Freddie Mercury (5 September 1946 – 24 November 1991) was a British-Indian rock musician, best known as the lead singer and pianist of the English rock band Queen. He is remembered for his powerful vocal abilities and charisma as a live performer. As a songwriter, he composed many international hits, including "Killer Queen", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Somebody to Love", "We Are the Champions", "Bicycle Race", "Don't Stop Me Now", and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love".

Words and music by freddie mercury

Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
Im just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because Im easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesnt really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....

Answer 2

Freddie Mercury is the vocal of Queen, he was one of the best singers..

He says "Bismillah" in Bohemian Rhapsody its an Arabic word and it means "with god's name" if I remember right that is... He did not say anything about Islam, just this word..

It is a beautiful song and tells a story of someone just about the die..

Answer 3

Freddie Mercury was the stage name of Farrokh Bulsara, the lead singer of the rock group Queen. He died in 1991 from complications from AIDS.

A lot of people think the rock opera "Bohemian Rhapsody" is about someone drafted into the Vietnam war, and a lot of people think it's not really about anything, just lyrics written to fit the song.

Answer 4

He was there. Bohemian Rhapsody was released in 1975 on the album A Night at the Opera. Freddie Mercury got aids during a one year gap in their music career when the band was temporarily split up, this gap was in 1986. He died soon after wards, in the year 1991, and Queen was no more.

Answer 5

Freddie Mercruy was the lead singer of Queen. He died of AIDS and I believe he was a Zoroastrian. As a Muslim and a Queen fan, I can honestly say that the song is brilliant!

The song Bohemian Rhapsody contains the word 'Bismillah'. That's about the only thing that's about Islam in that song. The word was used as a filler phrase in the song, without ascribing any meaning to it. Other filler words include Galileo,Figaro, Magnifico.

Any Muslim who feels offended, please, have an open mind.You can't expect everyone to have the same view and value system as yourself. Chill, and enjoy the good music of Queen

Mamma mia, mamma mia, mamma mia let me go!
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me!

Queen...Simply Brilliant!

Answer 6

Freddy Mercury was the lead singer of the British Classic Rock group Queen from the 70s. Nowwhere in the song does he mention anything 'bout Islam but from what I've heard he was of indian descent im not sure whether he was muslim or not but the song definitely does no mentionof it at all!

Answer 7

Mercury is the late, great, lead singer fro the rock group Queen.

The song Bohemian Rhapsody is about a man on death row for murder. Rueing the life-path he has taken.

I don't see any relation to Islam.

Answer 8

I think Freddy was maybe ethnicaly Armenian but I've never heard any links between this song and Islam before. Looking forward to reading people's answers!
