queenin 1991 çıkışlı son albümü olan innuendonun hem sona kendisini hazırlayan mükemmel freddie mercury yorumuyla hem de ancak queen'e yakışacak nitelikte insanı içine sıkıştıran inceliklte yapısıyla,ilk defa dinlediğim andan itibaren müptelası olduğum mükemmel şarkı..
sözleri ise şöyledir:
when the outside temperature rises
and the meaning is oh so clear
one thousand and one yellow daffodils
begin to dance in front of you - oh dear
are they trying to tell you something?
you're missing that one final screw
you're simply not in the pink my dear
to be honest you haven't got a clue
i'm going slightly mad
i'm going slightly mad
it finally happened - happened
it finally happened - ooh oh
it finally happened - i'm slightly mad
oh dear!
i'm one card short of a full deck
i'm not quite the shilling
one wave short of a shipwreck
i'm not at my usual top billing
i'm coming down with a fever
i'm really out to sea
this kettle is boiling over
i think i'm a banana tree
oh dear, i'm going slightly mad
i'm going slightly mad
it finally happened, happened
it finally happened uh huh
it finally happened i'm slightly mad - oh dear!
i'm knitting with only one needle
unraveling fast its true
i'm driving only three wheels these days
but my dear how about you?
i'm going slightly mad
i'm going slightly mad
it finally happened
it finally happened oh yes
it finally happened
i'm slightly mad!
just very slightly mad!
and there you have it!
aids yüzünden tanınmaz hale gelen freddie'nin, "these are the days of our lives" klibinde olduğu gibi, makyaj-kostüm oyunlarıyla klibi çekilebilen depresif şarkı.
