Debatable. The Robbie Williams/PInk/Beyonce/Britney shit cheapened the original so I'd argue, very lightly, that anything that diminishes the original tarnishes the legacy. As I say, debatable.

Daburcor?
There are aspects of it I like but, by and large, it doesn't really grab me in the way Brain's songs used to. Honestly, I haven't cared for much of anything he's made since 'Dream of Thee' if I'm being honest. Not that I have outwardly [i]hated[/i] all of it either. There are always aspects I like - a guitar line here, a harmony there - and for those brief moments, I'll think of the Brian May of the past and be totally into what he's doing, but then those feelings will die in the next instance, and I'll just be left indifferent. Which is a feeling I fucking [i]loathe[/i]. I would much rather passionately hate something than feel nothing for it [i]at all[/i], and that's sadly what Brian's musical output has been for me in the last decade plus. I still have [i]mountains[/i] of respect for the guy, but I also don't eagerly await new music from him anymore.

I like the song. Sounds like an 80's rock song (which is a good thing for me).
