Fridge Brilliance

  • "Bohemian Rhapsody" has foreign words like "Bismillah!" and "Scaramouche" doing the Fandango. Yet, if Beelzebub was sending demons after me, I'd be using Middle Eastern prayers too.

Fridge Horror

  • This depends entirely on how much you read into the line about being left alone with Fanny the naughty nanny of Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls", but if read a certain way it becomes a statement that Fanny was in fact a child sexual abuser.
  • The guitarist for Queen, Brian May, wrote the song "'39". In a DVD commentary, he mentioned that it's based on the idea that the faster you go, the more time slows down. So the astronauts came back to Earth after a year in their time to find a century has passed planet-side. Thus, the line "Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me." becomes fridge... sorrow?
  • It's speculated that "I'm Going Slightly Mad" from Innuendo is about Freddie's AIDS-aggravated dementia. Black Humour, perhaps, but chilling in retrospect.
