This song is amazing but way too underrated in Queen's list of hits! I would like to hear it more often. I feel the same for "Save Me" and "Spread Your Wings". You are so right Dereck on your comments about it.

My vote is on 'Scandal', which is track 8 out of 10 on 'The Miracle'. Sort of like a not-so-subtle and off-the-cuff F. U., because Freddie hated how the tabloid press invaded his privacy. But still a song that seems to sort of have just been "thrown in there". It's a great song on all accounts.

freddy was struggling so much already, yet he used all his strength to get those songs done. that's why the video is like it is

The whole album is a masterpiece..

the best album from Queen, love I'm going slightly mad!

A true masterpiece of (beyond) epic proportions. And every reaction to this song / video is the same - completely mesmerised by the genius, the musical transitions, and the lyrics. And those of us who have lived and breathed Queen for the past 50 years are saying ... "Hell, yeah! Welcome to our world - what took you so long?"

I agree, this is one of my favourite Queen songs, too. This is just pure art. I wish it would be as much popular as Bohemian Rhapsody....

I agree 100 procent with you. This song must be played on my funeral.☺ When we can vote for music list of the year and I never vote on bohemian. Always on Innuendo. More and more people vote for it because they where higher in the list then the past years.

I can't listen to Freddie without tearing up 😥 the guy wasn't of this planet, he was something else 💔 well and truly missed

This song is beyond amazing, its depth, its complexity, the chorus, the Red Special, in fact, all the instruments are of course, on point!!! As usual, the boys nailed it big time!! Masters, I tell you! And what to say of Freddie's vocals, so powerful, emotional, clear, so him. To think he was so ill at this point, and still, he delivered those vocals. Whom else but the LEGEND himself??? Queen won several prizes on this video, and yet it's (and the song itself) so underrated. Why? Are people and society in general deaf to real music and meaning? Oh yes, in Portugal it reached no 1. Go Portugal 🇵🇹 Thank you for this one, and keep on doing them, your life will be so much better with Queen on it 😉👏

As usual, 3 songs in a song... Funeral march, spanish part and rock part queen style. Just amazing!

An amazing song. What is incredible is a dying Freddie Mercury put everything he could into this singing this song in studio. Also read that Freddie was mostly represented in the video as an illustration because the illness had taken such a toll on him.

Innuendo (the album) is the best work they did since Queen2.

That was Freddie’s Mini Bohemian Rhapsody. Innuendo was the final album Freddie did with the band. His voice on the entire album is incredible. The song was credited to Queen, as they began to do since the Miracle album, however, Freddie wrote this song. Please react yo Don’t Try So Hard from the same album.

I agree. First of all it's a more mature work, musically, of the band and of each member of the band. Second, the subject matter is meaningful and deep, reflections on life from a person nearing the end of his life. BR seems to be more of a tongue-in-cheek composition, deliberately over-the-top in response to some of the perceived excesses of prog rock, and also a sort of rock recapitulation of a scene from a specific opera. The meaning behind the words (and some gibberish) of BR is not made explicit; and while the full intent behind the structure and composition of Innuendo is also not obvious and requires interpretation, the words themselves are direct and clear. Both are brilliant, unique, and filled with the radically unexpected; but to me, BR seems very youthful, melodramatic, playfully mysterious - like a young person imagining what it would feel like to face death - whereas Innuendo asks the Big Questions, as a mature person actually facing death and confronted with his own mortality. It's not "Mama, I don't want to die," it's "G-d/justice/reason - I wish you would tell me the purpose of the journey I just took and that every human must take, tell me what it all means." It's almost like Bohemian Rhapsody is wearing a mask, and Innuendo is yanking it off.

dereck and then u never heard the Prophet Song? Another classic eric!

This is Queen’s kitchen sink song. Everything’s in it but the kitchen sink and I LOVE it 👏👏👏

Such a gallant performance by our dear Freddie. He was too sick to make a video, but stepped up, like he always did, to make this another masterpiece. Yes, Brian, John and Roger knocked it out of the park too!!! Can't get enough of Queen. Brilliant in every way. Miss you Freddie. Love Freddie and Queen. Forever

Steve Howe from Yes, played Spanish guitar. Queen songs have many moving parts to them.

A master piece

It's my favorite too! along with March of the Black Queen. So much meaning, so much musical complexity of the composition, totally unique.

A favourite of mine ❤️

I think the complexity of this great song has limited its popularity, it’s too complicated for the most people, it's a sharing composition. It contains the handprints of all four of them, but Freddie's artistic imagination is the most serious.

Brian explained rest was pretty much Freddie With richards helping Freddie to create the bridge section Obviously steve howe adding guitar But I dont think it was a group composition as such mainly Freddie I think

One of my most favourite songs by Queen or anyone else and should be much better known. Great video too. There really were no other band with this kind of output. Absolutely fantastic.

One of my current favorite Queen songs!!! As I study more of their catalog I'm more blown away every single day!! I'd have given ALOT to have heard them all together.

The best band in history ... I'm a big Queen fan. Queen songs are masterpieces. I recommend the Wembley 86 concert. Look. The best introduction to a concert I have ever watched. Lots of songs you can put on your repertoire of reactions. Here are some suggestions One vision, Tie Your Mother Down, In the Lap of the Gods, Seven Seas of Rhye, Tear It Up, A kind of magic, Under Pressure, Another one bites the dust, Who wants to live forever live version Wembley, I want to break free, love of my live, Hammer to fall, Crazy little thing called love, We are the champions Somebody to love live from Montreal magic, We will rock you live, The show must go on, I want it all, Mother Love the last song Freddie Mercury sang for Queen. Unfortunately, he did not sing it to the end. Very emotional song. The end was sung by Brian May. There are so many songs these are just some that are perhaps most familiar to the audience. So enjoy 😉

Bo Rhap, Innuendo, masterpieces both, but Queen didn’t stop there. Check out The Prophet’s Song and March of the Black Queen

So many great songs on this album ! One of the greatest album of the 90s for me !

This is one of my top 10 Queen's songs. I love it so much.

Three sections within a bridge... flamenco meets Maiden. Hell of a way to open the last chapter of the original lineup.

This deserves two approves it's like a mini bohemian with so many levels only Queen could do this to us as we listen . Timeless amazing epic and damn I miss Freddie

INNUENDO won the Monitor Award for Best Achievement in Music Video. 🏆🥇 It also won first prize at the American Film & Video Festival. 🥇 Innuendo was a triumphant continuation of the return to Queen’s early 70’s hard rock roots. 🎭

This is my favourite Queen song.

For me, better than Bohemian Rhapsody! If that’s legal to say 😂 a masterpiece. I adore this song and love the fact that it’s so “unknown” despite being a number one single in the UK. So good. Too good. Incredibly good.

Awesome reaction! If you like complexity, this was a trademark of Freddie's songs. March of the Black Queen from their second album is often considered the precursor to Bohemian Rhapsody and also has some of this complexity. Please react to it but only after reacting to the video for Bohemian Rhapsody. Although I love seeing them live, the video is considered the first music video and also has the full song. The live versions either cut out the middle section or play the audio and offer a light show because they could not replicate the amazing multi-layered, middle section harmonies. It's a must see, I think. Thanks!

Another Freddie Mercury genious composition.

Truly a masterpiece! One of my favorite Queen songs. Always love your reactions.

I think it's fair to say that this song is more than the sum of it's parts. Their song Breakthru is still my favourite though. PLEASE react to that.

Great song and very creative, fantastic video considering they couldn't use live band shots. I always get a bit sad though at this point.

Steve Howe (Guitarist for band Yes) plays Spanish/Flamenco guitar along side of Brian on this song. Howe said he was not sure that he could actually play the music but he aced it after all.

Exactly,it reminds what Krishnamurti, Eckhart Tolle say about our life and what is the problem of our suffering here in earth,thats our ego,our thoughts.. Here the lyrics : While we live according to race, colour or creed While we rule by blind madness and pure greed Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion Through the aeons, and on and on Oh yes we'll keep on tryin' We'll tread that fine line Oh oh we'll keep on tryin' Till the end of time Till the end of time Through the sorrow all through our splendour Don't take offence at my innuendo You can be anything you want to be Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be Be free with your tempo be free be free Surrender your ego be free be free to yourself :

I love this song, I really love this song but it's my second second favourite Queen's song, the first, the very first is "The show must go on" which was a huge slap. I know you did a reaction for Dimash's cover which was really good but Queen's version is very special, it was released a few days before Freddie's death and it sounds like an adieu (sorry, I don't know an English word for this word).

Yep, one of my faves by Queen too, i remembered listening to it when i was just a kid, i couldn't understand the lyrics but the music alone was a whole experience, I would let my child imagination flow to it, I could tell this song was something so unique. It's a complete masterpiece, including for its meaning and text. Even the video is great.

This is a masterpiece.I was raised on Queen..Your right about this song comparing it to Bohemian Rhapsody....Myself I prefer this over BR...JudyD

Complex song, complex great reaction. Please check out some early Queen like White Queen (‘75 Hammersmith),or You Take My Breath Away.

That's right! Best Queen song ever!

Great react, as usual dear Dereck :-)

Yeah it's really good song, when it was first released, they said that this song was a return to form since Bohemian Rhapsody. Although it's not my favourite song from them, my favourites are in order The Show must go on, These are the Days of Our Lives and Mother Love

One of their best, for sure, I love these kinds of complex songs. One that should get more attention than it does is Michael Jacksons History (Album version). No video, unfortunately, but just as epic as Bohemian rhapsody and Innuendo, in my opinion.

A lot of song and music from the group "Queen" are like a kind of magic 👍😍👍

Simply the best Queen song !

This song should be on the radio so much, love this song

A tragically underrated song, too epic for words. This song is tied with my other two fave Queen songs We Are The Champions, Bohemian Rhapsody I would not be a complete person without them. Much respect.

Love Queen!

The complexity is absolutely incredible. The mix of metal to flamenco to opera back to flamenco and finish back to metal so smoothly. This is absolutely insane. It’s one of most underrated Queen songs yet one of the most perplex

Titre extraordinaire de queen, mon groupe préféré, for ever

I really like your reaction to the songs of my favorite group. I have always and invariably loved Quenn for 46 years;)

It's wonderful to see you react to it and to read other commentors stating it's one of their fave songs by Queen because it is def one of mine and I always had the impression it was not very well known.

This is one for me is even more epic than Bohemian Rapsody... do not understand why it doesn't have the recognition it deserves.... is amazing.. the voice... the instrumentation... just sublime...

One of their best songs!

Wonderful epic - it’s kind of a ‘grown up’ bohemian rhapsody

This song remember me a little Bohemian Rapshody

🔥🤘🏼 Freddie 💔

They truly are masters of their craft!!!

Great reaction thank you! Time to check out “I’m Going Slightly Mad”!!! Very sad but so worth it! xxx

The whole album is so sentimental, so direct. Like reality and the dreamworld touch one another. Sometimes I think their lives from "a kind of magic" where they were on the top of the hill, moving to "the miracle" where they were trying to realize things, to "Innuendo" where every moment was precious. And then comes Made in Heaven...

Each member of Queen is depicted in an artistic style. Freddie is Leanardo Da Vinci, Brian May is Victorian Etchings, Roger Taylor is Jackson Pollock and John Deacon is Pablo Picasso.

QUEEN IS QUEEN 🤯👊🏼

Glad you enjoyed this. It is a real magnum opus. There are so many wonderful songs in their catalogue for you to discover still. You may enjoy 'It's A Hard Life', for example. Or 'One Vision'.

I love the flamenco vibes in it, awesome

A work of art both the song and video.💥💥💥
