Made in Heaven. You Don't Fool me.

Meh. By this time Tricky, The Prodigy and them lots were making massive leaps in complex soundscapes & scaring up alternate universe in dance, not to mention the synth-only folks of Pet Shop Boys, Depeche etc spinning un-rock worlds with richer woe-is-me history behind them. Don't get why they process Freddie's vox so much that it's muffled, neither rising above to take charge like the super-diva he could be (as Massive Attack might've used him), nor completely at one with the synths (he's too distinctive, but who the hell is he whispering to and what fer? A problem compounded by the generic angsty teen-clubbing vid.)

The only saving grace is Brian let loose, shuttling out of the accomplished geriatric muzak of Last Horizon (joking), onto the dance floor where everyone's younger than even Jimmy May:P At least it's a long way since the difficulty of inserting himself into Hot Space synths - but certainly a bit laggard compared to New Order/Electronic/Depeche's Song of Faith & Devotion by then. Ok, it's an 1-off. Who knows what greater things they could've done if given more time. 

* Just compare how little Jr Vasquez could improve on Bicycle Race
(beyond quixotic and purrrrfect!), to what could possibly done to remix YDFM. It's
already watered down unless you get creative hacking up the solo.

(Although it's not bad as a breather, being a part of MIH's flow.)

Always been a fan of this song...one of Brian's best moments as far as solos go...and the rhythm part is cool. The remixes...every last one of them blow!!

One of the best songs on MIH that I remember so well from the record company's presentation in Sweden in october 1995. I felt it was very catchy and Brians solo is amazing...

One of Brian's finest solos.

Album Version (9/10, great and catchy song)
Vinyl Edit (8/10)
Dutch Edit (8/10)
Dub Dance Single Mix (8/10)
Late Mix (10/10, awesome!)
BS Project Remix (8/10)
BS Project Remix Edit (8/10, best version mixed not by Richards)
Freddy's Club Dub (1/10)
Freddy's Revenge Dub (1/10)
Queen for a Day Mix (1/10)
Queen Forever Megamix (1/10, awful!)
Dancing Divaz Club Mix (2/10, spanish guitars in only worthy part of this remix)
Dancing Divaz Instrumental Club Mix (1/10)
Dancing Divaz Rhythm Mix (1/10)
Sexy Club Mix (1/10, awful!)
Sexy Club Mix Mis-pressed Edit (1/10)
The eYe Version (9/10)
Teaser Tape Edit (6/10, because it's just a teaser edit, no less, no more)

I have a maxi Cd with 4 of those versions, the album cut, the edit, sexy club remix and dancing divaz remix,take it from me, the album version is the only one worth listening to on this particular cd, im open to all sorts of queen remixes, but the sexy club remix is just plain dreadful...its jus freddie saying 'sexy' for 10 minutes!!!

I wish Queen would release some "in-depth" documentary on the entire Made in Heaven album.  I know YDFM was made from "scraps," but boy...I'd love to know more.  It's a great track.  It would just be interesting to have a documentary on MIH, much like the one done for ANATO.

Yeah, well they'd have an excuse to do some Making-Of if they would just release a fucking GVH3 already.

I have a 12" record from 2006 of 'You don't fool me'  pressed on red vinyl which contains two more remixes, although I am not completely sure if they are official. They are called "solitaire dance mix" and "solitaire ambient mix", and if I remember well they sound a bit like the "dub dance single mix", although not exactly the same of course.

Yesterday afternoon, after a bad day, I got into my car and when I turned on the radio "You don't fool me" was playing. It was the first time that I heard this song on the radio!! It completely changed my mood. :)
