"You Don`t Fool Me" is a song by British rock band Queen from their 15th and final studio album, Made in Heaven (1995).

The song is one of the few which were actually written and recorded after the Innuendo sessions, and was written and composed by the band, under David Richards` supervision.

Background
Leer más"You Don`t Fool Me" was one of the last tracks recorded for the album Made in Heaven and came about in a most unusual way. Brian May has explained on his website[2] that the producer for the band, David Richards, more or less created the framework of the song single-handedly, building from bits of lyrics recorded just before Freddie Mercury`s death. May has said that before Richards` work, there was no song to speak of. However, after Richards edited and mixed the song (including a bit of harmonies recorded for "A Winter`s Tale"), he presented it to the remaining members of the band. Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon then added their instruments and backing vocals and were surprised to end up with a finished song that had begun as nothing. The style of the song is reminiscent of their 1982 album Hot Space, and a comment over that featured on their Greatest Hits III album.
Music video
The video is set in a night club where a young man encounters his former girlfriend and recounts the memories of their brief relationship. The theme of the song could possibly be a continuation of the story set up by earlier Queen songs "Play the Game" and "It`s a Hard Life".
