Queen - I'm Going Slightly Mad (Lyrics)

[ImminentAndrea]

9 people went slightly mad.

[NoUsernameGoodSir]

I effing love this song. Everything about it is awesome.

[TheZaibatsuCorp]

The Madness was his aids.. it's finally happened..the end of all..

[exclusiiveBRAT]

Reminds me of a Halloween song.

[danieloparify]

esta cancion es ,o maximo

[worthy0ne]

Im not crazy, Im a fucking table.

[Hancockified]

7 people are going slightly mad

[MrShettyman]

oooh aaha ooohoo aaha

[marisa1988]

I'm going slightly mad so I'm off to kill 7 people.

[TheSamirMercury]

@marisa1988 Now 8 people :)

[concordetejas4576]

I'm 14 and I think this is way way better than the crap we have today.This is music and Freddie Mercury is a singer not Justin Bieber or anybody else. R I P FREDDIE

[Rockandrollrules19]

When you died..... the world died a little too for we lost a man whose ability in singing was never isn't and never will be matched or beaten ! we all love and miss u Freddie may your voice be the envy of all the angels in God's choir !!!

[Agnostyx13]

I don't get the meaning of all lyrics but each times I'm listening this song , I'm extremly sad . beautiful song though ....

[AlyaPattinson]

R.I.P Freddie .. from 90's people who still listen to this kind of epic music !

[lulzyandoli]

...7 people HAVE gone mad.

[shirosaki97]

@lulzyandoli 580 people have gone slightly mad, but that good mad which is quite funny and that everyone likes :p

[Twilightfreak425]

He was such a good man, it's a shame he is gone now. I wish I was born 2 see him perform I bet it would have been magical.

[gohanguy22]

god was too selfish and took him

[Stepi0087]

@Ridersonthestorm890 E secondo te ci starebbe allo scambio? XD

[2002tiif]

HELL YEAH,I'm a banana tree!~

[talkanater03]

.....haha, my theme song with one of my besties xD

[101McSteve]

Heaven's gain!!!

[TheThestinger]

the beat at the start sounds spooky

[MrTimooth]

@TheThestinger I think thats the point! :)

[MissNarnia98]

Oii! leave schatzowa alone! are u really complaining about a word? compared 2 one of the greatest singers death in the world? get a grip everyone!

[chas4551]

It's ironical that Schatzowa should make such an ironical comment that there is no such a word as ironical. Uneducated dick!

[alexandrualin17]

happy birthday freddy,you are our god

=)

[roo95lp]

im going slightly fan

[carmelle127]

I love Freddie, i love Freddie's voice, always have always will, yes his voice is perfect in this song as for all of his songs. But i couldn't rate this video after reading the lyrics it is simply too sad. He's saying how badly this horrible, cruel disease had ravage him. I am overwellmed i applaud and admire Freddie for never giving in like he said, but ican't rate this video it's just too sad for tumbs up and way way too great for tumbs down. It just kills me. Thank you my beautiful Freddie.

[pjaylett]

Love the guitar solo in this track. Brian plays it with great restraint.

[RumbleGuts2112]

i wonder how many true Queen fans realise this song is an homage to Pink Floyd - the one band that Freddy would have loved to have been involved with in some way :)

Peace

[pjaylett]

@RumbleGuts2112 The lyrics and the accompanying music video project the song as quirky, humorous and light-hearted, but the eerie keyboards and the unsettling instrumentation as well as part of the lyrics, reflect gloomier undertones, inspired by AIDS-induced dementia.

Actress Cleo Rocos has confirmed this notion, stating that Mercury had explained to her and mutual friend Kenny Everett that the song documents the tragic mental decline he suffered during the final years of his life.

[RumbleGuts2112]

@pjaylett I'm never scared of learning something new and after your explanation it kind of makes more sense than what i already believed. Cheers for that :)

Peace

[toniiii9]

Sad.Autobiography song for Freddie because he was realy mad because of AIDS.That is simptom of AIDS,they hawe psyhosis.

[JorikYerkin]

King of rock

[Yourmommaisacow]

Love this song!

Mum calls it my anthem cause she thinks I've completley lost it!

Haha. Then again I think i Have lol.

I love the end songs of queen before Freddie died, sad to think about but at the same time absolutley incredible how he carried on right til the moment he died. You don't see anyone doing that now.

Wish I could of seen you live....R.I.P <3

You are greatley missed.Xx

[letgomyeggo100]

I LOVES THIS VID!!!!!!!!!

[BljufKnjgh]

I'm only twelve, but I listen to Queen since I was like seven or eight. I totally love them and I wish I got the chance to see Freddie alive. :'(

[MrChrisdon]

@BljufKnjgh Hi there little queen fan, i know that we cant get the sound of freddie back,but the closest and best one too him is a group called flash Harry , they are playing in the odyssey arena in Belfast this january..... dont know what part of the country you are in or where your from... but if you cant make it to belfast then say to mum and dad that you would like to at some stage see Flash harry ( he preforms all over )

[BljufKnjgh]

@MrChrisdon Wow,thanx! I'll try :)

[WiggaMachiavelli]

@BljufKnjgh

Nobody cares about you being twelve. Stop being twelve and start being quiet.

[BljufKnjgh]

@WiggaMachiavelli You have a problem with me or something? o.O

[LeetaMaybe]

@BljufKnjgh no I think it's that there are so many comments on rock videos like "I'm only 12 and I have good taste" "I'm only 15" "I'm 16 and I hate Justa Beaver" that we get tired of hearing about it. nothin personal.

[BljufKnjgh]

@LeetaMaybe I wasn't trying to say "that I have a good taste", I expressed my age only 'beacuse I wanted to say how sad I am because I didn't get to see freddie alive. Got it?

[LeetaMaybe]

@BljufKnjgh smaller person; don't get upset. like I said, nothing personal. I'm 16 I know how you feel. here's a virtual hug > < feel better?

[BljufKnjgh]

@LeetaMaybe Hahah sure :) :P

[Ohmegoosh]

@BljufKnjgh Me too! :(

[DjLeo2201]

6 people are not going to be slightly mad :D

[DayDreamer57xx]

<3



[hoptop090]

i'm a banana tree...

[marsvin11]

and gee... i thought the lyrics was

im knitting with only ONE needle

rabbeling fast as TWO

im driving only THREE wheels these days.

but... then again, im Danish!

[FaithyGIRL99]

At the beginning, the 'doo..doo..doo..doo" is copied by Lady GaGa in her "Edge of Glory" at the beginning. :/ So sad.

[Cristianl123]

@FaithyGIRL99 i watched the video because of your comment and i can say it doesn't sound like this intro

[maral1004]

I'm really mad!! Super mad! XD

[louieah12]

Innuendo Was Like The Sadest Album Queen Released

[Ninimini999]

If ever I have to do a song for something (not singing, I can't

sing (but even then, actually))(Like playbacking or dancing or whatever) It WILL be a Queen song. Even though all my classmates will think I'm weird, I know that I'm so much cooler than them and Queen is the best ever! ( See, even young people can love old music more than anything else (Believe me, I am very young))

[hotelmario510]

This song is about his AIDS dementia. I feel sad now.

[karrasfather]

6 people are going slightly mad.

[TheDellanator]

I want to peform this on one of our talent show things in school a few years to come :)

[SuperTakoyin4]

I think im a banana tree

[Angel0fSleep]

Incredible song by and incredible band.

[HLecterPHD]

I will play this solo some day.

[18Katracho]

Dear Lord, I offer you a good pair of Jonahs brothers and very healthy Justing bieber and a slightly mad Lady gaga for just ONE Freddie Mercury. Please accept the offer. Sincerely, Queen fans.

[ZeroTheHeartlessKing]

@18Katracho sorry but i don't think that offer will be good enough XD (the jonahs brothers and justin beaver? no one would trade them for anything unless we are the ones that had to pay XD)

[scorpyaforever]

@18Katracho I'm with you!!! 100%....and if God thing that is not much for a chance....i have many other name's:D.

[LennMcCarHarrStarr]

@18Katracho If I were god, I wouldn't want bieber...

[AWastedAron]

@18Katracho God here. Would you take 4 rocks in exchange for a gold bar? No? Well neither will I.

[sonofsparda135]

@18Katracho That shouldn't be a deal, it should be more like a threat, like "LISTEN TO ME YOU GOD, YOU SEND US FREDDY MERCURY OR WE SEND YOU JUSTIN BIEBER AND THE JONAS BROTHERS, ARE WE CLEAR?"

[18Katracho]

@sonofsparda135 Yeah Right....lol



[JaceyDemy]

@18Katracho ...you know Gaga was a Queen fan and took her name from Radio Gaga, right? For that, I think she can be spared...

[18Katracho]

@JaceyDemy Ummmmkay, We'll give her another chance and offer him iCarly or something. LOL

[DislikedCoyote]

@18Katracho Every other singer < Freddie Mercury.

[deeplysubmissive1]

@18Katracho hhahahahaaaahahahhahahhaaa you are absolutely right

[PonySWAG13]

@18Katracho ^That guy has stolen my heart.

[mad1alina]

@18Katracho God doesn't have ears for your pray: he is listening Queen in his headphones.

(Freedy is worth more than that useless garbage polluting our hearing.)

[Eidrialediz79]

@18Katracho he will not take trash, but good to have a try

[JrosiOnline]

@18Katracho are you kidding me? God would NEVER do that deal... Jonas Brothers for Freddie? ... That's like trying to buy diamonds with potatoes ...

[xxxPurplexGirlxxx]

@18Katracho That's like trading dog shit for gold...

[Sweetgirly171]

One of my fave songs by Queen.

[Haizeel]

this song reminds me of Muse.. the rhythm, the melody.. xD

could b juz me tho

altho Muse is not my fav band of all.. RIP Freddie

[Nooblet68]

@Nooblet68 No, this is an epic song, and you being a Nooblet is proving you wrong!

[grungerocksoul]

@gameguru456 you're an ass.

[MrJosiebhoy]

an ultimate showman-rip freddie

[gameguru456]

if he never stuck his dick up another guys rectum he could be still making classic songs like that nowadays !!!

[johnnyohness]

@gameguru456 Stupidity still abounds, and you are proof positive. You don't get it by sticking your dick up another guys rectum any more than you get it from doing the same to a chick. You don't have a clue how Freddie got aids. Tell me this if I fucked you would I get aids? Tell me exactly how that would happen. I want to know all the details. There are many ways to get aids. You are the reason there are T/Baggers in this country. Ignorance breeds lemmings.

[MSTISHAX]

@gameguru456 well for one it was his choice to do second that's not how he got aids he got it from a dirty needle learn a little more kid then come back to us and do your little preaching thing ok

[lady66ful]

ein fantastischer song und wer den text versteht: BRAVO!!

[Ashloomis]

Religion.

[Scourgeoftheearth]

you know it is because of reporter diggin yo deep into peoples lives that some of the greatest artists in the world are never recognized. That in itselve is bad but misguided preconceptions often lead to the most idiotic of useless wastes of talent.

[coolhellu]

Freddie <3 I think I dont have the need to say more :D

Brian <3 no one talks about him..:D Love them both :D And offcourse Queen :)

[EffingStudent]

Who else absolutely loves the way he says 'My Dear'..? <3

[pugilistofpower]

I miss you Freddie. Now more than ever.

[kelseyhm]

AW dont worry so am I :D

[Emma8887]

I don't think I'm a banana tree. I KNOW I am one.

[ZXRulezzz]

Queen is the best!

Watching their collection on good old VHS right now ^^

[TheBlueberryMan1]

5 people are WAY more than slightly mad

[The2002DNA]

Even in his final years, Freddie never missed to give a laugh to whoever needed one. This song touches on AIDS-induced dementia (hence, he's going slightly mad).

[mersouled]

pure genius - anybody can get me the a capella?? pleaaase!!

[galenperkins1]

the best singer still, Freddie Mercury

[MsFatma76]

möchte gerne den deutschen untertitel. pardon, bin nicht sprachbegabt! hm is so

[PandaStoleMyBrother]

I was listening to this song when I choked on some candy....

Talk about going mad...

[laflugantabastardo]

Queen is one of those rare bands that has tackled subjects besides interpersonal relationships and actually managing to not only do that well, but also make the songs (such as this one and Bicycle Race) funny and above all - really really likable. Unique.

[louleja]

thats just what i am feeling right now....

[TheSuperDude2009]

Everyone, Queen has fallen! The last of the classic, well made music is crumbling as well. Soon our world will be filled with the earsore that everyone calls excellent music.

But is the modern music 'excellent', or is it just hippy-hoppy trash that is being accepted into the mainstream! The lyrics are meaningless and untasteful, the beat is shredded and unevenly placed. The tune is annoying and repetitive! What song am I talking about? ALL MODERN RAP of course. Everything is rap now. We'll Fall

[shewolfallie]

@TheSuperDude2009 your right :(. but as long as people luck us keep it alive Queen will never die!!!!!!!!

[iilaiel]

@TheSuperDude2009

The problem is that is still full of good artist but no major is investing on the... you have to find them by very alterntive channels.

Minsteam "music" now days is not mean to give antything, just to dull people.

[TheFreddie39]

I love this Song i can hear it thousand times

I am going slightly mad = I am going to be crazy ;)

[Supercharge87]

The first time I ever heard this song was when I was driving on a hot summer day about 7 years ago. Perfect song for a heat wave that drains you physically and mentally.

[TheMichaelaevans123]

Me and my dad are going slightly mad!!!!

[MrJuha82]

Top15-20 song by Queen.

Chorus is cool, interesting.

[palatena]

Queen of rock!!!

[spmpnj]

just started kemo treatments for cancer. leave it to queen to capture how I feel. i really miss freddie :(

[boemioofworld]

@spmpnj I hope you better now :)

[ilikeurshirt95]

wow i love this song! this is like my theme song lol

yesterday i was so stressed n pissed to the point were i start laughing and i randomly start singing this song

[WallAlfyan]

@ilikeurshirt95 LOL!! I've done the same thing!! It helps me deal with the stress of life...

[MrChrisdon]

Christopher is glad he is in house alone lol Freddie would be up there laughing at my singing lol a frog is the closest thing i think.

[MrChrisdon]

@ Darkyodajedi never a better word said.. The man was the best,even death looming could not stop him.. so it just proves folks that in this life you Do not let anything beat you.. keep fighting and make him proud.

[Darkyodajedi]

This demonstrates the greatness of Freddie, facing certain death and he provides epic songs like this, Mother Love, The show must go on and Those were the days of our lives! Could throw in Headlong but just wanted to toss the quick ones off the top of my head. I believe his best work came once he learned of his illness and devoted his energies to assisting humanity in the ascension process, transformation of consciousness if you will!

[Whatever24Trevor]

Hang on...I AM a banana tree

And I'm only driving on one wheel these days.

How about you?

[Grimmlin3]

i cant remember, whats the name of the song when they go, I want to ride my bycycle i want to ride my bike.

[RockandrollN64]

Bicycle Race.

[Voypoy]

Bicycle race :)

[HLecterPHD]

Daddys hat has fallen off as mark corrigan would say.

[dcd1248]

Sing Along if you know the words,

for we all know this songs about life and what it does to people

[acoger]

hmmmm..everybody goes slightly mad.....just look at you as you grow up

[Schatzowa]

Saddest song of all and such a self-ironical in the face of death... would have loved to see you becoming older, Freddie.

Miss you...

[luluthesynesthete]

yeah, it would of. I'm sure music would have gotten better instead of worse...

It's sort of like without Freddie music just wilted :-/

[DelilahLou89]

@Schatzowa True! Very Self-ironical!

[Mopsburg]

So right. We miss you so!!

[ivix931]

@Schatzowa i totally agree with you for all.

[Killenwolf]

@Schatzowa IRONICAL ISN"T A WORD GO DIE NOW!!!!!!!

[vvk0]

@Killenwolf Yes it is, I checked several dictionaries and they recognise it as a synonym for "ironic".

[jessypetenutbearwent]

Love this song i think i'm a banana tree

[adzafilms]

this songs about me

XD who really gives a shit

[SuckMeSidewaysx]

I LOVE THIS SONG !

Freddie was gorjus! x

[QueenBismillah]

It doesn't seem Freddie's voice... but Freddie's infinite.

I love him.

[codebabe]

mmm...being that freddie is the most versatile vocalist of all time, he really doesn't have a set voice, but it still obviousy freddie.

[WorldOfJane]

We had to do an audition in my drama school for a woman whos "Off beat" I sung this song and got the part xD

[MissPerfectionist14]

Awesome! What play/ musical was it?

[WorldOfJane]

It was one written by the drama class :)

[MissPerfectionist14]

[LasseMoelhede]

Love this song-- think it might be #1 favorite though I haven't found any I don't like

[sholafly]

i think im a banana tree

[mascaltzone7]

the black background completes this song

[feindbildnr188]

LoL... You dont have to "complete" a queen song... A queen song is already completed if Freddie singst it^^

Anyway, the "black background" makes it sound much better...

(I´m sory if my english isnt the best, i´m from germany) QUEEN ROCKS!!!

[arsenal4everNever]

trust me,your english is good.

[feindbildnr188]

Ok... But i forgot an "R" in sorRy^^

[AllxJules]

La verdad es que no comprendo al 100% lo que quiere decir la cancion, pero al saber que es de Queen, debe ser un temon. Ademas que las melodias son perfectas, ohh, God save the Queen!

[shadowman253]

Tanto esta cancion como otras canciones que contiene el album Innuendo, expresan la determinacion de Freddie antes de fallecer, escucha esta, junto con la de The Show Must Go on, y la de These are the days of our lives, y encontraras un significado mas concreto, eso es, por decir el ingrediente principal de sus canciones en si.

[javialpalo]

habla un poco de la locura, quizas sobre lo que freddie estaba pasando antes de su muerte, un poco habla tambien de evadir que realmente se estaba muriendo y preferir mejor volverse loco y olvidarse como mecanismo de defensa lo que estaba sufriendo, ba eso es lo que pienso! un saludo.

[23GreyRaven23]

Oh, I love this song. It's the perfect thing to have on your iPod, and then start singing it randomly anywhere; walking through the mall, in the post office, walking down the street, or just at the dinner table to creep out your family! ^.^

[javialpalo]

whats means unrravelling fast its true? bye .

[odinfromcentr2]

@23GreyRaven23 That... is actually one hell of a hilarious thought! Someone needs to put someone doing that here at some point!

[lineikatabs]

love it million times more :D

[miravril2710]

love it...

[xstarlightx14]

ommg this is one of my fave queen songs love it =D , queeen will go down in history

[kento369]

[jowanka01]

I luv this song...
