad

The song isn't a joke, FM suffered Aids induced dementia. He died shortly after Innuendo was released, and his Dementia was in full swing slightly prior to its release.

Hmmm, seems pretty clear to me.

The string of HIV/AIDS that Freddie had was the same as that of Kenny Everett - it made him loose his co-ordination and eventually started to drive him insane before killing him. THAT is what the song is about...

Queen are amazing.

I'm Going Slightly Mad is one of my favs. I have never seen the music video, though. This song reminds me of the insanity showcased in one of the Hannibal flicks, lol. Freddie Mercury's voice just seems so proper in this song, which makes me smile. He has an awesome voice.

Love the little 'oh dear!' bits!

this song makes me sad. freddie was well advanced in his illnes by the time he recorded this one, and in the video you can tell. poor ol' freddie. xx

yeah.... that's really sad... :/ the last video it's even sadder... :_( but this song is great!

Yeah. Unlike many people, there's only a few songs I'd try to link to Freddie's illness: This is one of them; this and "The Great Pretender." This makes it quite a sad song. At the same time though... it's quite humourous. Like Freddie's joking about himself. Takes a lot to do that.

Should probably cancel what I said about The Great Pretender. Just checked it and it looks like it was a cover...

his voice rocks!! i can agree with that.. the music video is insane, i love it!! if freddie was slightly mad, then at least there's nothing wrong with that! who wants to be normal and like everybody else anyway??=)

Written by Freddie and his friend Peter Straker, who threw one liners at each other at Garden Lodge whilst fooling around. Deeper meanings? get a life...
