Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...

"Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to..." could only be referred to as Mercury's hate letter toward Queen's ex-manager, Norman Sheffield, who is reputed to have mistreated the band and abused his role as their manager from 1972-1975. Though it never made a direct reference to him, upon listening to the song, Sheffield attempted to sue the band for defamation. During live performances, Mercury would usually re-dedicate the song to "a real mother fucker of a gentleman", although this line was bleeped out on the version that appeared on their Live Killers album in 1979, possibly to avoid further legal proceedings. Live Killers is a double vinyl and compact disc live album by English rock band Queen released on June 26, 1979. ...

As with 'Bohemian Rhapsody', most of the guitar parts on this song were initially played on piano by Mercury, to demonstrate to May how they needed to be played on guitar. As for the piano intro itself, it reportedly took Mercury many attempts to achieve the final result^{[citation needed]}.

Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon

"Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon" was another song by Mercury. He played piano and did all of the vocals. The lead vocal was sung in studio, produced through headphones elsewhere in the studio in a tin bucket. A microphone picked up the sound from the bucket, which gives it a hollow "megaphone" sound. A bicycle bell can be heard ringing after the line "bicycling on every Wednsday evening," in about 00:25-26, possibally foreshadowing Mercury's future song, 'Bicycle Race', on their 'Jazz (album)' album in 1978. The guitar solo was played on the lead vocal track, due to Queen running out of tracks in the studio. For the sport, see Bicycle racing. ... Jazz is a 1978 album by English rock band Queen. ...

I'm in Love with My Car

"I'm in Love with My Car" is amongst Roger Taylor's most famous songs in the Queen catalogue. The song was initially taken as a joke by Brian May, who thought that Taylor was not serious when he heard a demo recording. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Taylor played the guitars in the original demo, but were later re-recorded by Brian May on his Red Special. All lead vocals were sung by Roger Taylor, showcasing his spectacular countertenor range. The revving sounds at the conclusion of the song were recorded by Taylor's then current car, an Alfa Romeo. The lyrics were inspired by one of the band's roadies, Johnathan Harris, whose Triumph TR4 was evidently the "love of his life". The song is dedicated to him, the album says: "Dedicated to Johnathan Harris, boy racer to the end". For the Australian film composer, see Brian May (composer). ... This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ... A countertenor is an adult male who sings in an alto, mezzo-soprano or (more rarely) soprano range, often through use of falsetto, or sometimes natural head voice. ... Alfa Romeo is an Italian automobile manufacturing company, founded as Darracq Italiana by Cavaliere Ugo Stella, an aristocrat from Milan in partnership with the French automobile firm of Alexandre Darracq. ... 1962 Triumph TR4 The Triumph TR4 was a sports car built in the United Kingdom by the Standard Triumph Motor Company and introduced in 1961. ...

When it came down to releasing the album's first single, Taylor was so fond of his song that he urged Mercury (author of the first single, 'Bohemian Rhapsody') to allow it to be the B-side and reportedly locked himself in a cupboard until Mercury agreed. This decision would later become the cause of much internal dilemma for the band, in that while it was only the B-side, it generated an equal amount of publishing royalties for Taylor as the main single did for Mercury.

The song was played live often during the '77-'81 period. Taylor sang it from the drums while Freddie Mercury played piano. Roger would recover the song for his concerts with The Cross and solo tours, where instead of drums he played rhythm guitar.

You're My Best Friend

Main article: You're My Best Friend

"You're My Best Friend" was John Deacon's first single, which he composed while he was learning to play piano. He plays electric piano on the recording and overdubbed two bass lines. The song was written for his wife, Veronica Tetzlaff, whom he is still married to today. Youre My Best Friend is a song penned by John Deacon and performed by Queen. ...

'39

Main article: '39

"'39" was Brian May's attempt to do "sci-fi skiffle." He sang the lead vocals and jokingly asked Deacon to play double bass. Some days later Deacon dropped by in the studio with the instrument and said he'd already learned how to play it. There are backing vocals by Mercury as well as very high and fairly low harmonies by Taylor, and some falsettos by Taylor. The B-side of "You're My Best Friend" and one of the band's most popular songs, "'39" relates the tale of a group of space explorers who embark on what is, from their perspective, a year-long voyage. Upon their return, however, they realize that a hundred years have passed, due to the time dilation effect in Einsteinian physics, and the loved ones they left behind are now all dead.^[2] (Because the "year of '39" resembles 1939, some have speculated that this is actually a song about the beginning of World War II; however this is not the case.) 39 is a song by English guitarist Brian May and first recorded by his band Queen for their album A Night at the Opera in 1975. ... For the Australian film composer, see Brian May (composer). ... Doghouse Skiffle Group Skiffle is a type of folk music with a jazz and blues influence, usually using homemade or improvised instruments such as the washboard, tea chest bass, kazoo, cigar-box fiddle, musical saw, comb and paper, and so forth, as well as more conventional instruments such as acoustic...

The melody of the song is very similar to a Bob Dylan's early song called "When The Ship Comes In". Due the differences of vocal performance and added new chorus the similarities are rarely mentioned though.

Following his performance of '39 at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, George Michael cited this song as his favourite Queen song, claiming he used to busk it on the London underground.

Sweet Lady

"Sweet Lady" is a heavy metal number written by May. Lyrically and musically, it's usually thought to precede 'Tie Your Mother Down' as a loud, riff-heavy expression of disdain for the author's romantic interest. However, 'Tie Your Mother Down' had already been written at the time. Tie Your Mother Down ( ) is a Queen song, written by guitarist Brian May, which features one of rock musics most recognizable guitar riffs. ...

Roger Taylor remembers it as the most difficult drumming part he ever recorded. As DTS tracks reveal, there are several off-pitch notes by Freddie Mercury on the lead vocal, something covered up by harmonies and overdubbing. DTS (also known as Digital Theater Systems), owned by DTS, Inc. ...

Seaside Rendezvous

"Seaside Rendezvous", written by Mercury, is probably best known for the "musical" bridge section which begins at around 0:51 into the song. The section is performed entirely by Mercury and Taylor using their voices alone. Mercury imitates woodwind instruments including a clarinet and Taylor mostly brass instruments, including tubas and trumpets, and even a kazoo. The tap dance segment is also "performed" by Mercury and Taylor on the mixing desk with thimbles on their fingers. Mercury plays both grand piano and jangle honky-tonk.

The Prophet's Song

"The Prophet's Song" was composed by May. On the show In the Studio with Redbeard, which spotlighted A Night at the Opera, May explained that he wrote the song after a dream he'd had while he was recovering from being ill while recording the Sheer Heart Attack album, and is the source of some of the lyrics. He spent several days putting it together, and it includes a vocal canon sung first by Mercury, then by Mercury, Taylor and May. The vocal, and later instrumental canon was produced by early tape delay devices. It is a heavy and dark number with a strong progressive rock influence. At over eight minutes in length, is also Queen's longest song (Not counting the untitled instrumental track on Made in Heaven). In the Studio with Redbeard is a North American radio program, produced and hosted by Dallas, Texas based rock and roll disc jockey Redbeard. ...

As detailed in by Brian May in a documentary about this album, the speed-up effect that happens in the middle of the guitar solo was achieved by starting a reel-to-reel player with the tape on it, as the original tape player was stopped.

Love of My Life

Main article: Love of My Life

"Love of My Life" is one of Mercury's most covered songs (there have been versions by many acts like Extreme featuring Brian May, Scorpions and Elaine Paige). Mercury played piano (including a classical solo) and did all of the vocals with startling multi-tracking precision. Brian May played harp (doing it chord by chord and pasting the takes to form the entire part), Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar (which he'd bought in Japan) and his usual Red Special.

"Love of My Life" was such a concert favourite that Mercury frequently stopped singing and allowed the audience to take over. It was especially well received during concerts in South America, and the band released the song as a single there.

Good Company

"Good Company" was written and sung by Brian May. All vocals are May, who also plays a banjolele (credited as a "genuine George Formby Ukulele") on the track. The instrument, a combination of a ukulele and banjo, was his father's. The banjolele (brand name; sometimes banjo ukulele or banjo uke) is a four-stringed musical instrument with a banjo-type body and a neck with sixteen frets (shorter than a banjo, but longer than a ukulele). ...

Bohemian Rhapsody

Main article: Bohemian Rhapsody

"Bohemian Rhapsody", written by Mercury, is composed entirely and solely by its author. All guitar, bass and drum parts, as well as the vocal arrangements, were thought up by Mercury on a daily basis and written down "in blocks" (using note names instead of sheets) on a phonebook. The other members recorded their respective instruments with no concept of how their tracks would be utilised in the final mix. The now phenomenally famous operatic section was originally intended to be only a short interlude of "Galileos" that connected the ballad and hard rock portions of the song.   is a song written by Freddie Mercury and originally recorded by the band Queen for their 1975 album A Night at the Opera. ...

During the recording, the song became affectionately known as "Fred's Thing" to the band, and the title only emerged during the final sessions.

Despite being twice as long as the average single in 1975, the song became immensely popular, topping charts worldwide (where it remained for an unprecedented nine weeks in the UK) and is now widely regarded as one of the most significant rock songs in history.

God Save the Queen

"God Save the Queen" – Brian May recorded the anthem in 1974 before their Sheer Heart Attack tour. He played a guide piano which was edited out later and added several layers of guitars. After the song was completed it was played as an outro at virtually every concert Queen played. When recording the track May played a rough version on piano for Roy Thomas Baker. He called his own skills on the piano sub-par at the time. He performed the song live from the top of Buckingham Palace for the Queen's golden jubilee in 2002.
