Singing about Biblical stuff was a little bit trendy in those days.

Not Christmas, I think of it more as an Easter song.[/QUOTE]
Thats very interesting.
Some of the lyrics say "followed a star,took them to Bethlehem.Born was the leaderf of man.etc" [/QUOTE]
That's indeed a very interesting thought, thank you!
When listening to Brian's guitar solo in the middle of the song, the sharp, loud and somehow 'painful' and threatening sounds remind me of Christ's crucifixion, so maybe the song is even more related to Easter than Christmas...

I think the song should be removed from all reissues of 'Queen 1'. It's just not valid in todays current climate and could offend muslims.
That's pretty funny in the last post! With that said...I'm not joking. I don't think you all realize the time that when Queen came out people were so anti-certain things and would do the most offensive things possible so, yeah. The song IS about oral sex concerning this guy who gets a bunch of guys. I'm not joking for crying out loud. It's one of the most shocking songs I've ever heard PERIOD!
