Leer másThis marked the first time a Roger Taylor–penned Queen song was released as a single. Taylor composed the song on guitar, playing feedback noises during the break. There is also the notable use of record-scratching. The song was never performed in Europe, but a 1982 concert recording in Japan is available on the Queen on Fire – Live at the Bowl DVD.
Music video
The video is a parody of the George Lucas film THX 1138 featuring robots, and was rarely seen before being released on Greatest Video Hits 2 and the band`s official YouTube page. Both Taylor and Brian May openly expressed disdain for the video in their commentary for it, with Taylor claiming the song`s message had nothing to do with robots.
Personnel
- Freddie Mercury – lead and backing vocals
- Brian May – electric guitar
- Roger Taylor – drums, percussion, acoustic guitar, backing vocals
- John Deacon – bass guitar
Live recording
- Queen on Fire – Live at the Bowl (DVD)
- Hot Space (Bonus EP)
