Queen - Don't Stop Me Now

"Don't Stop Me Now" is a 1979 hit single by Queen, from their 1978 album Jazz. Words and music were by Freddie Mercury. It was recorded in August/September 1978 in Nice, France.

Musically, the song is based around Mercury's piano playing, with John Deacon and Roger Taylor providing a bass guitar and drums backing track. On the studio version, Brian May's only guitar playing is in his guitar solo, however on live versions performed on the band's 1978 and 1979 tours, May would also play rhythm guitar throughout the rest of the song to add a rockier feeling to it. The song also provides an example of Queen's trademark style of multitrack harmony vocals for the chorus lines. Several recordings were laid over each other to achieve the final sound.

The lyrics have cosmic imagery describing feelings of power and exhilaration, for example "I'm gonna go, go, go there's no stopping me / I'm burning through the sky yeah 200 degrees…", although more careful examination reveals numerous metaphorical or even blatant sexual references. The song has been described as what "may be the only overtly homosexual song the band did" (possibly based on the lyric "I wanna make a Supersonic man out of you"). (Thanks Wikipedia)

I've heard the lyrics are supposed to be referencing masturbation, which if you consider the song in that light, makes it even more awesome.

it's not live. It's the studio version dubbed to a live performance. A lot of their videos are like this. Bohemian Rhapsody is a good example.

Paul Rodgers is not Freddie Mercury. Nobody is Freddie Mercury.

One of their best songs, certainly.
