Bagpipes...

Musical Instrument or Waterboarding of the Tympanic Membrane?

Time well spent or time irretrievably wasted?

Do you run from the sight or sound of it or do you stay because of it?

Music, its presentation and/or its lyircs can mean many things to many people and above all, nothing to anyone...and all that hear interpret the same to mean differently.

Find the posting on song lyrics and what was really sung in the original versions vs. what we, on the forum, THOUGHT the lyrics were...

Just recently, "Agent Man" came up...I heard the song just a few days ago by the original warbler...and it sounds dang close to "Asian Man" to me...although I knew it to be "...Secret Agent Man, Secret Agent Man. They're giving you a number and takin' away your name..."

Just how popular would that tune have been if it was done in bagpipes?

Do you know the difference between a bagpipe and a violin?

Nobody cries when you burn a bagpipe.

A built in remedy, for Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation, you can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime, ooh
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation, she spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China, went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally, if you're that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Drop of a hat she's a willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild..
She's all out to get you

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime, ooh
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try

In the New Musical Express November 2, 1974, the song's writer Freddie Mercury elucidates on this song: "It's about a high class call girl. I'm trying to say that classy people can be whores as well. That's what the song is about, though I'd prefer people to put their interpretation upon it - to read into it what they like."
