Hi!
Well, Mustapha is interesting - sounds quite arabic and is quite funny. Not a hit-single - although even released as single in Germany I think. Give it a listen, sure no disappointment.
The lyrics are weird. Good guitar on it. Towards the end the song becomes a bit more heavy. Worth an ear.
The whole "Jazz" album (Mustapha is the first one on it) is a IMO very good, all moods again, and some well-known songs on it (Bicycle Race, Don't stop me now), two softer ones (Jealousy, In only seven days), hard rock (Dead on time), and so on... One of my favorite albums definately.

Agree with Juls (as usual) even if "Jazz" is not one of my favs... I still can't say why they released it as a single in Germany...
By the way, Juls, take my MSN account, if you want... I'll add yours, OK?
Nice to talk with U

Brilliant song. I love how it suddenly goes from mono to stereo and starts rockin' :)
It means nothing.
And it's kinda weird...
According to a certain Queenzone poll I love to plug, Mustapha is one of four Queen songs that have the widest range of opinion between Queen fans. Roger wrote the other three songs with wide ranges of opinion between Queen fans.

In case anyone cares, I suppose I should explain what the middle quartile range is. The middle quartile represents the votes between the 25th and 75th percentile.
In the case of Mustapha, the rating range was just below 6. On a scale of 0 to 10, one quarter of Queen fans rated Mustapha as a 3 or lower while one quarter rated it as a 9 or higher. Hence the middle quartile range is 9 - 3 = 6 (actually 5.75 due to averaging effects).

That thing is your proudest accomplishment, isn't it?
proud - yes. proudest no.
I'll try to look up "quartile" soon.
If there is one thing worse than being mocked, it is being mocked by right-brained, artistic people. I geuss I'll get over it. Am I the only nerd on Queenzone? Oh well.
I do apologize. It seems I was only utilizing a quartile of my cerebrum. Blame the corpus callosum!

When I first heard this song (a long time ago) I was not too fond of it. It was totally different than any other Queen song. Shortly though that became one of the main reasons that I love the song.
