OT: AIDS

Can you name a hit song that was about AIDS?

Here's the words to one:

Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I’m just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because I’m easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesn’t really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now he’s dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didn’t mean to make you cry-
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Body’s aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-I’ve got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I don’t want to die,
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But I’m just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-can’t do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....

For NoEd...

I'll help you out because I like you. The above means that a man with AIDS,
Freddie Mercury, had sex with another man.

C'mon ... too easy!

Bohemian Rhapsody : Queen

But it's about AIDS eh?
Hmmm, didn't know that.

The song was written well BEFORE he contracted AIDS,
but it is bizarre listening to the song knowing what we know today.

Re: For NoEd...

Listen to other queen songs.

Fat bottomed girl, tie your mother down, somebody to love, and crazy
little thing called love all come to mind with a significant amount of
innuendo.

Re: For NoEd...

How about "Who wants to live forever?"

That's what I get from it. It sure fits doesn't it? I'm sure many would
disagree and that's ok.

That's the tough part. Makes me wonder if he had it longer than people
thought. Back then I think if you got AIDS you didn't last very long. Lyrics
sure fit don't they? I guess that's just one reason that Mercury was a real
talent.

For NoEd...

Shirley lost her hairdresser that way.... he got it from a one-night stand
in LasVegas..

Sex kills...! Sometimes.... other times it just makes you do stupid things.

Why, is NodE.......... that way...?

47,600 hits on that subject. WOW!



I find this interesting.

"Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go"
"Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go"
"Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go"

Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara in Stone Town, Zanzibar to Persian
(Parsee)
parents from India.



Bismillah means:

"In the name of Allah"
"In the name of god, the most gracious and most merciful"
"Peace be with you"
