Howard from St. Louis Park, MnThis well written ditty put Queen on the map. It's probably the only Top 40 hit to mention Nikita Khruschev and John F. Kennedy in the same verse. Let's not forget Marie Antoinette. Chas from Webster, NyThe legend goes that MA uttered this, but cake wasnt like we know it today. its the caked on crap that is on ovens from lots of cooking, and its really bitter and stuff. so she was pretty much saying "well if theyre gonna complain so much about nothing, then lets give them a step above" Elysia from Hamilton, New ZealandAwesome, poetic lyrics. And a sexy sound, my favourite Queen song =)

George from Vancouver, CanadaIt was Maria Antoinette that said it, but this is a mistranslation; Certain impoverished people would come to the castle for a daily bread allowance; or it was her servants receiving part of their pay in food. The head of the larder said, "We're out of regular flour breads" & Maria said to go ahead & use the better/sweet flour. . . So it was actually a statement/act of generosity ("noblesse oblige"); likely the revolution was started, as most, by malcontents, who changed their minds about what they deemed fair pay/treatment, &, when they won, they didn't want to seem like greedy aarseholes, so they allowed the "let them eat cake" story(which was invented by an English history philosopher). Freddie from Orlando, Flwell... for the record.... hereswhat the guy who WROTE it says... "It's about a high class girl. I'm trying to say that classy people can be whores aswell. Thats what the song is about, though I'd prefer people to put their own interperetation on it- to read what they like into it." Maor from Sederot, Israelas i know, Antoinette was so ignoret she didnt knew regular people cant afford cakes.Katie from Alliance, NeThis song is one of the best ever. my friends and me have this on our video game jam list (dorky sounding but hey) and it's just a funny sight to see 12 kids sitting in a tiny room singing and jamming this song. ah good times Pop star Katy Perry launches her third fragrance and the first one done in cooperation with Coty. The scent is called Killer Queen after the song written by Freddie Mercury, and apparently it is totally different from its two predecessors. The scent is predominantly sweet, but it doesn't overwhelm the senses. Instead, it creates a delightful blend that is light, yet memorable. The fruity undertones bring a youthful, playful energy to the perfume, making it appealing to younger audiences. Meanwhile, the floral and gourmand notes add a sophisticated depth, enhancing its appeal to mature women as well. Hunter from Philadelphia, PaI almost fell over laughing after reading how Katy Perry wanted to become like the woman in this song. Yeah, she did pretty good at taking on the whore image. But that aside, this is an awesome song. I actually just listened to it for the first time :) Alexander from London, EnglandGreat song but what pray tell is a high class prostitute apart from an oxymoron?

Melissa from Adelaide, AustraliaAfter a long and hard thesis on the French Revolution and the European Royalty that led to it's demise i can accurately say that it was a Spanish Consort who uttered the "let them eat cake" (in the english translation) Paul from Redditch, EnglandKept off the #1 spot by David "grannies love ya" Essex!! How did that happen? Sydney from Cincinnati, OhSky Five, what song are you listening to? If your talking about Marie Antoinette; for one, she was the queen of France. Second did you not read at the top where Freddie Mercury himself said that it was about a classy whore?Belle from GeorgiaDoes anyone besides me think the actual lyric is, "Met a man from China, Went down to ASIA MINOR"? Leon from IntrnationalIt's about the continuing rivalry of chess grand masters of the USSR and other international teams and the effect they had during the cold war. Cam from Newport Beach, CaFor the line "Gunpowder ______, dynamite and a laser beam", I hear the word "turpentine". Brandon Gallagher from Marysville, Sdi would like to point out that mary antoinette did have like 3 husbands and they all died before her.
