I don't see anything wrong with Delilah.

Not necessarily, I just see a lot of people dissing this song.

I'm glad you posted this topic. People say delilah is bad yet they love the fairy fellers master stroke. Even the opening lines of Delilah are better than some entire queen songs.

Any song that has cats meowing in it is shit and embarrassing.
Carry on.

it'd be shit if it improved a lot

I think Delilah is a cute song and Brian's "meow" guitar licks crack me up.

Also, I agree about Party. I think it sucks.

Ditto Khashoggi's Ship.

When I first listened to The Miracle and those were the opening tracks, I was so disappointed... then I Want It All came on, and all was well. :)

I've said this before... but in my opinion it is truly awful.
Possibly... possibly... There are days when I think Man On The Prowl is worse, but generally I think it is the worst song they released.

But I'm glad some people like it, one of the joys of Queen is the many different types of song they recorded.

Theres about a half dozen songs they released that I have only negative thoughts about. that's a pretty good ratio.

you're seriously comparing those two songs? not only that, but by the phrasing and ordering of your reply, your inference is that Delilah is the better of the two?

in over a decade on this site i thought i read every bizarre opinion possible - then this comes along - most stupid comment ever made.

I agree. FFMS Is right in the tops of their tracks for me.

I don't mind Delilah. It's a fun song and Queen have always had those type of songs in their arsenal. Maybe if i wasn't such a Queen fan, i would be able to take my rose-tinted glasses and label it as cringe-worthy and embarassing...but i dunno, it just doesn't bother me. I definitely feel there are worse songs in their catalogue, but not many.

I also think the band were totally right to include it considering the circumstances. I can't imagine how hard it would be to say to an enthusiastic, upbeat, excited Mercury who never thought he would be alive to make this final album, that a song that he's so happy about and has given him the strength to be able to sing today...is shit and is in no way going to be on the album. If the song was written for The Works or Magic...maybe the rest of them would have said 'nah, not sure about that...probably one for your solo album'. But considering the context of the situation...very hard for them to say no i feel.

I'm not sure if you're attempting a bit of leg pulling here or you genuinely prefer poop tracks over decent ones.

A love song to one of Freddie´s cats.

It would've been better if Freddie recorded it on tape and played it directly to his cat.

Now would Led Zep,The Who, Beatles, Pink Floyd the great serious bands do such a song.
