* Although it was almost certainly by virtue of [[OneHeadTaller each member's height]], the band's famous "diamond head formation" coincidentally mirrors the positions of the [[WesternZodiac zodiac symbols]] in the [[IconicLogo "Queen Crest"]]. The crab (Brian) is situated at the top, the lions (John and Roger) on either side, and the fairies (Freddie) sit at front and bottom.

* "All Dead All Dead" was written by Music/BrianMay about the death of his cat when he was a child, which he reportedly never quite got over. The bond between a kid and his pet is often extremely close, but more so in the case of an only child living in 1950's London and having very few friends. Experiences like that one may have influenced his animal activism as an adult.

* Freddie Mercury came up with the initial idea of "Was It All Worth It", and then the rest of the band completed the lyrics with him. It makes sense: they begin in singular ('what is there left for ME to do in this life?...') and then they turn plural ('we bought a drum kit...').

* The guitarist for Queen, Brian May, wrote the song '39. In a DVD commentary, he mentioned that it's based on the idea that the faster you go, the more time slows down. So the astronauts came back to Earth after a year in their time to find a century has passed planet-side. Thus, the line "Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me." becomes fridge... sorrow?

* "Bohemian Rhapsody" has foreign words like "Bismillah!" and "Scaramouche" doing the Fandango. Yet, if Beelzebub was sending demons after me, I'd be using Middle Eastern prayers too.



* This depends entirely on how much you read into the line about being left alone with Fanny the naughty nanny of {{Queen}}'s "Fat Bottomed Girls", but if read a certain way it becomes a statement that Fanny was in fact ''a child sexual abuser''.
