[i][b]Sorry I'll turn this post into a general topic about Non hit Queen songs that I really like and that I'd like to share some opinions with you. [/b][/i]

I was listening and this is a great song by roger. Brian's riff it's exellent to me. And the lyrics really put you in that tired wasted feeling that Roger may want to express with this song.
Anybody knows the story behind the lyrics? Or any information?
Huh only football gives us thrills
Rock and roll just pays the bills.
Plus I found rare that there's a kind of complilation of every song at the end, what does that mean?
What's your opinion about the song?

It means they were one song short of an album, and they had a half-finished bit by Roger that they made into a "clip show."
Not my favorite song by any means.

Great song! the guitar rif on one part, reminds me of the good old time playing doom 1, anyone who ever played a lot this game, just listen to the song and you will know what im talking about... xD

A lot of people here in QZ hate this song. I think is OK. The guitar riffs are great but the lyrics are wek. Anyway, I think the clip with all the songs from the album is embarrasing, definitely a bad idea.

Yeah, I like the song as well. But I think Roger plays the guitar here.
The clip collage near the end is a stupid idea, and I think that's why many people don't like this song.

What most of the people who hate the end of the song with that colage didn't notice is that that mix at the end follows the depressed or whiny lyrics.
The song basically tells about a man who's at some point depressed and confused:
If you're feelin' tired and lonely
Uninspired and lonely
If you're thinkin' how the days seem long
All you're given
Is what you've been given
A thousand times before...
and then at the end, the collage it's the same whiny and down feeling lyric but using the album's song, which I think it was a good idea but not great excecuted
Oh no matter
Fool got no business hanging round and tellin' lies
Bicycle races are coming your way
If you can't beat 'em join them
Fun it
Oh you're gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
No more no more no more
Of that jazz...
I wonder myself what was that "Jazz" that was bugging Roger that much..

The first time I heard that part I though the disk had been scratched or something. Not a clever idea indeed. Although “Fun It” is worse v

I actually quite like More Of That Jazz, same as other songs from Roger that don't use that many chords (at least, it sounds that way), Loser In The End & Fight From The Inside.
The end section with all the parts from the other songs is a bit weird, but it doesn't really bother me.
Oh, and Fun It is the worst song.

Woah, I really find this one and Fun it a great songs. To me the one that I enjoy the most about him. Obviously not the best lyrically but really enjoyable.
Fun It it's catchy, and I love the lyrics.

[/b]First of all, I'd like to ask you guys if you have any clue how Brian did the meaow cat-sound with a guitar. It's just amazing. And his performance in this song is everything to me. Other than that I'd find the song weak, except from some extracts where Freddie pretty much nails it with the lyrics. But the music base it's a little common to me, especially coming from Freddie. It reminds me a little about his Mr Bad Guy songs, some of those seemed pretty much like average songs, they're missing something.
But to me, as I said, Brian makes the song with the cat sounds and the solo. Pretty strong performance. Probably it's what I like the most about the song.
If you read the lyrics they're pretty simple ones. There's no hidden messenge or something like the early Freddie stuff. Just him loving his cat. And that is another thing that came to my attention. I think that this song can pretty much sum up Freddie's life at that time. He became a very simple person, he left his flamboyance behind and did the things he really loved back then. He didn't care to make a song about his beloved cat.
I'd like to read some of your comments about this song.
Cheers
