A neurological study was done observing the brain response in people listening to this, and because the pleasure reaction was so extreme, it was considered the happiest song ever written. Some might dispute this now with the advent of other songs, but it's not hard to believe it could be that awesome. Thanks for your fantastic take on this!

Never attempt to put Queen in a category. The next song you hear from them will make your last guess totally wrong. There is no box they fit in. And NO this song is not about drugs. (not that at some points in their career they did not indulge) but they never wrote a song about it! You will never know the real meaning of a Queen song. In MANY interviews both Frieddie and Brian have said they don't tell (or do videos) about what their songs about. It is up to the listener to decide whatever they feel.

Freddie loved "having a good time", but he was not drug addicted and as he said in an interview "No one can stop me, honey." He has lived his rock'n roll lifestyle, but on the other side he was a funny, generous, caring, loving, kind and charming guy. Queen is the most versatile rock band, they wrote their own stuff in several genres (cca. 15) from rock to jazz, to pop, etc. about 200 songs.

Couple of corrections/additions from your live stream last night: Roger did start out studying to be a dentist but graduated with a degree in Biology. Freddie was engaged to Mary Austin and she was his only true friend his whole life. Freddie had 4 extra molars & that’s why he didn’t want to fix his teeth as he was sure it would change the structure of his palate. Queen was definitely a rock band, but they played songs from all different genres. All 4 members wrote #1 hits, all could play multiple instruments, and all are in the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

The lead guitarist is an English musician and astrophysicist who achieved fame as lead guitarist of the rock band Queen. May was a co-founder of Queen with lead singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor. His songwriting contributions helped Queen become one of the most successful bands in rock history. At Hampton Grammar School, he attained ten GCE Ordinary Levels and three GCE Advanced Levels in Physics, Mathematics, and Applied Mathematics.[21] He studied Mathematics and Physics at Imperial College London, graduating with a BSc degree in Physics in 1968 with honours.[22] Following his graduation, May received a personal invitation from Sir Bernard Lovell to work at the Jodrell Bank Observatory while continuing to prepare his doctorate. He declined, choosing instead to remain at Imperial College to avoid breaking from Smile, the London-based band he was in at the time.[23] In 2007, May was awarded a PhD degree in astrophysics from Imperial College London for work started in 1971 and completed in 2007.

The empowering song shows Freddie feeling unstoppable: "floating around in ecstasy," "like a tiger defying the laws of gravity," and "traveling at the speed of light." It shows how Freddie threw caution to the wind, putting himself in danger: "I am a satellite, I'm out of control" and "I am a sex machine ready to reload". After Freddie died of AIDS-related causes in 1991, Brian May told Mojo that he struggled with the lyrics, as it was about a difficult time in Freddie's life, when he was "taking lots of drugs and having sex with lots of men." Brian May later said: "I thought it was a lot of fun, but I did have an undercurrent feeling of, 'aren't we talking about danger here,' because we were worried about Freddie at this point. *Quoted from Smooth Radio

I love the sincerity of your reactions. You guys are really considering and weighing the craft and the art, and I respect that. However, in this case, I am not sure I agree with the idea that it is a song about drugs. Seems to me that it is about the way Freddy Mercury lived in general. He was like a comet, on fire and burning through the sky and not about to be stopped or slowed down for anyone. His loss was and is a tragedy, of course, but it is almost like he was predicting it with the brightness of his genius. He is dearly missed.

Yeah, it's almost certainly not about drugs. I always imagined it's all about being high on life, being filled with so much optimistic energy that nothing can bring you down.

You need to check out "Dragon Attack" by Queen. It's never covered but I think it's one of their best songs.

I was actually privileged to have seen Queen live in 1983. Freddie came out with a sceptre and a crown and a purple cloak on. He threw roses out to the audience. Then they proceeded to put on one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

guys don't get so hung up on the genre. there are broad genres (rock, rap, hip hop,, blues, country, etc) but good music is just good music. and Queen is almost their own genre, like Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin. love your reactions!

You are exactly right: Queen is so different. They've ALWAYS been different, and that's why it's not possible to get bored with them. One of my very favorite bands from back in the day (along with The Beatles, The Eagles, Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), etc. etc. This is an interesting song -- like the story of Freddie's life. He WAS a supersonic Mr. Fahrenheit. He lived life to the fullest, and burnt out too soon.

Why do u always think this "ISNT ROCK AND ROLL?"... Not to be rude, but that's kinda an ignorant statement! I feel like you think Rock and Roll has to always be hard guitars and guitar solos and definitely no piano??!! What? Queen is MOST DEFINITELY ROCK AND ROLL! the Beatles, piano and all, were considered ,Rock and Roll! Rock and roll has very many incarnations and sounds! It offers something for everyone! Don't like electric guitars?, seek out an acoustic guitar led Band (America, Bread, etc), Don't like that, seek out a piano driven Rock (Billy Joel,Elton John etc)... These are just.0001% of the rock offerings out there! But, pertaining to this video, as I said before QUEEN IS MOST DEFINITELY ROCK AND ROLL!!! It's an insult to think differently!
