This is the first single they released that was written by Roger. How can that be on their 9th album, when he wrote such awesome songs before like Tenement Funster, Fight From the Inside and Fun It??
This is still an awesome song though! Queen Rock !!
She's got to be one of the three luckiest people in all of history- having Freddie singing to her like that. Sitting on the floor with the greatest singer of all existence dictating a message of Love, for all to hear, God i envy her for that.
l Love Queen!!!! Hot space was very good!!! those who say it is a bad album, is because they don´t really like Queen. I love Freddie´s voice!!!! so sweet, i love everything about him.
Roger Taylor recently called this video "bloody stupid" I can't see what Robots have got to do with soong either but there you go, but I like the track.
To paraphrase someone from the Song Meanings site...
"The video sure looked to me like a metaphor for homosexuality - you know, a plea for freedom and tolerance for male-male love couched in the image of a repressive future world where all love is forbidden (the robot love police, etc.)"
"Notice how the girl who Freddie's talking to about love looks exactly like a boy from the perspective of the people coming into the room, and you actually can't tell she's a girl until the close-up"
I feel ashamed, I call myself a massive Queen Fan. Thats my favourite song of Hot Space and I never new it had a video. SHOCKING... Well on the bright side after just watching it "i loved it" going to see if I can find anymore rare things now.
The sci-fi theme must have come from Roger Taylor, since he was into this stuff. Interesting video, and actually the first official single from Taylor (excepting the B-side "I'm In Love With My Car"). What's interesting is that after this album, Taylor had at least one single per album... in order: "Radio Ga-Ga," "Kind of Magic," "Breakthru," "Invisible Man" and "These Are the Days of Our Lives."
This is such a GREAT quirky pop song - it's a real shame that it was not supported by the record company and fully released as a single and video. The classic THX1138 film was early 70s, so the video director was inspired by George Lucas; not vice versa. :)
THX-1138 was about a dystopian world where all emotions, desires, particularly sexual desires are suppressed with drugs. Freddie Mercury, as THX, rises up to challenge the status quo, and wins (but with a little help from his mates). George Lucas would be proud.
It's a programmed image resembling Christ called OMM (this is from Lucas's movie). The image used is Hans Memling's painting "Christ Giving His Blessing".
Roger wrote this one I believe... and quite will I might add. Queen are like the Beatles in that they could have recorded "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and it would have sounded awesome.
In case you haven't seen THX 1138, George Lucas's first film, you'll never get from where they got the inspiration for this. Too bad THX 1138 has nothing in common with the lyrics of this song.
This man is the most beautiful man I have ever seen in my life. And I am sure I will never see a more beautiful man till the day I die. He is So beautiful inside and out. Everything about him is beautiful. And how lucky are the people who met him. That's my reason to say God is not fair
Not a bad song but it wouldn't work as a single, I assume it was released as one in some territories as this video was made. What on earth the video has to with the song is anyones guess!
I politely disagree. This is the Queen song I can NEVER get out of my head. I believe with a great video this would be huge in it's time... but that's just me.
Well, don't they just act like a couple? I mean, when they're pictured together, they kinda look like lost into each other. It's the same with Freddie and John.
Gosh I must be one hell of an asshole then. Darling please try to forgive me my sick sense of humour. Cause without your forgiveness it's just impossible for me to go on.
This video is just weird I remember seeing very small snipets of this from the Promo of The Show Must Go On Video they should have beaten the crap out of the robots.
I agree. The video for The Show Must Go On was the first time I saw clips from this video.
It's why I liked watching the Greatest Flix II video (in the early '90s) because up to that point, I hadn't seen certain Queen videos (Scandal, Princes of the Universe and Back Chat) so it always intrigued my imagination as to what happened in the entirety of the videos.
Yeah, what he said... this video is a total "homage" to THX-1138. Hadn't seen this video in ages, and even then only once probably, and I'd totally forgotten the video was like this... pretty cool... and I always liked the song.
I love the face Brian makes when they're in the white room and Freddie's on the bed. Haha! There's something about Queen videos that make you want to watch them over and over again.
Because that's the way he wanted to look. If he was happy with the mustache and his hair short, then you as a fan - more so as a fellow human being - should accept that. The way he looks isn't our choice.
No it's not. Queen were very brave to make a move from rock and roll to disco when they made the Hot Space album. And the song and its video actually rock. And if it offends you, don't watch it.
