Vorgeschichte[]
Wie die anderen Songs schrieb May auch diesen im Krankenhaus. Dieser nimmt Bezug auf die Amerikatour mit Mott The Hoople. "Die Tour durch Amerika [...] hat mich umgehauen. Ich war beeindruckt von der Rockkultur in Amerika.", erklärte einst May. In der Zeile "Down in the dungeon just peaches 'n' me" ("Unten im Kerker, nur Peaches und ich") spielt May auf ein Treffen mit einer Peaches im französischen Viertel von New Orleans an, das Queen nach dem Konzert am 21. April 1974 besuchte. Dieses Treffen hatte May irritiert, der damals noch mit seiner Freundin Chrissie Mullen zusammen war. Im Song It's Late nimmt er erneut Bezug zu diesem Treffen.
Aufnahme[]
Der Song wurde im September 1974 in den Trident Studios in London aufgenommen. Das Intro ist geprägt von Roy Thomas Bakers Klangexperimenten.. Er verwendet bei Mercurys Stimme ein Delay, um seine Worte zu wiederholen und die Satzenden im Kanon zu harmonisieren, dieselbe Technik, die May bei seinem Solo live nutzt. Das Riff des Songs ist eine Hommage an den Rock 'n' Roll der 50er-Jahre. Nicht nur das Gitarrenoutro, welches live um einiges Länger ist, ist eine Hommage an Chuck Berry, auch Freddies Zeile am Ende des Songs: "Go, go, go Little Queenie" stammt aus dem Refrain von Berrys Song Little Queenie, der 1959 erschien.
Fun Fact[]
In Top Of The Pops vom 16. Januar 1975 nutzt May wieder nicht seine Red Special, sondern eine Gibson Les Paul.
