Another harbinger of what would come on the next record this is a retro vaudeville song complete with brian may on ukelele, jangly piano, some terrific noodling by Brian on electric and some neat bass playing by John. The real treat here is Freddie. Doubling, tripling, acting, echoing, he does everything.
The economy of the song is remarkable. It packs an epic into a tight, taut, 2+ minutes.
Perhaps my favorite song on the record, it’s hard to imagine that this was the same album that started off with the hard rocking Brighton Rock as we are now in full on eclectica.
