I heard a rumor that this song or basic ideas go back to the Hot Space era but it just didn't made it to the album. Is there any substance to this or just crap?

No. It's a misinterpretation by people who were too stupid to read the liner notes from GH3 properly.

Wasn't it mostly misinterpreted by people whose first language wasn't English?

Does it matter? It was misinterpreted, and fools who don't bother to check their sources spread the misinformation further. Debunked.

I was asking a legitimate question, no need to be so dismissive and a lil' rude there Thomas. I'm well aware the misinformation was widespread over time, however my question was related more to the origin OF the misinformation.

On the booklet for "The Platinum Collection," the linear notes talk about You Don't Fool Me sounding like a Hot Space-era track!
Sebastian
The origin, I think, comes from GHIII, where the liner notes say that it 'harks back to' that era.
So, according to that logic, since 'Seaside Rendezvous' harks back to the 1920's, that's conclusive proof that Freddie wrote the song two and a half decades before he was born.

Damn.
Blunt queenzone snobbism.
You gotta realise this is GOING to happen for newbies on here; its testament to endurance of Queen's music. (And hopefully that lasts in spite of bad collaborations)
Age gracefully and help the young ones out without backlash.
I read somewhere that the track surfaced from engineer David Richards' attempt to piece scraps together; dunno anything else beyond that.
I can only assume there was a song of sorts, because it has rhythm and something of a story to tell. How the band missed it, I dunno.
I know a lot of people hate it due to that fact and also because it's repetitive. I happen to freakin love it. Especially love the solo. The song is great considering its creation

You Don't Fool Me was always a real song and not scraps put together. The lyrics were written by Freddie and they are reproduced in the new Complete Lyrics book.

Awesome, can't wait for the Lyrics book!

Great, so that's two myths or mistruths now debunked in this book alone...which song had "Wooly Hat" as a working title, and You Don't Fool Me being an actual proper song from the get-go rather than just random scrap tidbits

Ah nice. So what's the real behind Andy Gibb + Play The Game and Rod Stewart in the early 80's "Let Me Live"?
Since I doubt I'll get the book (sorry-money's tight this year. Got a vacation planned and the re-releases didn't provide anything new to compel me)

Could it be that "Yup bup ba ba ba ba da da da dah!" line be actually unfinished lyrics?
However it sounds splendid!

If you're going to lecture me about being rude, you might perhaps not have phrased your original remark like a jab to non-English speakers. Has that crossed your mind?
