Product Information

Freddie from Orlando, Flsigh... nobody listens to the DIRECT quote adressing its meaning stated by the writer... whatev.... Sydney from Cincinnati, OhSky Five, what song are you listening to? If your talking about Marie Antoinette; for one, she was the queen of France. Second did you not read at the top where Freddie Mercury himself said that it was about a classy whore? Belle from GeorgiaDoes anyone besides me think the actual lyric is, "Met a man from China, Went down to ASIA MINOR"? Cyn from Fairfield, CaI always thought, since I knew history and the fact that the queen never said let them eat cake, that it was about the kind of woman that would buy the best butter (review you Alice in Wonderland), but not have enough money to pay the gas bill. Oh well. George from Vancouver, CanadaIt was Maria Antoinette that said it, but this is a mistranslation; Certain impoverished people would come to the castle for a daily bread allowance; or it was her servants receiving part of their pay in food. The head of the larder said, "We're out of regular flour breads" & Maria said to go ahead & use the better/sweet flour. . . So it was actually a statement/act of generosity ("noblesse oblige"); likely the revolution was started, as most, by malcontents, who changed their minds about what they deemed fair pay/treatment, &, when they won, they didn't want to seem like greedy aarseholes, so they allowed the "let them eat cake" story(which was invented by an English history philosopher).

Claire from England99% sure it's guillotine not gelatine. My mum is obsessed with Queen since she was a teenager. She assures me it's guillotine. Melissa from Adelaide, AustraliaAfter a long and hard thesis on the French Revolution and the European Royalty that led to it's demise i can accurately say that it was a Spanish Consort who uttered the "let them eat cake" (in the english translation) George Pope from British ColumbiaOf course it's guillotine -- this fits in with the Marie Antoinette references -- Marie was beheaded by guillotine during the revolt Howard from St. Louis Park, MnThis well written ditty put Queen on the map. It's probably the only Top 40 hit to mention Nikita Khruschev and John F. Kennedy in the same verse. Let's not forget Marie Antoinette. Emily from Smithfield, NcWhat is the actual word in the line chorus line "Gunpowder _________, dynamite with a laser beam"? It is hard to discern when listening to the song, and I've seen many interpretations such as turpentine and gelatine (? I know of gelatin, but not this), and I personally hear "guillotine" which to me makes sense with the rest of the lyrics, and coincides with the Marie Antoinette reference. However, I am notorious for mishearing things, so this may be another case of that.

We say "let them eat cake," but the expression in French is "Qu'ils mangent des brioches," or "let them eat brioche." The point is not that she was meant to have said they should eat burnt leftovers; rather, it points to her naivete - if there's no bread, why don't they have cake (or brioche) instead? In the New Musical Express of November 2, 1974, the song’s writer and Queen’s frontman Freddie Mercury elucidates on this song: “It’s about a high class call girl. I’m trying to say that classy people can be whores as well. That’s what the song is about, though I’d prefer people to put their interpretation upon it – to read into it what they like.” Milly from Swansea, United KingdomIf you mix Gunpower and Gelatine and then set it on fire.. BOOM! You've made a simple form of Dynamite. Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). Matt from Saugus, MaActually, the "Let them eat cake!" line WAS said by Antoinette...but she was referring to a kind of cake eaten in the royal French court, so she may have been showing pity which was later misconstrued.

Jeanette from Irvine, Cathis song is sooooo great! it is the best queen song except for can't stop me now and play the game! i cant understand half the words though. the guitar in it is awesome! Shana from Pembroke, CanadaI really like this song...its really cool! but the chorus doesnt make too much sense to me... Brandon Gallagher from Marysville, Sdi would like to point out that mary antoinette did have like 3 husbands and they all died before her.Lawrence from Erie, PaThis was the first queen song I heard 1975?, It has been my number 1 faverite song of all times. While it may seem like a typical popular song, the structure utilised in the song is quite unusual. There are 4 bar phrases immediately followed by 5 bar phrases and then 2 bar phrases, with tempo changing from 12/8 to 6/8 and vice versa. Mellissa from Southern CaliforniaI'm so glad that Brian May finally clarified the "What a drag" lyric. I grew up singing that, because I thought it couldn't possibly be anything else, given the context of the song and Freddy's sexuality. Then karaoke came to America, and my husband challenged me on the "wanna try" thing. Well, now we know it is both. Jon from PhxNo matter what Freddie says, to me it is obvious that this song is about a high class transgendered prostitute. The hints are in the lyrics, "dynamite with her LASER BEAM", and throughout the song, Mercury is wailing, "what a DRAG". I'm sure that it was his own private joke... Alexander from London, EnglandGreat song but what pray tell is a high class prostitute apart from an oxymoron?

Maor from Sederot, Israelas i know, Antoinette was so ignoret she didnt knew regular people cant afford cakes.Kelly from Burbank, CaA high class hooker, eh? Freddie, Freddie, Freddie...well my spin on it was that she was a high class top of the line assasinator. You know, like James Bond only a girl. That would make sense of the chorus and lyrics for me at least. I don't know. But what I do know is that this is a fantastic song with a good vocabulary and tune, so I won't read into the lyrics too much. Nice job, Queen. Aron from Amsterdam, Netherlandsthis song is not about a hooker people, and without the intent to be disrespectfull its kind of ignorant top think so.. Queen is master of hidden meanings and subjects for that matter. Killer Queenis about speed or uppers. The beginning is about MA and is meant to make it look like its indeed about a hooker or whatever. Then comes built in remedy for kruschov and kennedy. Its well known president kennedy dabbled with mysterious energy shots..The caviar and cigarettes bit refers to the high class life style many people who start to use uppers (esp cocaine)adopt, whether they can it afford it or not. The chorus speaks for itself. Then comes recommended at the price insatiable an appetite: again no comment.never kept the same adres cfould refer to dealers or whatever. Other signs are bits like momentarily out pf action, temporarily out of gas. I think killer queen is more suitable a name for speed then for a wild hooker Doug from New York, Nyi would like to hear mcr do a cover it could sound pretty good, they could do both stay classic or put there own twist on it. either should be great covers
