I always thought that the man with the stick was Freddie.
Not those are losers who fall, but those who don't stand up.
"Hey he used to be a man with a stick in his hand
Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy do
She used to be a woman with a hot dog stand
Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy do"



Actaually.... the man with the stick in the hand is refering to a police officer, I believe...and well...the woman with a hotdog stand..I think is pretty straightforward.... a woman with a hot dog stand.....those are just my thoughts...

I agree!
"gnoldeaH gnoldeaH gnoldeaH gnoldeaH"

I always thought that they were saying

"horney, horney, horney, horney"! lol

oh well, maybe my mind was in the gutter as well.

KYA everyone
better sit back and go with the flow
It's obviously what the song is about, no doubt. Even if the other lyrics are objective, these seal the deal.

When a red hot man meets a white hot lady
Woop diddy diddy - woop diddy do
Soon the fire starts raging gets you more than half crazy
Woop diddy diddy - Woop diddy do
Now they start freaking everywhere you turn
You can't start walking cause your feet got burned
It ain't no time to figure wrong from right
Cause reason's out of the window better hold on tight

Maybe i'll add that to my sex having cd!


I think the energy of the song is sexual enough...

a "sex having cd" sounds like a good idea....hhmmm....

Sex, sex, sex. Everyfrigginthing is about sex, eh! And now I can't even think about listening to Headlong anymore ... oy.

(Interesting interpretation of lyrics, by the way. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.)

Welcome to rock and roll, honey! That's what it was made for. Not politics or world views or racial slurrs/comments. Its just about feeling!

I thought Brian wrote the song about the crashing relationship with his wife and his growing affair with Anita Dobson, and some observations about the state of the band at the time -- things were going in one crazy direction really fast i.e. wanting to tour but being unable because of Fred's health-- 'cos there ain't no stoppin' and ya can't stop rockin' no there's nothing you can nothing you nothing you can do about it...'

"Headlong" makes my head spin. The entire Innunedo album seems more introspective than any other, IMHO, at least the kind of personal comments which seem more transparent than Freddie wrestling with his sexual identity in "Bohemian Rhapsody" or "Somebody to Love." When Freddie sings "inside my heart is breaking, my makeup may be flaking," you really could take it literally if you consider the effects of the virus. Brian writes great lyrics, really thoughtful sentiments on "The Show Must Go On" that remind me of "Long Away" or "Sail Away Sweet Sister."

you are just NUTS!!
Mejor yo me hecho una chela, y chance enchufo una chava, chambeando de chafirete, me sobra chupe y pachanga Tranzando de arriba a abajo, hay va la chilanga banda , chinchin si me la recuerdan
I agree Mex!!

The song isn't about sex, it's about AIDS
"On the first day Pim & Niek created a heavenly occupation. Pim & Niek blessed it and named it 'Loosch'." (Genesis 1:1)
Perhaps Headlong was about all of those three hings (sex, AIDS, Brian's personal life) It seems to me that there are many Queen songs which have duel meanings to them, not just one true interpretation or "one vision" (har).

I agree with QueenZeppelin.....
....and being a "newbie" doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about or have a valid opinion.
