I love the song. Once I thought it was a good idea even! So I recorded a song about my two cats, and I sent them to all my family and friends and everyone thought the song was okay for a song about cats, except my Mom. She told me she thought it was immature and fag like. Har har.
But I enjoy the song, Delilah. I play it more than probably four or five other songs on Innuendo.

OOOOOH!! It's funny because it makes reference to Freddie's promiscuous sex life, due to which he got AIDS, died and that -effectively- ended Queen.
Nice touch... :)

[b]Delilah:
[/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 [/QUOTE]
IMO one of the worst songs they ever did. I'm sorry but it's really crap. This and All God's People really let down Innuendo a lot. Thank god for the forward button on CD players because both those songs are pretty embarrassing.

Been listening to the Innuendo album this morning while driving to work ... to me, the most embarrasing song is I Can´t Live With You, wich really sounds like a demo .... very weak sound ! what do you think ?
Compared to the rest of the album, I can´t understand why the guys thought this song, as the way it was "finished", was ok to be included. When you listen to the "Rocks retake" (fantastic, imo) the comparison is even more painful.

Brian thought it was the best mix, as he kept trying to mix it but he thought it got worse and worse.... until they did a rocks-retake on it for the Queen Rocks album!

Yep, hehe. But it's fun to read different opinions.
I just enjoy Delilah at some point. I wouldn't say it's a good song musically like BH or any other- I just enjoy it because of me.

I have no problem with delilah, it's a weaker song, but I enjoy it more than some others. Maybe because I'm an animal lover.

yea, I can't live with you is not a great song IMO. Musically sounds weak, the vocals sound strained and the lryics were average. Not my cup of tea. All gods people on the other hand has all the queen trademarks, the middle section is great, guitar work is solid., vocals are very strong, though the lryics are shaky, it's still a good song. Headlong is ok, but nothing special. Same for the hitman. Innuendo is a great album, but overall doesn't match up well with the first 6 classics.

[b]My baby does me[/b]:
A song I really like, very peaceful and I love that spin at the end with the lyrics.
[i]Does me good[/i]
Then she hurts me so
She winds me up and then lets me go
Turns me on and then tells me no
Shes just a pussy cat
My baby loves me
My baby loves me
My baby cuffs me
One day she tells me that she cares
Another day she tells me she dont love me
[i]She really really does me[/i]
Basically we find out why the girls "does" him so much at the end. It's good.
The bass beating it's great. It sounds really like a basic song. Not much elaborated but it's very catchy. Nobody really likes this song, but I dunno why. It's obviously not the best musically but at least enjoyable. And I think the lyrics are quite accurate. Freddie voices sounds perfect for it. You can tell the improvement of his voice during those years compared with previous albums. Sounds much much cleanear. If he would have sung this one on The Works it'd probably hadn't gone out at all.
What do u guys think??

Not my favorite song, but not the worst Queen track. Far from it, actually.
I know a lady who cites My Baby Does Me as her favorite Queen song.

[b]My Fairy King[/b]:
Well, musically this song kicks ass. I've always loved when Freddie and Roger put together their voices to create something good .
Especially this one:
Someeeeeeoooooneeee (Starts Freddie, ends Roger)
Someeeoonneeeeee (Starts Freddie, ends Roger)
Just drained the color from my wings
Broken my fairy circle ring
And shamed the king in all his pride
Changed the wings and wronged the ties (Both)
Musically there's a lot to say, but basically to me this one is one of the best from Queen, after Boh Raph. Nobody hasn't given it much attention, except fans.
It has so much creativity from the Freddie's and Roger's voices in falsetto to Brian's use of the guitar in the intro and the ending.
The musical part in the end it's just marvelous.
Any opinions on this one?

I'm pretty sure both 'someone' are just Freddie.
MmP · Member since
Listen carefully Sebastian. Starts with Freddie (I think on the right buffer) and at the end it's Roger obviously in the left buffer.
