This was it. The long awaited next single from the Number One band of 1980. I got the single before I’d heard it. And I looked at that cover….of those bodies….with the painted arrows….and I thought….
Wtf is this?
And when I put it on I was transfixed…
On just how weird and out of character it was.
This is a gay club dance track all the way.
It’s all Freddie. He’s moaning and hissing and groaning all over it.
The bassline was created by a synthesizer. Are the drums programmed? Is Queen anywhere on this song? Didn’t Donna Summer do this shit 5 years before???
But, how’s the song?
Catchy, sure. They know how to craft a pop song.
Good? Um…no.
Stupid? Yes.
Grade: D
