It’s pure Freddie. Great song with loads of classic Queen ingredients. I’m surprised it hasn’t risen up the historic ranks in popularity from minor hit of the time to major timeless song like Don’t Stop Me Now.
And yes lyrically it could have layers. Freddie’s use of words really went to pot in the 80s.

My favourite song (in the world).
Queen + Gay = GDML, IGSM
"I suck your mind! You blow my head!" (Humorous take on, "You blow my mind!"
IGSM:
1st verse: think of that Outkast music video with all the women just walking around like wildlife. (*only in this instance it's men for Freddie, seeing all the "young daffodils" out there)
I'm convinced "one wave short of a shipwreck" is a call to gay navy men. Waving as in HEY SAILOR! !!!! (*in gayest voice possible)
"Top billing" could indicate a man named Bill, or bring drilled by Bill
"I'm coming down with a fever, really out to sea"
Got the hots, taking in what's to SEE
"Kettle boiling over"
(Horny to anticipation and an URGE)
"i think I'm a banana tree"
(Sporting a boner)
It all came together for me when acknowledging his line "YOU'RE MISSING THAT ONE FINAL SCREW"
....AND HE WASN'T TALKING ABOUT BEING INCOMPLETE ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE!"

This is my favorite song. Starting to hear more people talking about it, I suppose one of the positive effects of the film.
The only thing that ruins GOFLB is that Drowse starts so quickly after it. :(
