I don't think this has been shared here yet. I like it! Is this the first song named after a member of Queen?

I dig it, though I can’t quite make out the words. Still, a good groove and tight production. I’ll be checking these guys’ catalog out a bit more. Thanks for sharing!

Nice one. It made me think of when Nirvana namechecked a Queen member in Smells Like Teen Spirit... |

Thank you! Perhaps this composition was the first one named after the Queen member (the name is spelled wrong intentionally?) - it is dated back to 1981. Thanks to one of my friends on social networks (hi Andrew) for the find. www.discogs.com/release/3466357-De-Cylinders-Freddy-MercuryEnglish is not my native language, and to be honest, I can't quite make out the text. The song seems rather humorous and without any reverence. Lead guitar part (starts at 01'26" in the attached video) seems to be styled after Brian   |

Discount shopping
It can't be Looks like Freddie Mercury
Buying at the grocery store
Hear him ask for vegetables To keep his vocals flexible England's biggest sex symbol Winter, spring, summer and fall
There goes Freddie Mercury Shopping in the grocery
See him grab the margarine Acting like a sex machine Whistling she's a Killer Queen A song we all recall
There goes Freddie Mercury
Shopping in the grocery
Twinings tea to Chinese tea* They all look the same to me As long as Freddie Mercury is standing where they go As long as Freddie Mercury is standing where they go
There goes Freddie Mercury
Shopping in the grocery
Hear him ask for vegetables
To keep his vocals flexible
England's biggest sex symbol
Winter, spring, summer and fall
There goes Freddie Mercury
Shopping in the grocery
*This is the only line I'm not sure about. My original guess was "Twinings tea to shine his teeth" and I also considered "twenty teas to shine his teeth" but her accent makes it quite hard for me to be sure.

Thanks for sharing! Now we just need a song named after Roger Taylor to complete the set. |

I dig it, though I can’t quite make out the words. Still, a good groove and tight production. I’ll be checking these guys’ catalog out a bit more. Thanks for sharing! Let me translate. It goes something like this: Scub booba da dee, do wha de dup dup pitta patta mitta matta beeba doo da, John Deacon Catchy as fuck, but no idea what the hell he's saying. |

It goes something like this: Scub booba da dee, do wha de dup dup pitta patta mitta matta beeba doo da, John Deacon Catchy as fuck, but no idea what the hell he's saying. Sorry guys, I thought I'd already posted the lyrics - they were in the description of the video on YouTube so I didn't have to manually decipher them like the Dutch Freddie song:
VERSE 1
Tall and wanton she pulls you in
Teeth that shine and wholly light up her grin
Second to none when you run the numbers of her sins
Crying would be just fine when you waste time on her love
That soul’s elation when you get your shot (with her)
Concrete foundation just to lose what you got
All that huggin, kissin, lovin that you want
All comes at the cost of you giving up
CHORUS
She’s thumpin like John Deacon in service to the queen
Her lights in all their height have been played for a dream
You know she don’t love you, ah but damn does she want
She’s thumpin like John Deacon as long as you give up
VERSE 2
Just pray you break from her hypnotic shake
Her electric buzz will make you jump and gyrate
She wants it all and she wants a little more
She’s dragging your standards all across the floor
That soul’s elation when you get your shot (with her)
Concrete foundation just to lose what you got
All that huggin and kissin and lovin that you want
All comes at the cost of you giving up
CHORUS (x2)
She’s thumpin like John Deacon in service to the queen
Her lights in all their height have been played for a dream
You know she don’t love you, ah but damn does she want
She’s thumpin like John Deacon as long as you give up
BRIDGE
She’s thumpin like John Deacon in service to the queen
Her lights in all their height have been played for a dream
You know she don’t love you, ah but damn does she want
She’s thumpin like John Deacon as long as you give up
CHORUS (x2)
She’s thumpin like John Deacon in service to the queen
Her lights in all their height have been played for a dream
You know she don’t love you, ah but damn does she want
She’s thumpin like John Deacon as long as you give up
