Question about "Body Language" Lyrics....

I've been listening to the Hot Space album alot here lately and I've always been curious about a certain set of lyrics to the song "Body Language". The part right after Freddie sings "You got the cutest ass I've ever seen".....he say's "knock me down for a SIX anytime".......What in the hell does that mean? If anybody knows I sure would like to find out....Thanks

Freddie was familiar and (I believe) participated in the grand 'Old Empire' sport of Cricket. Therefore, it is a Cricketing term.

From 'Wikipedia':
The scoring of a ...six by a good aggressive shot displays a certain amount of mastery by the batsman over the bowler, and is usually greeted by applause from the spectators.

Another cricketing term would be: 'Bowled over'
'Astonish, surprise greatly, overwhelm, as in I was simply bowled over by their wonderful performance'.

And just for good measure - how about adding a boxing metaphor also: 'Knocked out'
'To be stunned...'

General translation:
Your ass is so astonshingly overwhelming cute - it literally stuns me to look at it.

That sure was quick...Thanks my brother...I don't think anybody else will probably go as in depth as that...lol..but thanks

Unless Freddie was thinking of a six pack of beer...

or SIX inches of something ?

oh snap! XD

During that time, "six" was a term for sex..ie Gay sex

Ah - I see what they did there!
Clever folk in the 80's - changing an "e" for an "i", and you could talk about six in polite company, and no one would be any the wiser! Amazing!
Im fond of a bit of six myself you know, in fact, Im having some six right now.

See how clever it is! :)

yeah well if it was just mean't as sex I think they could have gotten away with that in 1982, besides let's say it did mean sex and they was just replacing the E with the I....Then why wouldn't the lyric be "knock me down for SOME six anytime" ?? The lyric is "knock me down for A six anytime"......wouldn't sound right to say "knock me down for a sex anytime"....lol

"Six" is actually gay-slang for having a whole lower part of the arm (from the elbow down) inserted into your rectum without any lubricant so you'll get very small wounds in your anus which then will allow the AIDS to infect. Really!

Does Freddie say you have the cutest eyes I ever seen? Im sure its eyes, alltough the first thought that comes to mind is ass, but i dont think its ass he sings.

I thought that was 'fisting'?

"Knock me down for a fisting anytime" doesn't sound as catchy as "Knock me down for a six anytime" does it? A master with words, that Freddie Mercury.

What a sick fuck....
