I agree with you. I always found this easy to play, even early on when I hadn't been playing for very long.
Hardest for me is intro to Death On Two Legs, as someone mentioned earlier. Don't Stop Me Now is somewhat difficult too, but in a different kind of way. The syncopated piano part during the verses was difficult for me to grasp at first.

Fred overcomplicates his technique somehow when he plays it at Wembley. He's bouncing his fingers off the keys too much, meaning they have to move more quickly to get back down to the notes again, which ultimately means that although his fingers and hands are moving quickly, the notes aren't being played as fast as they appear to be.[/QUOTE]
He always seemed to do that. His technique for striking the keys was very odd. It made all of piano playing look harder than what it really was.

I tried to download Seven Seas of Rhye one time (the sheet music) and I thought I was nacho cheese and it would be a snapp since i've played since I was in the first grade. Pfft.
Anyways, It got so frustrating I kicked the leg of my piano and it left a big scuff mark. Not that anyone noticed. My basement piano has been through hell on earth. But, still, a lesson that I have learned.
Burned the sheet music in our fireplace later that day.

Alot of the stuff on JAZZ (in my view...someone who plays Piano) is quite challenging. Not so much note-wise, but rhythm and speedwise.
Mustapha and Bicycle Race
That and millionaire's Waltz.
Death on 2 Legs isn't that bad, if you understand how the chords work at the beginning...I found out that the right-hand chords at the very beginning basically lie between two octave notes (d-flats?) that decend chromatically and the chord is filled in naturally as a result...
if that makes any sense ?

how about the piano solo on living on my own
I think Lazing on a sunday afternoon sounds pretty hard, i also looked at the arrangement for it, and it looked tough

Love Of My Life is pretty hard.

Anyone with a fully functioning brain and hands cold be taught how to play that at about 90% tempo/accuracy within about 10 minutes. It just isn't hat difficult to play. It may look it and sound it, but it isn't. Fact.

Sure it is (know it all)

i'd say "seaside rendezvous" & "lazing on a sunday afternoon".
all this 20s-musical-related stuff is really tough if you're not used to it..

As a piano player, I'd like to put a word in. Most of the songs you guys are naming, aren't hard at all. D on 2L is like one chord for the whole piano introduction, Seaside is written in C major.. and is mostly based on chord inversions. 7SofR is simply a D tonic arpeggio and a D augmented arpeggio. That's mumbo jumbo for 2 different types of triads. It's really elementry. I will say that Don't Stop me Now is freaking hard. The reason is this: Freddie improved most of it, and the sheet music isn't the same as what he played at all. As for Boh Rap.. the operatic part is four tonic arpeggios.. not hard by any stretch of the imagination, but the "I see a little siloetto of a man" part is too fast for anybody's hands to go and be accurate.
Mostly the songs you guys are naming off just sound flashy. They want you to think it's hard. Looks like they accomplished that goal.
I think that My Melancholy Blues is challenging. And from my best guess, Millionaire Waltz is pretty tough, at least the way Freddie played it... *sigh* :-)
