Queen for a Day - Good Company

After the blues breaker, the skiffle and the prog rock, Brian is back, this time with a bit of fluff. His ukelele in tow, Mr. May tosses off a little familial disappointment (sort of a hidden forte, it seems) with Good Company.
It's more than a wee bit loopy, perhaps inspired by the fab four but coming across more like the Mael Brothers.
It's a catchy ditty, sure, and it certainly isn't out of place on this record, but after Seaside Rendezvous and Lazing on a..., it comes across as a bit of envious wannabe-ism.
