I always thought MOTP (or better still MOP) was a bit of a Crazy Little Thing Called Love copy in terms of the mood, but lacked a really strong melody.
Having said that, I admit it has grown on me a bit over the years and it has some lovely keyboard playing in it as well. But I still wouldn't rate it as anywhere near to being one of my favourites in the Queen catalogue. In fact,I would also put it lower down when comparing it to the rest of the songs on The Works. Maybe ahead of Tear it Up I think, but that's about it.

I love MOTP...it's a 50's style tune, but in a different direction from CLTCL...and you've gotta love that awesome 'baby baby baby lookout' build-up to the guitar solo and the backing vocals...definitely underrated.

I think it's very forgettable. Not a terrible song, but not a great one either. Then again, the version I used to have in my iTunes cut off very suddenly at about the 3:00 mark, and I always assumed that was how the song actually went, which would have tainted my enjoyment of it.

I love Man on the Prowl, maybe my favourite on The Works.

cheap copy of crazy little thing piano driven rather than guitar.

I think it's a fine song. Not a masterpiece, but way way way way way better than Ga Ga, Magic, Dust, Break Free and Body Language, combined (not that it takes a lot to achieve that anyway).

I actually think that all of those songs (apart from possibly Body Language) are superior (I consider MOTP to be one of the weakest songs on The Works), however that aside, I'm surprised that you would consider it to be better than Dust, which is arguably among Queen's best songs.
