This song is so underrated for how catchy the chorus is
Maddie Bricout deadass so true.
IFKR
Yeessss!!!!
very much QUEEN-songs are underrated
its not underrated lol its a single (double a side)
Freddie was a gifted piano player. He wouldn't tell you that, but it's true
TheOfficialCMAN It’s kinda funny because he only took one year of piano class when he was 10
He made his compositions special enough to let him sing and play at the same time. That usually takes a lot of practice but at the rate he was writing these songs I wouldn't be surprised that he wasn't the most technical. He played very emotionally and you can hear it.
Silent Studios I didn't know that!
TheOfficialCMAN He was.so.much more than a gifted piano player
a man like that can play anything that sounds, and make it sound perfect.
this would be a great villain song in a musical
Yeah right? 💁🏻♀️
if this was in a musical i would stop listening to queen
@@trashgamer3318 lmfao ok?
@@trashgamer3318 that, what you just said, is unnecessarily... weak
my opion sorry
My teenage years were the 70's. I thought Ziggy Stardust was the best album ever, nobody could touch Bowie. Then I heard Physical Graffiti by Led Zep and I played it over and over. Now here I am in 2017, an old man of 58 years. There is only one album and this is it. Sheer Heart Attack is what I play in my car every month just to keep me happy. It is so unique and addictive. God bless you Freddie!
Same age and musical tastes, especially Physical Graffiti. I like this best of the Queen albums because of the unrestrained rock-n-roll feeling. The next three are all classics too (Night at the Opera, Day at the Races, News of the World), but there's a unique kind of energy on SHA, particularly in songs like Brighton Rock, Flick of the Wrist, and Now I'm Here.
stardust and graffiti were great albums,and sheer heart attack is pretty damn good,but it was also where QUEEN started to change....to listen to their best work,you need to listen to QUEEN 2...heavier and more melodic.....
i am 62 and was lucky enough to see the first queen tour here in boston,with them opening for mott the hoople....queens best and heaviest albums were their first 2 albums,with QUEEN2 being the best ever...
nothing in this world beats ziggy stardust
And just think, they were in their mid - twenties when they were knocking stuff like this out. Unbelievable talent.
I bought the Killer Queen SINGLE. Yes, I'm that old. This song was on the flip side. I fell in love with it, and Queen.
I truly envy you for being able to have done that. I would give anything to have been born in this era
Carrie Berry doesn't seem 5 mins since I walked into Woolworths and bought killer queen. nearly 56 now. 🙇
I bought the album when it first came out. Yes, I'm that old, too. I only wish I could have seen them in concert! I've loved them since their first album.
Carrie Berry Wil NEVER 4get Fred doing Bohemian Rhapsody Christmas Day 1975. STILL in love 💙
Carrie Berry I'm not old an I like it
Sheer Heart Attack; best album ever made.
It has no weakness.
A Night At The opera
Yes
@@clericdawns1185 Sneaky jojoke there
yea
Such an awesome song. Anyone notice at 0:34 when he says “I’ll have you seeing double” Roger hits the snare twice and with both sticks as if to emphasize the double? Such a cool detail hidden within the song.
Wow I did not notice that, nice catch!
Good ear!
My favourite bit is when he switches to the ride cymbal at 2:46 . Its so understated and simple but so effective.
39 likes, i couldn't ruin it, sorry.
@@Magic-Worm hahahaha, brilliant
Only Queen could have written a masterpiece like this.
Queen has no limits, best band
I mean I can’t even disagree at all their the best band to existed
I'm gonna put Queen on my top 5 bands no disrespect to them #5 village people, #4 wild cherry ,#3 the Beatles, #2 Queen ,#1 the Bee Gees
I'm a Bee Gees fan can somebody please tell me how to become a fan of the band Queen
@@afreakaboucher1316 start with any of their 70s albums, i.e A Night at the Opera, A Day at the Races, Queen, Queen II, News of the World, Jazz, Sheer Heart Attack and then move on to their 80s albums. The Game, The Works, A Kind of Magic. I’m still discovering some of their songs to this day. I’m 14 btw. Hope this helped

DON'T LOOK BACK.....DDOOON'T LOOK BACK!
Freddie Potato The King of Potato Songs It’s a rip off!
Silent Studios Skits FLICK OF THE WRIST
I like ur name lmao hahahahha
Meshi Ch. and you’re deaaaaddd baby!
izevans blow him a kiss
I love how it just continues in to the "Lily of the valley". I also like how Freddie gave the first four albums medleys. It makes them so fun to listen to.
What was the medley in the first one? When I listened to it i didnt manage to catch onto one
@@TorhekLiar, The Night Comes Down and Modern Times Rock N Roll.
Somehow, the difference between the pleasant opening and the sudden dark tone doesn't actually feel jarring.
Bryan's guitar-work here is genius. He is winding his way throughout the entire song.
A great song to play when you're PISSED at whomever or whatever. Freddie just gets it!!! His anger is just pulsating and giving his listeners and fans the words, tone, and music to help us let off that fury.
If you look up 'underrated' in the dictionary... This song...
so this was the first of two songs about Queen being "ripped-off" by management. The second one, "Death on two legs" gets even more nasty - and probably rightly so
But i've just searched about thing song on google and wikipedia says freddie actually said that it's not about a specific person in particular , he even said their manager thinks it's about him but it isnt , so excuse me for asking but if i understand u correctly where did u get the information that this song is about Queen themselves being ripped off by management?
@@nightknightinblack czcams.com/video/JIfU1yCP028/video.html
Idk about this one specifically but death on two legs is about them getting ripped off by management and by the sound of it this one is as well.
@@ibitebats1729 yes, u are right death stranding in fact is about a specific manager ripping off queen but i dont think flick of the wrist was intended for someone specific
@@nightknightinblack - in all fairness to your comment, Freddie never actually went on record saying Death On Two Legs was about their management either. He couldn’t for legal reasons so technically on record Queen never wrote songs about their contractual problems everything is hearsay. Now, if you look into the lyrics and do a little bit of research as to what they were going thru in that particular point in their careers you’d know that they wrote a few songs about it, maybe not naming their management but explaining their business problems which is quite transparent. While both Brian and Roger have said that “Death” was written about their management, neither one can lay claim for it since they didn’t write it. They can’t tell you 100% what freddie was thinking anymore than i can tell you what freddie was thinking when he wrote Bohemian Rhapsody.
@@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020 good point honestly
I feel like Queen in the 70s and the 80s and 90s are 3 different bands
All very good bands, mind you.
You're right, i feel the same, even the image of Freddie helps to it
70s will always be the best
@@Jasonmf123YT yes
And i love that feeling because the band evolved and is simply amazing for me that my favourite band gave me that chance unlike others who play the same music for thirty or forty years
Roger's drum switching from left to right gives me eargasm. The four of them sounds like an orchestra in my heart!
I keep getting goosebumps on my legs 😂💥💥💥
The bass in this song is so good and so underrated in my opinion
14 seconds and I'm already in love with is song

@@unchz *MESMERIZE YOU WHEN HE'S TONGUE-TIED*
That pre-chorus is freaking sick! Whenever he starts with "dislocate your spine" I find myself headbanging lol not to mention Brian May's amazing riff right after that part
This band's potential for creepy yet alluring songs is IMPRESSIVE. I mean, you read the lyrics and you swear is something like an evil's pact or something, but sounds so appealing...
Tell me another band capable of something similar to this and I throw myself in a cesspool of pride
the original flick of the wrist
@Rogerina Taylor (Sadly?) Yes there is...
@Rogerina Taylor Shame on them!
@@sam-wtf who covered the song? Don't tell me it's Justin Bieber or something like that
@@Tanishqkanojia1163 dt have covered queen, they combined three of their songs into one and added it to the black clouds and silver linings special edition. It's amazing though, honestly rivals the originals because of the link between the songs and technicality of petrucci and portnoy
@@lukeyyyyyy hold on a moment these 3 songs are also linked without the intro they flow perfeclty it's basically innuendo or borhap just split into 3 seperate songs
the bass here is pure gold!
Moral of the story is to never make Queen angry, cause they'll roast the heck outta you
The voice of Freddie is amazing
Idk why this song brings me halloween vibes at the beginning. I love it.
Somehow reminds me of the band Helloween :P
more like Harry potter vibes to me, right?
THIS IS HALLOWEEN
Reminds me of Mario kart
Action, villain, epic, halloween in the same time
I'm quickly becoming obsessed with this song. The way it switches between dark and creepy parts and lighter, energetic parts is intoxicating! And Roger's drumming, especially in the last "all this time honey" is just BOOM! I'm so happy Queen happened to me. Wow.
The bass in this song is fabulous. Great Deacky.
For a song about a bad manager it’s one of the best Queen songs I ever heard. Been a fan for 40 yrs nearly all my life
You have mixed it up with "Death on two legs"
75 yrs and still rocking love the imagery this song creates. Underrated ❤❤
It's clearly a song about a bad business deal or bad manager. I don't see why Queen wouldn't have more than one song about a terribly bad manager. Also, clearly Freddie wrote angry songs well, beginning with Liar in their first album.
@@FunkyDisco79 Both songs are about the same person.
@@clarenceeugene9692 I read the Wikipedia article about this song and there is a quote from Jim O'Connor that says that Freddie said "I wrote it as a sort of tongue-in-cheek story about the con-men and rip-off artists we're always running into. Our manager would like to think it's about him, but it's not." After I realised the quote is from 1975 I think you're right.
Freddie isn’t just a good singer her is a freaking legend😍
Yep Chelsea so true.
No Deaky in the description AGAIN??!!! It’s outrageous he must get credit too
We revolt at dawn
i think they just didn't put deaky because he quitted
But Mercury died, and he’s in the description.
It’s not about the current status of the band because Queen Official never posts what they’re doing nowadays. This channel is pretty much exclusively for what happened from the years 1970-1991, before Deacy quit, so he should still receive credit.
@@jamie6506 when Freddie died he never said he quitted queen
Yeah, I agree with you! Esp, when it puts like "See the best of..." John didn't take part in this song? John didn't take part in all the Queen music untill 1991 and Freddie's death? (Doesn't matter in the slightest that he quited.) He did. So should be given credit for it. It all looks... not nice.
I have a feeling this song may be dedicated to the production company
Nurlinda F Sihotang its actually the meaning
Ava Turtle It Is there are two. death on two legs also.
Harry Warburg yes I do know that I probably did not make myself clear (I do that a lot according to my son ! Thats what happens when you try to do two things at once) sorry ! I just mean they are both about getting ripped off by the record industry........I have all of the Queen albums. Plus an actual turntable from back in the day. Every time a new album came out I would sit and play them over and over
Harry Warburg no problem I don’t mind being corrected
i can't believe i hadn't heard this before! This is now one of Queen's best for me, behind I'm Going Slightly Mad, Prophet's Song, and The Show Must Go On!
This song describes most Bullies...
This is better than any of their "greatest hits." Just absolutely fanfuckingtastic. Everything about this songs just fucking rocks: The multiple guitars, the harmonies, the bass and drums, the piano intro, and the vocals are simply incredible. They lyrics are on a totally other level. This is high art right here.
Based
Not better than bohemian rhapsody
@@Neph1944 borap is mid
@@dohnjoe8372 all queen songs are like A tier or better
You're missing the point of their greatest hits album. It's supposed to contain their greatest hits.
The only problem with this song is:
It’s not long enough
Solution put it on repeat
@@whoitesnek2015 Play Lily of the Valley after this.
Yes I would love a movie length song 😔🤤👌👏👏💃🕺🏿
Simple solution is play the whole album.
well actually this song is 7 minutes long but it's divided in 3 songs, you should check the album playlist
what am I saying it's still not enough
Grandiose and a proof that Freddie's roots were pure rock +...
Masterpiece!
Queen has not limits, best band ever🎸💓
totally underrated
Top 5 Best Underrated QUEEN Songs:
5. Ogre battle
4. Liar
3. Flick of the wrist
2. Father to son
1. Great king rat
Only for those who don't know their first albums.😜🤪
Agree , but March Of The Black Queen must be there
this song has weird vibe to it. I love it. I love these songs that are just weird that way. But that what makes queen, Queen. just these various style of music is what queen is all about.
My favorite Queen albums are:
Queen
Queen II
Sheer Heart Attack
A Night At The Opera
A Day At The Races
Jazz
Agreed
I love News of the World too. But the ones you listed are all my favourites
I'd put Innuendo there, maybe The Game
This and Death on Two Legs are pure gold.
don't looh back....but we do..the 70s for queen were full of special songs
0:29 That's so neoclassical metal.
Queen are the real pioneers of Power Metal
“Dislocate your spine if you don’t sign he says “I’ll have you seeing double””
Wow.
They hated him.
@MURICA LAST!!! this song is about their manager Norman Sheffield, who basically scammed them. one time they told roger to stop breaking he drumsticks as they couldnt afford anymore, but then a few days later they saw the manager driving a very expensive car, so they knew something was up and wrote 2 songs “dedicated” to him. this is the first one, and death on two legs is the other.
@MURICA LAST!!! no, ray foster was just a fictional character but he (ray) did represent the record labels who didnt release borhap. dotl (death on two legs) and this one are about the managing problems :)
@@ahard-daysnight6659 - they actually wrote three songs about their management problems: Flick Of The Wrist, In The Lap Of Gods (revisited) and Death On Two Legs.
Brian May's guitar work is out of this world but Freddie is out of this univers. Hail Freddie, my god you really were that good.
Queen was on some god like levels of music
the piano in this song is great!!!
Just listen close to Brian’s playing on this song... FENOMENAL!!! 😱
Those exotic guitar fills make the song for me.
Discovered Sheer Heart Attack through an interview I read with Edgar Wright over his film Baby Driver, as Brighton Rock is in it. Wright said it was queens best album and so it became the first Queen Album I have listened to start to finish. Amazing album
Queen ii Bro if you want more queen
No question Queen 1970"s are the best!!!
Kelley Seiler Have you heard under pressure?
"Under Pressure" is a great pop song, but still quite subpar regarding Queen's discography... in fact, when Queen gained worldwide fame by the end of the 70's, their best was already behind them, Queen's true genius lies in their first 4 albums, when they were a Hard/Progressive/Avant-garde Rock band, which influenced many other bands (as well as the rising Heavy Metal genre), then starting from "A Day At The Races", they were more focused on trying to produce more radio-friendly songs, and they did it well, but that's not quite the same thing, no more epicness, some good songs here and their, but more uneven songs and albums, while Queen I (maybe my favorite Queen album), II, Sheer Heart Attack where awesome from the begining up to the end, and "A Night..." was slightly more uneven, but contained absolute killer songs such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Prophet's Song and Death On Two Legs.
@@debiruman9200 Agree about their true genius being their first albums in the 1970s. To be fair, though, all 70s bands that wanted to survive changed their sound in the 80s. Elton John, Queen, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, etc. The fantastic studio sound-production techniques introduced in the 80s meant that any band that didn't go more synth or new wave was going to struggle to stay viable.
@@ej3922 bro the best songs of queen is on 70s
@@ej3922 wtf 😂
Another amazingly underrated track by Queen that is criminal as it is in my top Queen tracks of all time
That intro is so marvellous, not to mention the transition between the intro and the verse

no its killer queen
Just goes to show how stellar of an album it is

I find a new Queen song to love every week
This was the B-side to the “Killer Queen” 7” single when it was first released, and I played that record to death! Both sides equally! May’s guitar playing in “Flick Of The Wrist” is amazing!
I love the fact that Queen were heavier than the Metal bands their time.
Early queen songs are better then later queen songs.
Freddie was such a good pianist
Those harmonies are *chef's kiss*
Farrokh Bulsara (to his classmates): I'm gonna be famous
Classmates: lol yeah right
Farrokh Bulsara; yes, MEGA famous
Classmates: lolololol
The rest is Rock History
It's Farrokh. But yeah, I agree.
Corrected. Thanks
I can probably say his right words: "I'm not going to be a star! I'm going to be a legend!"
He was involved in music all his life, but did you know he planned on being a graphic artist? (He designed Queen's album covers) What a waste it would have been if he hadn't decided to form a band.
Also, Brian May has a PhD in Astrophysics. How much damn talent can one band have?
70s QUEEN is fantastic!
The transition from this to Lily of the Valley is sublime.
The first time i heard this song i was like it's an okay song. then i heard it a few more times and now i absolutely LOVE it. Firstly Freddie's piano playing at the beginning is astounding. then his vocals are raw, passionate and so sexy. Brian on the guitar is fantastic and John's base gives it beautiful power and Roger's drum beat drives it home. To top it off you have beautiful recorded track and then Freddie takes it to another level with the live performances. I am in awe!!
A roller coaster of a song & one of my faves...fantastic, Queen at their best. Whenever I feel "what got me into Queen?".. I got "Opera" for xmas in 75 of my mum, i was 9 at the time. Since then ardent fan & collector. The early stuff sets you on the right track, they should be listened to in order of release...then you get what theyre all about !
One of my favorite Queen songs 👑
Queen put out quite a few killer b sides, this being one of them. One thing about Queen is they always gave you your money's worth, either in concert or on record. No filler, all killer. Masters of their instruments every one of them.
Have you seen em live?
such an underrated song from the most adorable queen
One of the best bassline ever written by John
The guitar solo is so cool
Brilliant song
Superb Album
Rest in paradise FM
The fact that just the chorus is enough to get this on my favourite songs playlist shows how good of a song this is.
Does it cover the Brazil shooting to the face? That's why a frog face was deployed so the veil could hide behind it
Historically in hidden Jewish folklore thats why women slept with a net veil with their partners as they where scared medievil might come on them searching for information 😭
honestly i love the older queen but right now i am loving the earlier queen :) miss you Freddie
Honestly I fucking love Queen in every period.
m&j so i do
yeah. Queen has something for any mood
Yeah but let's face the truth, starting with "a day at the races", Queen's albums get more and more uneven, while the first 4 albums are masterpieces.
@@debiruman9200 Really? Sheer Heart Attack through News of the World is my favourite period in Queen's career. It's all relative I guess
I discovered this album in 1975 (at age 15) and STILL love it.

Is this song a prequel to Death on Two Legs?
+JoroJojoro Absolutely!
+JoroJojoro ...aaah .. so this was also about their leech manager they had at the time.. I didn't realise that, but reading the lines, it all seems to make sense.
and "Sleeping On The Sidewalk" is the sequel, I think.
+MegaLisa830 it's on "News Of The World." It's like, "okay, we finally get rid of this guy, let me tell you how it's gonna be from now on"
You're welcome. "News Of The World" was released after "A Day At The Races," which songs were written at the same time "A Night At The Opera" songs were written. In fact, Brian May's idea was to release both of them as a double album, but it wasn't a popular idea amongst his band mates, foremost Freddie. So, in the practical sense, "News.." is the next album after "A Night.." so it's fair to say that "Sleeping On The Sidewalk" tells the story of how things were before Jack Nelson and how their career evolved once without him, and unlike the most somber "Fick Of The Wrist" and the acid "Death On Two Legs," both of them written by Freddie, "Sleeping On The Sidewalk" has the cute-chill out style of Brian writting and also his voice.
John Deacon here pure magic, as always!
Love this song since I first heard it in 77..love how all the songs on this album bled into the next., Epic!
Surely one of the most powerful, tension building songs by the fours wild guys :)
