Queen for a Day - Body Language



This was it. The long awaited next single from the Number One band of 1980. I got the single before I'd heard it. And I looked at that cover....of those bodies....with the painted arrows....and I thought....

Wtf is this?

And when I put it on I was transfixed...

On just how weird and out of character it was.

This is a gay club dance track all the way.

It's all Freddie. He's moaning and hissing and groaning all over it.

The bassline was created by a synthesizer. Are the drums programmed? Is Queen anywhere on this song? Didn't Donna Summer do this shit 5 years before???

But, how's the song?

Catchy, sure. They know how to craft a pop song.

Good? Um...no.

Stupid? Yes.

Grade: D
