-Notas

 

Para realizar esta canción y el video, Queen realizo una carrera con 65 mujeres desnudas, de las cuales la una foto de la carrera es la que se aprecia como caratula del sencillo, pero a esta imagen se le dibujó un bikini, al igual que al video se tuvieron que censurar algunas partes porque consideraban que mostraba contenido ofensivo.

La canción fue realizada como un doble lado A.

Durante un concierto en el Madison Square Garden, la banda tuvo varias mujeres en topless sobre el escenario montando bicicleta.

La canción hace mención, a varios iconos de la cultura Pop de los años 70s, incluyendo Star Wars, Watergate, Peter Pan, Frankenstein, Superman, Vietnam entre otras.
