Trivia alert! This is the first Queen song without the use of backing harmonies!
It’s also the first Jon Deacon song that I actually like. It’s a story song with a narrative about an underdog who wants to do something more with his life than just sweeping up the Emerald Bar.
Catchy hook, great vocals by Freddie. It’s a weak tune, but most of this album is, it would have to be downhill after Races’ masterwork status.
I never understood why Freddie would sing “Wery” for “Very” at some point of the song. More proof that the band is bored.
