  General Comment:Interesting. Its about sex, but its sung in such a beautiful, passionate way, the completely opposite way that a lot of the modern songs about sex are played (im referring to the modern crappy pop songs that are built on materialism).
  Its also interesting because Queen's early discography was very progressive rock, and their later discography was more heavy metal (the glam metal/hard rock form of heavy metal in particular). But this song seems to be in between as it claims attributes of both discographies (the long guitar solo courtesy of the heavy metal genre and the piano to drum syncronization courtesy of the progressive rock genre) this song could've been the point where Queen's early progressive rock discography began to give way to their later heavy metal discography.

  General Comment:It's a song about sex between a man and a woman, and it comes from the most talented gay musician who ever lived (and one of the most talented period!) It's basically a song that is saying I JUST WANNA HAVE SEX, and I'm all for this song;)

    It is NOT. Thanks for the laugh, though. When he sings about having a ball he doesn't mean his family jewels. In fact, he talks about making a "supersonic woman" out of someone, so he plans to have himself a partner, which is far more fun than what you're talking about. I had never heard this Queen song until I saw it here, so thank you. I miss Freddy's music, and how he stuck out among other musicians...such creativity and life in one man.

  General Comment:my favorite part of the song
  
  "I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
  On a collision course
  I am a satellite, I'm out of control
  I am a sex machine ready to reload
  Like an atom bomb about to
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, explode"

  General Comment:All out hedonism!
  
  But you don't have to live life as a "sex machine" to enjoy this song. Just have fun!

  General Comment:If you've ever seen their documentary Queen: Days of Our Lives, Brian May kind of explains it. Freddie at this time was becoming extremely promiscuous and attending gay bars and participating in orgies. He wrote this song as a response to his band mates who were trying to get him to slow down.
  
  So while not every Queen song is about homosexuality, this one clearly is.

  General Comment:how can anyone get confused about this song?
  its so obviously just about being really up for a proper mental night out - excited about it to the point of exploding
  
  it always like to imagine freddy and kenny everett (they were mates) on a night out
  
  in the song freddys saying - im soo up for a big one tonight dont bother coming if youre gonna be borign - no-ones gonna put a downer on it im going large!!!
  
  and no doubt itll involve 80s gay club grade ecstacy (as mentioned in the lyrics) and a bit of sex - but thats just by the by really - the song is about the excitement of a big fun night out freddys got planned
  
  also its not a selfish attitude of
  oh i wanna have a good time
  oh no, he wants to share the good times - so much in fact he wants to make a
  'supersonic woman/man out of you'
  
  like he knows hes in an infectiously good mood and if you give him a call and come out you really are gonna have an amazing time
  
  oh ok i have got to mention the sex machine line - i dont think the song is about sex, he is being metaphorical here same as when he says hes a rocket ship on a collision course
  
  but its such a great line...
  "a sex machine ready to reload"
  i like it cos male sexual imagery is so often portrayed at aiming towards orgasm as a final goal
  
  here he's using the metaphor of a sex machine thats already reached climax - and is now gearing up to go again!!!!
  
  GO FREDDY!!! - youre a f*****g legend!!!!

  General Comment:This song is about rolling on ecstasy. There is no such thing as a bad time while on ecstasy. 200 degrees (body heats up), sex machine (horny, speed of light (fast dancing.

    That is what we always thought. Queen is the best music for rolling.

    No it is not a reference to the drug. The term 'ecstasy' for MDMA did not start being used until the mid-80s.The song was written in 1978
