Music Review: Queen’s: I’m Going Slightly Mad

I love this music video and its song is uniquely original. It start with Freddy Mercury dressed as a crazed fanatic. He makes lunacy crazy moves. It will go mad at you in ways you’ve never imagined. He sits near a couch with the entire Queen band, but they move away slightly from the singer. It was filmed in black & white. It is funny and humoristic at the same time. You’ll get laughs from it. It has different kinds of scenes that will make you think are completely nuts. If you want to go crazy, then this is the video to do it, but don’t over do it. I like all his loony moves and the way he expresses is insane. The song I’m Going Slightly Mad will satisfy you, because it is Queen at its best!
