A truly ridiculous song. Truly. A love song to a car. Four albums in and Roger continues to prove that as a songwriter he’s an awesome drummer.
Yet, it’s catchy as hell. Why? Well beyond rhyming “forget her” with “carburetor”, it’s also earnest while at the same time knowing just how dumb it is.
It’s a bad song, but those harmonies are killer. And it made roger a rich man since he begged Freddie to let it be the B side to Bohemian Rhapsody. Therefore it sold with that song and made a fortune for him. It’s not the worst thing ever but it’s pretty stupid.
