I like like "Don't Try suicide". (...taking cover)

I really like the song.

Also, it's part of Made In Heaven with the YEAHHHH sample! 😀

I like it too. Especially the bridge (you need help, look at yourself...)
The wild vocal harmony on ‘it’s o- kay-o kay-o kay gets me in the right spot It’s a cool song, don’t care if someone doesnt’t like it. Different tastes. I love Hot Space too 😂

The Game is one of my favorite albums, possibly my favorite. The one track I have never been fond of is this one. But lately, as I've been listening to the album, I've come to like the track. I have never been a fan of the lyrics and I've always wondered what came first on this track (the music or the lyrics), because I do dig melody and construction of the song. It's definitely grown on me.

It's one of the very few Queen that I truly dislike. The lyrics seem like they're trying to be funny but it feels like an in-joke that I'm not privy to so none of it lands. The different sections sound like they've been haphazardly cobbled together. Abrupt transitions can be good of course but something about the way DTS jumps from one bit to the next just does not work for me. I even dislike the vocals; the rockabilly thing Freddie does is fun and charming in Crazy Little Thing but in Don't Try Suicide it gets obnoxious. There are so many weird hiccups and odd vocal inflections that he seems like he's trying too hard.

That "You got it" bit in particular is sounds super gross and ugly to me in the worst way.

Honestly, it feels like it was supposed to be a throwaway B-side but wound up getting thrown on the album to fill time.

Other folks seem to enjoy it, which is cool, but nothing about it lands for me at all.

The one thing I like about it is that it eventually resulted in "Yeah," which is a towering musical achievement the likes of which few musicians could ever hope to conceive of.

The bolded section is exactly what I agree with. Personally, I don't mind the song to some extent (if I'm listening to The Game I won't skip past it), but I don't go out of my way to listen to it. There are elements to it that I like, but it really seems like it's more of a throwaway B-side that the band put on the album.

B-side to AOBTD in US/Canada.

I think it's a weak track too - but they have weaker. sound production on this one is what keeps me interested. just focus on john's bass and go from there. ignore the vocals.

The Game is one of my favourites, but this is one I tend to skip over. Musically it's okay, but lyrically it's pish.

I think A Human Body is a far superior track although the second side of the album already has two Roger songs.

Yeah, if Human Body had replaced Suicide then the album would have had three Roger songs and only two Freddie songs.

Freddie ran out of Ideas on Hot Space, but his writing was decent on The Works. It's A Hard Life wasn't the big hit on the album, but It's my favorite. Keep Passing The Open Windows was good, and Is This The World We Created co written with Brian was nice. Roger and John came up with the big hits, but Freddie and Brian still wrote the most songs. Brian's I Go Crazy was a nice edition to the album.

As a manic depressive in the rain, Don't Try Suicide is one of my 20 favorite queen songs.

As a sucker for upbeat songs with dark lyrics, I love it.

I enjoy the song as well. I always assumed that the 'yeah' on MIH was sampled from Action This Day (second verse), but indeed the 'yeah' in Don't Try Suicide also sounds very similar!

I think it's generally well-written, well-performed and well-produced, but I still don't like it, out of purely subjective reasons (it doesn't strike a chord with me, that's all).
