A FAN of Queen has realised that everything about the band is ridiculous.
Roy Hobbs, who has been listening to the group for 30 years, said: “I always assumed I loved Queen, but kept having this niggling thought that their music is cheesy glam rock they’re playing just to amuse themselves.
“I knew this couldn’t be true so I put on their 1978 album Jazz, only to be reminded it was indeed full of stuff like Bicycle Race and Fat Bottomed Girls, which are basically novelty songs.
“Then I listened to The Works, which features some drivel about machines – who don’t feel love or hate – taking over the world.
“This reminded me of their musical, We Will Rock You, where rock music is banned in a conformist dystopian future. Grown men thought of that.”
Hobbs also noted that three of the band are incredibly square and two of their albums are padded out with soundtrack material from films like Highlander.
He added: “Everyone bangs on about how they played in South Africa during apartheid, but that’s actually less worrying than the Flash Gordon album.”
