Queen Lyrics are funny?!

"Queen's, "Put Out The Fire" The funny Lyrics: People get shot by people, people with guns... Why They're funny:
No kidding, Brian... Are they using bullets too?!?"

This line, which sounds a bit forced when you first listen to it, is actually a bit more subtle. The gun lobby's traditional reply to gun control arguments is "Guns don't kill, PEOPLE kill" i.e. killers would use a knife, hatchet etc if guns were banned. But Brian's reply to that in the song is, Yes people kill, People. With. GUNS! His argument being that it's much easier to kill with a gun since it's an impersonal weapon than with a knife (for example) or a baseball bat, or a hammer etc. PLus, nutjobs usually go on a killing spree with a semi or fully automatic gun rather than, say, a screwdriver. Or a pointed stick :)

So one up for Brian in this case.

"Beelzebub is the devil so how can he put himself aside for someone??? duh!!"

I agree with that,in other cases it looked like as if they are not Queen fans,so why entering to post there just to say "I don't like this and that"."

The bible is filled with crap like that.

Jesus is God...Jesus admired God.

What an egocentric bastard!

(Oh, btw, Jesus is sometimes Gods son aswell)

'It's all bullshit. The problem with these people is that they have no idea how to read between the lines.'

I agree, but please tell me how to read between these lines:
'Told my gal I'd have to forget her, rather buy me a new carburettor...
...With my hand on your grease gun, it's like a disease son...'

IMO the most stupid lyrics ever on a queen album.LOL.

If anybody cares to know, when Lucifer, the Devil who was an angel, was thrown out of heaven by God, he took with him legions of devils (angels that followed him). So there are legions of devils not only one.

That's why when the song goes:
"Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me", it makes sense. :-P to those people on this one.

Big thank you to Holly. It reminds me of Margo's current signature. "Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Guns just make bullets go really really fast."

LOL to Dan.

There are tons of truly stupid lyrics out here - like when Toby Keith sings about America putting a boot in someone's ass. That's just embarassing. Or when Ludacris (Outkast? Someone else?) says "I wanna li-li-li-li-lick you from your head to your toes." Why do we have to pick on the people who wrte good lyrics?

Someday One Day is awesome, all the way through.

*steps off my soapbox*

The only the silly lyric I can think of is 'Now you've got soup in the laundry bag' in Headlong...but that's alright! Freddie had a beard so it allows him to get away with that.

>>I really like this band but... what? What is Gunpowder Gelatine? This makes no sense. And how can you shoot dynamite with a laser beam? Ah....im so lost.

Now thats funny.

I think there's a comma between gunpowder and gelatine, but still weird words to use. I think some of their songs must have been wrote when they were wasted, surely.

Cheers Holly 2003. I made this argument a while back nearly verbatim and it didn't quite stick with the bashersf that lyric. It almost riles me up as much as the argument against the line in Sweet Lady "you call me sweet like I'm some kind of cheese." Despite the fact it won't go down as Brian's finest poetry, the way it is sung by Fred (who is now singing from the 'Sweet Lady's' point of view) leads me to believe that his 'lady' is fed up and rolling her eyes at the guy who wants her to stay sweet. Yet people say "cheese isn't sweet" despite the fact that there is sweet cheese! Aiiiiiiii!!!!!!!! That line and the "people with guns" are the most misunderstood of Brian's lyrics, perhaps because some people can only see things in a literal sense.

Queen's, "Headlong"
The funny Lyrics:
Poop Ditty Ditty
Poop Ditty Doo
Why They're funny:
Those are the lamest lyrics I think I've ever heard.
