I just remembered yesterday the existence of Holy Bulsara, a song written about Freddie by Pat Smear, former guitarist of the Germs, former touring guitarist of Nirvana (btw it's interesting to note that both he, Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl liked Queen!) and guitarist for the Foo Fighters. Does anyone know any other song written about Freddie, except the ones written by the other members of Queen?
(Here is a link to the song, it's kinda weird because they put two songs together but Holy Bulsara begins at around 4:04. Not bad but I prefer the first one.)

Hello,
I only know that a rock group from Italy (called Timoria) put out a song dedicated to Freddie in about 1992 (not really about Freddie, it was just a tribute). The song's name is "Non Siamo Solo Noi". Sadly, the band don't exist anymore, but they were quite popular in Italy back then.
Here's the song:

I also know that Mika's latest album contains a song entitled "Last Party", which is about Freddie.

I'll be happy just as long as nobody mentions that horrible troll's "tribute song" ... I think it was called : "Freddie I'm a whiny monster singing like I've got emphysema. You're the best king mercury it's been 12 years and 14 hours and 32 seconds without you"...
I think the band was TREASURE TROLL.

Not exactly a song about Freddie, but well, he's mentioned :)
I forgot than another Italian rocker (Pino Scotto) wrote a song about Freddie in 1992.
The song's named "Regina di Cuori" (Queen of Hearts), and unfortunately is sung in Italian :-):

Freddies old pal Billy Squier: 'I saw you fly'
(alltough it seems as if he only performed the track live
and it has never been officially released)
(Well and off course Roger Taylor's 'old Friends')

I was thinking about Billy Squier, too!
The actual title is "I have watched you fly".

There's a song from an English songwriter called Frank Turner which mentioned Freddie in a positive way, although the song isn't about him. The track is called "Eulogy":
