4	* 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 "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.
5	* "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.
6	* If you list the Queen album tracks in chronological release order, '39 is the 39th.
7	* ''Queen II'' and ''Music/{{A Day at the Races\|Album}}'' are sequenced by songwriters: in the days of vinyl records, ''Queen II'' had a white side chiefly written by Brian May (one song by Roger Taylor) and a black side completely written by Music/FreddieMercury; ''A Day at the Races'' alternates songwriters: May-Mercury-May-Mercury-Deacon on side A, and Mercury-May-Mercury-Taylor-May on side B.
8	* Music/FreddieMercury 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...').

11	* This depends entirely on how much you read into the line about being left alone with Fanny the naughty nanny of Music/{{Queen}}'s "Fat Bottomed Girls", but if read a certain way it becomes a statement that Fanny was in fact ''a child sexual abuser''.
12	** Or that she was fooling around/having sex with people while she was supposed to be working and the kid found out.
13	** Or that she was hired to take care of a younger sibling, and the older one was fooling around with her.
14	** Less horrifyingly, the nanny merely influenced the narrator's taste in women at an early age.
15	* The guitarist for Queen, Music/BrianMay, 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?
16	** What, you didn't get that on first hearing?
17	* It's speculated that "I'm Going Slightly Mad" from ''Innuendo'' is about Freddie's AIDS-aggravated dementia. BlackHumour, perhaps, but chilling in retrospect.
18	* The song "Good Company" by Brian May is essentially about a man who neglects all his relationships and is now old, living alone, and essentially talking to himself. Fridge depression?
19	* Great King Rat died when he was 44; Freddie died when he was 45.
20	* "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 a highly gifted 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.
