What did Bohemian Rhapsody mean?

Oh yeah. Satan Satan Freddie is dead Satan Paul is Dead Satan... it just goes on and on.

It's about the fake hobos who shot JFK from the railyards near Dealey Plaza. Obviously.

"Mama" is J. Edgar Hoover in drag. Probably.

I thought BR was about penis envy? Was i ever off.

Yes. You were.

You can even say... you "misfired" on that one... tee hee hee...

It is obvious what it is REALLY about. I can't understand why everybody says what does it mean. A guy shoots someone, gets caught, gets put in jail, gets given the death penalty. Just listen to the words, thunderbolt and lightning, so you think you can stone me and spit in my eye, nothing really matters...etc, etc ,etc

" Like the vast majority of Queen songs" Lols, what other ones are there that are about the self pleasure thingy?

Actually... that is EXACTLY what "Fick Of The Wrist" is about!

Go back and listen carefully young man!

*gasp* it's all so clear now!!!! LOL...quite interesting. Hmm...I never really thought about the meaning. One thing I did hear was that one line in the opera section (galileo figuro magnifico) means "Magnify the Galilean's Image" in Latin (it means Galileo is a great barber in Italian, so don't mix the two up...hehe). If that's the case, the Galilean would be Jesus Christ. Dunno how accurate that is...it's just something I read which I thought sounded reasonable.

Going along with the "self pleasure thingy" motif...I wonder what "stroke" the fairy feller delivered or what "nut" he cracked with the fairy folk gathered around watching him. Voyerism?? oh my!

Not at all.
In Latin
- "magnifico" means "I elevate/highly respect/praise"

- "galileo" isn't a genitive form. It would have to be Galileonis or something along the lines.

- It's "figaro", not "figuro" and "figaro" doesn't mean anything in Latin (like you said, it's an Italian barber).
It also can impossibly be an accusative form.
It would have to be "figuram", which it isn't.[/QUOTE]

I see. Well, it was a nice thought. Thanks for the clarification.

" Like the vast majority of Queen songs" Lols, what other ones are there that are about the self pleasure thingy?"

One other song is of course Stone Cold Crazy.
"Rainy afternoon I gotta blow a typhoon and I'm
playing on my slide trombone"
(btw during the Freddie Mercury tribute the singer of Metallica made the movement with his hand while singing that line) (it was Metallica, was it?)

How about "Headlong"?
"And you're rushing headlong...out of control. You think you're so strong, but there ain't no stopping and there's nothing you can do about it"

"He used to be a man with a stick in his hand"

Haha...I said this in the "Did Freddie Stuff His Pants" thread - is this conversation ACTUALLY happenning?? LOL

LOL,darlings,...but I think this might all be simply WISHFUL THINKING,don't you think??

I read somewhere that Bo Rhap was about absolutely nothing - it was just words. Apparently it was cocaine induced

Ha, i always love this question. It does come up at least once every 3 months now.
