Queen for a Day - Jealousy

Freddie at his most androgynously treacly. He was always cheeky this qy, hedging his bets and keeping American audiences from running away from him and his co-horts.
Jealousy sounds like an old song from Queen II but it quickly turns into a super ballad that has a toe in Day at the Races and a whole foot in the "we ran out of things to sing about" songbook.
This track would almost qualify as a guilty pleasure if it was pleasurable. Thats not really fair. It has a nice melody. But it feels as though it was written during one bored evening in the studio while waiting for the other band members to arrive.
They've done better.
