| Queen – Mustapha Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Okay, He WAS Indian. Like you said, "Parsis are form Iran and they kinda traveled". Freddie's ancestors had traveled to India. His father worked with the British government, since India was a British colony at the time. He worked overseas, though, in Zanzibar, also a British colony then. So that's where dear ol' Freddie was born and he was sent to school in India. The rest we know. Anyway, except for the "Salaam Aleikum" apart and the name "Mustapha Ibrahim", the rest of the lyrics are absolute nonsense. They don't mean anything at all. But I like this song. After listening to it about 3-4 times, you can even sing along with the meaningless words.. |

| Queen – I Want It All Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The lines "I want it all and I want it NOW" come from Anita, Brian May's wife. (They weren't married then) But anyways, it's about youthful ambition - sort of rebellious, young people creating a revolution, feeling that teh ycan change the world. I love how they wrote songs about sooooooo many different things. Look at Somebody to Love, Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy, You Take My Breath Away, You're My Best Friend, Love of My Life, Save Me - to name a few. They are all love songs, really, but they are all sooooo different. The last two are both kinda "heartbreak" songs - about a relationship falling apart. But they are also extremely different. I love that about Queen. |

Great song. I agree with the "boy who cried wolf" interpretation. But even if you don't look at the meaning, the song is simply great! It's really sad to see how everyone gives credit only to Freddie' vocals and Brian's "red-specialing". What about the great drums, eh? Don't tell me you don't love the drums, especially in the intro! And no-one even mentioned John's massive string plucking! The bass rocks throughout the song, especially the little bass solo. |
