Bb
Guten Morgen, sie wünschten geweckt zu werden.
Bb .. ? haha sorry like minor, major, pentatonic?
Bb majar!
Love Kills, drills you through you're Heart, Love Kills, Tears you right apart..
The entire piece isn't in B-flat major tho...
It isn't Bb Major, it's B Major (or G minor)

The first piano part that is. There is a modality at the point where it switches to the operatic section, I'm not sure to what key, and then there are more modalities...
The yellow keys....
The opera bit is in A (major)

I figured that out by accident!

Yes, and the rock part is also in Bb.


And btw, I can actually play this silly song on piano! ;)

Ahh! Last night I was watching some videos off of youtube, and I FINALLY figured out that cool scale-ish thing Freddie does in the middle of the last guitar solo.. erm.. right before the "ooh yeah, ooh yeah" part.. right at the end.. oh god, does anybody know what I'm talking about? Anywho- I was happy. :-D
That time will come, one day you'll see, when we can all be friends...

No, actually, the rock section of the piece sounds to me like it's in E flat major.
I'm quite sure it's in Bb.

Not really. Listen to the rock section again because E flat major is four steps up from the key of B flat major. If it's still B flat then it would sound exactly like the very beginning.

You must mean the guitar solo... I was talking about when the singing comes in. But I believe the rest of the section is in Bb, isn't it? I just played along to the song on my synth, and you're right, it's Eb before the singing comes in, but then it changes to Bb.
