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. |
