Was "Delilah" A Good Song?

No no no no, Man on the prowl is the worst.

Delilah is quiet good, I can see why some people hate ut, I did taht at first, but I've been listening more and more to it, and I actually like it now. It's kinda cute, but I don't like the beginning, the first two lines, that's probably why I used to skip it all the time.

Uhhh, no. Delilah is a perfect example.

I can! ;)

i love "man on the prowl"...

Freddie loved this cat and you can hear it in the music. It's like he knows he is leaving soon and he is calling back to her. He tried to make parts of the song humorous, but I can hear the great sadness as well. In this respect, it is a great example of Freddie's musical genius. This is also a very catchy song and it gets stuck in my head sometimes after I've heard it. The guitar is great - a perfect touch by Brian and a fitting tribute to Freddie's beloved cats.

Bah, when Brian writes a song about HIS cat no-one complains!

Anyway, I think it's a perfectly good song, not the naffest queen song by any means (I'd be far more embarrased playing something like "Don't Try Suicide" in the car). Most of Queen's songs are a bit naff in some way (even the balls out rockers like the Hitman have embarrasing lines like "what a thief, what a pest"), so I don't see any reason to single out this one. Anyway, if albums like Sheer Heart Attack and A Night At The Opera can have stupid campy numbers breaking up the rock ones, why not Innuendo? Is it because it's a 90s album rather than a 70s one it has to be all po faced serious?

I quite like it, it's amusing especially the 'peeing all over my Chipendale' line......just glad they did not release it as a single.

I love the miaows and the guitar miaowing.....
A very underrated song.....

I agree, Innuendo was probably the greatest album, the only songs is dislike are; The Hitman and All God´s People.

I think people put it down just cause it's about a cat and they arn't used to writing songs about cats.

Oh, really? ^^
