Most homosexual Queen song.

I liked the "like any other boy" part because then you don't know who is the boy.

It's better that way.

"The other boy" thing is meant to be ambiguous I suspect. Generally a boy takes a girl dancing. It's the same as Good Old Fashioned Loverboy and "you will pay the bill, I'll taste the wine". Both of these are generally done by the male.

Son And Daughter - don't know if the post on this one was a joke, but I always presumed this was because Brian's an only child and felt he had to fullfil both roles as a son and a daughter. Ties in with Sail Away Sweet Sister.

Right on, Oberon. I believe that's the truth.

If I could only reach you, If I could make you smile...

Im outta control, Im gonna rush headlong into this extacy..

Honey your starting somthing, deep inside of me..


Not homosexual, but quite horney. Infact, im gonna play it now and Tommy Tank. *blushes*

...except that the actual line in GOFLB is exactly opposite to what Oberon said, and traditionally men pay the bill, completely negating the theory of deliberate sexual ambiguity in that song.

(Although I don't know which sex traditionally tastes the wine, not being up on my social etiquette. If men do, then my above statement is completely negated, which would be suitably ironic).

I always thought "I'll taste the wine" was very gay and meant oral sex with climax (the 'wine')... a similar lyric comes in 'Khashoggi's Ship' with "Everybody drank my wine -you get my drift" which kind of speaks for itself.

In the same song, Freddie writes:

"This big bad sucker with a fist as big as your head
Wanted to get me, I said go away"

Um, 'fist' has a meaning in the gay community which I can't really explain in a nice way at all - you get my drift? :-P Combining that with 'sucker' in the same lyric.. well, I rest my case.

I think...Son and Daughter, the March of the Black Queen (..I'm lord of the darkness I'm Queen of the night"), Don't stop me now, in ther part that "I'm going to make a supersonic woman of you" and then he said "I'm gonna make a supersonic man of you"....maybe I'm just thinkin in the wrong way...but the first time that I lestened that, That was what I tought....

There's a lot of that in Brian's songs, saying something about one gender, and repeating it for the other, giving his songs this interesting wondering capacity.

Like in Polar Bear, "To see him as you'd see a star
Love him from where you are
He's not for, not for, not for sale" then "To see her as I'd see a star
Love her from where you are
She's not for, not for, not for sale"
And then ties it up with both, "I love her from where I lie
He's not for,not for,not for sale
Not for sale"

And... temporarily forgotten the other one that stuck out besides Son and Daughter and that other one... oh, right. Now I'm Here, about "random groupie" Peaches "Don't I love her so" and then about Hoople, "Don't I love him so".

Not to say there's anything to read into that, however I think what is the read into bit would be the fact that lyrics were changed when sung live.

ie. "Don't I love him so" was either not sung or changed to the later "don't I love you so" and "when I'm holding your grease gun" was always sung "When you're holding my grease gun, honey."

Also, when Freddie performed "Big Spender" he always fuzzed over "guy" to kind of sound like "gal" and barely sang the word man.

I can't believe I forgot about all the M of the BQ stuff, especially the line "Now I've got a belly full" and all the painting nails and "rub-a-dub-a-baby oil" bit. Not to mention "put them in the cellar with the naughty boys" and the whole sugar baby thing... Even though he does say "she" that's not necessarily the person's gender, as we are talking about a belly full here. Freddie and Elton John commonly refered to each other as "she" in interviews, after all.

So... yeah. A few more cents from the Chancellor.

-Amethyst

I think the millionaire waltz is the most gayish

I think Misfire...it sounds to me like that song's about gay sex

"Don't you Misfire, fill me up"

How is "Get down, make love" Homosexual? He is talking about having sex with a super hot girl. Boy and Girl is straight, people. And I am ashamed about how many people are replying to this. Freddie couldn't help the way he was, and he was free to incorporate his feelings and such into his songs.

"If you went to a gay club in the early 80's, you would have thought that it was Freddie in a house of mirrors; every man in there had the short shorts, bushy mustache and leather."

And you would know this HOW???

XD Im loving this topic.
I gotta say "See What A Fool I've Been"...apparently it's so queer it makes my mother's stomach turn. I think its overly-camp performance
Gotta say I love Son and Daughter...I really really really do... I suppose it fits well into my friends and my lifestyles... Hope to perform it some day with my current group (or make a japanese version ^_^)
I also agree with "March of the Black Queen" not ONLY because of the lord of all darkness part as well and also the reply ^_^
the songs sexy none the less.

A,uh,friend told me. Yeah,that's it, a friend told me.

Have you gyus forgotten We Are The Champios??
It’s not a song about a football club winning a championship, it’s about a gay community that has truly’paid their dues’ and ’done their senrence but committed no crime.’ Try and listen the song in that context. It makes perfect sence in that way, too.

When it comes to Freddie’s song, i think, he wnted to write songs that could be interpreted in so meny ways. Well, that’s what poetry is all about, isn’t it? Yes, many Queen songs can be interpreted as gay songs, but remember what Freddie said in an interview about tha name of the band (that is, Queen) ’I was aware of the gay connotation but that was just one face of it.'’I think he loved it when people couldn’t tell what his work was all about.
