Pieter's right of course (again). This is all explained in the lyrics of '39.

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]A very lame bunny wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Elvis had the occasional dabblement into gayness, which isn't well known. Being mutual friends with David Hodo (of the Village People), the two eventually met in early 1976 when they all happened to be visiting New York.
The song was in fact improvised/co-written by Elvis and Freddie one of those nights and recorded onto cassette. Mr. Hodo reminded Freddie of the session and gave him the tape upon the news of Elvis' death the next year.
Mr. Hodo being the only other person knowing it existed, the two agreed that Freddie should take charge of the song and treat it as a tribute to Elvis without acknowledging Elvis' actual participation.
Freddie re-recorded a demo and presented it to the band in 1979, and included some double-tracked vocal thing which was actually himself harmonizing so closely to Elvis from the cassette that nobody became wise to the fact that Elvis was actually included. And in fact, part of that '2nd demo' is mixed-in to the final version we all know.
So Elvis does in fact appear on the Queen version, but never recorded, nor even wrote down the song himself properly.. it was merely a mutual drug-induced improvisational thing originally.[/QUOTE]
My compliments on the creation of the word "dabblement".
I always thought that was a chewing gum.
