From: Songfacts.com Freddie Mercury wrote this and dedicated it to Norman Sheffield, Queen's former manager and a co-owner of Trident Studios. Queen felt that Norman had not provided them with the support they needed, and so Mr. Sheffield and the band parted company prior to the recording of A Night At The Opera. The split occurred under very acrimonious circumstances, and this song acted as something of a final word from the band. The lyrics form a harsh character portrait that outline the band's full animosity towards their former acquaintance. (thanks, Andy - Sacramento, CA) On the Live Killers version, Freddy Mercury introduced this song by saying, "This is a song about a real motherf--ker of a gentleman!" It was concealed by 3 bleeps to avoid legal issues. (thanks, Jonathon - Clermont, FL) More information, you could watch the latest Queen Documentary, Queen: Days of Our Lives by BBC Two.
