Headlong - "He used to be a man with a stick in his hand. . Hoop diddy diddy, hoop diddy doo.
She used to be a woman with a hot dog stand"
Translation:
"He used to be a man with his dick in his hand.
She used to be a woman with a drawer full of vibrators"
Fat Bottomed Girls:
"Well I was just a skinny lad, never knew no good from Bad but I knew life before I left my nursery. Left alone with big fat fatty, she was such a naughty nanny. .. heap big woman you made a big man out of me"
Translation:
I was a baby sucking on a big fat tit. I really learned the way my life would go. Coming back to "mama"
Big man = hard on as well.
... Any others?

I can't see how that's racist.

Well. Fanny... fatty.... same difference as it accords.
There's that European remark in body language that someone explained before.. But I still think headlong is the best contender. Especially as it confronts problems in relationships.
One thing I don't get completely is the line "now you've got strings you're gonna lose your rag"
I get the rag part. That's usually equated with menstrual cycles. If she's off the rag then she's prego. (Spaghetti sauce) and gonna birth a kid in approx nine months.
Then the attending drama. .. let me out of this cheap b movie (dialogues taking on extremes rather than anything equitable to something dramatic)
It all makes sense
... But will someone please explain the idiom "strings" as it applies to this song penned by Brian May?

Isn't it "....left alone with big, fat Fanny..." to make it rhyme with nanny?

Seriously? Is this what you get out of this line? Or are you kidding? (Sorry if I seem a bit dense!)
I always thought the 'strings' had perhaps something to do with a guitar. Or, the strings of the 'laundry bag' in the previous line. That would also make sense of 'rags'...?

One of my favourite, although not racy per se, is the very sexy, tongue-in-cheek line 'I love you for your mind baby, give me your body'.
Also, I always thought Lily of the Valley was kind of Freddie's song about his sexual confusion. And 'serpent of the Nile, relieve me for a while, And cast me from your spell and let me go' sounds just too graphic. Does anybody else see it that way?

" lose your rag' - lose your temper.

The song headlong is a direct precursor/brother to Brian's LOVE TOKEN. And they're both about bad relationships. One is the OLD relationship (love token) headlong is the new rushed into relationship (headlong)
I'm not exaggerating. That's what it clearly means.
Strings ... what are strings idiomatically?
Sperm?
There's zero mention of a guitar. It's hardly even abstract thinking as regards the lyrics. Just a mess of a relationship.
No there's Nothing you can
nothing you can
Nothing you can do about .. at all.
It's all about usually dumb horny people with no forethought rushing into a relationship and then getting stuck with each other. At least that's how I've always seen it.
The first lines obviously degrade their personages into characters of resistance and "folly".
After all they're "hooked up"
The furiously resistant male and equally resistant female.
They meet. Screw around and VOILA .... baby.
It's even more Brian May -esque if you figure out that newborns typically have elongated heads from birth and through the "birth canal".
Just like FBG. Habits are learned at the start. Just like psychological critics of weaponry believe in projection of male anatomy, It's a "head" long gesture that leads to the same old story.
Something like the "twist" in good company
He eventually had his own "limited company".
... an LTD. but also an ISOLATED LIFE... No one else. He spent his time for the buck and made his bed
The clever wit of Brian May.
I always thought that bit was obvious. Especially with his 90's output about relationships

Ah. I'd always thought the strings part was about DRAMA. .. in films you hear strings. Good or bad or suspenseful. I just don't know the lingo of BRITS so I figured I'd ask it.
So if you lose your rag
.... then you can't ... clean with another rag?
I still don't get the figure of speech.
Sorry if I'm dense

FTR - "SOUP IN THE LAUNDRY BAG" - OBVIOUSLY means bodily fluids. .otherwise IT WOULDN'T BE IN THE LAUNDRY! !

Body Language.....I have no idea what in the hell it means, but "knock me down for a six anytime" just sounds dirty....
And GOFLB has "come and sit in my hot seat of love"...lol

Or maybe it's strings as in 'now you've got strings attached'?? Like the relationship is just 'baggage' now....
