Thanks for your letter Niek, it brought back a lot of beautiful memories !!
March of the black Queen is indeed about a woman who works in a bakery - In fact Freddie wrote this song about a woman called Elsa who had a bakery in Kensington when we were starting out with Queen .... Before rehearsals Freddie often bought a cake there to surprise us.
Freddie would always talk about her great cakes and when he arrived late for rehearsals Roger always joked "He's probably marching to his black Queen".
So that's the story about that one !!

There's seduction (of the masses as well as the performer), there are show elements – pyrotechnics, music and costumes, and there's the feeling of power over a submissive audience.
The song was written at the beginning of their carreer, when everything was overwhelming, when success came faster than could be handled. Maybe the impression of all that led Freddie to writing those cryptic, but nonetheless intoxicating lyrics.[/QUOTE]
Yes! These are good points. I always thought that Freddie was half-jokingly referring to himself as the "Black Queen" or one of her victims (the black fingernail polish, black stage outfits, black eye makeup, "Egyptian art" haircut - very dramatic overall effect). Other than that, he was having fun with some ideas from children's fairy tales and songs and combining that with the theme of evil incarnate winning out over good (in this song at least). He was also, I think, trying to establish the ways that he was different from Brian in the songwriting area. His "black" contrasted really well with Brian's "white".

Okay, so Freddie is 'the black Queen?' That actually makes a lot of of since...I still just dont get the nigger sugar baby oil part, thats weird to me..
I really thought that Freddie was talking about a black female dominatrix (if my spelling is right?)...lol

That was what I've always thought.
Freddie is The Black Queen, my god!!! Isn't it obvious??? He's the "Bad Boy", The "Black Queen" and all... he's later the "angel", who has to "bring a little bit of love and joy", and then, he feels that he's so powerful, everyone have to do what he wants... just check it with another songs like "Great King Rat" or "Seven Seas Of Rhye" or "Flick of the Wrist", he was always the "bad boy". And Freddie is a bit like that too, lol jeje
The theory of the black whore is not wrong, I think it's not like that, but maybe it's like that. Freddie always said that people have to put their presonal interpretation on his songs.

"Does it mean this, does it mean that, that's all anybody wants to know. Fuck them, darling. I say what any decent poet would say if you dared ask him to analyse his work: If you see it, dear, then it's there."

nigger sugar, baby oil: heroine and gay sex (???)
Could be, but that doesn't sound Freddie-like, does it?
