Dont try- suicide lyrics are ironic[/QUOTE]

I don't really see how. The musical/lyrical dissonance coul be seen as irony but that's about it.

Don't try suicide IS sarcastic.


Ex "suicide? OHHH! That!... Ahh don't try it.... Its so overrated."


But don't try so hard, I hardly believe it was written with bad humor

John referred to the recording of Don't Try So Hard in a 1989 fan club message, but nothing elaborate, just that the band were quarreling over small pieces of the music.[/QUOTE]


No, it was 1990.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
