Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy

I've heard that it's about amphetamines, which is highly probable (and did explain some of the lyrics), but I'm still completely confused. Don't get me wrong, folks, I love this song, but the words are strung together in such a verbally staccato, disjointed way. Kruschev and Kennedy? What?!

Ughh, so confused!

You could be right bout the drag queen but I doubt the prostitute would have caviar cigarettes and buy perfume from Paris! No I reckon it's about a conwomen that preys on men "to avoid complications she never kept the same address" and then kills them "guarunteed to blow your mind"

Freddie Mercury[1]:
“ People are used to hard rock, energy music from Queen, yet with this single you almost expect Noel Coward to sing it. It's one of those bowler hat, black suspender belt numbers – not that Coward would wear that. (...) It's about a high class call girl. I'm trying to say that classy people can be whores as well. That's what the song is about, though I'd prefer people to put their interpretation upon it – to read into it what they like.

"A built in Remedy for Krutchov and Kennedy"....The woman in the song is like Helen of Troy.Since the Russians and the Americans were in a tense political situation-ie the cold war,she could ease everyone's tensions.Knowing about Kennedy's penchance for women,this makes sense.She is highly sexual,maybe even a sex-addict, definitely highclass with expensive tastes-either callgirl or deb gone wild,she is a mystery of charm,lethal in her prowess,and can be paid for.

According to a terrible documentary, if you could call it that, about Freddie's loves (it's on youtube) - this was written about a "friend" of his called Eric according to this tubby lisping retard the song was written about him and Freddie said to him "I'm the queen and Eric you're killing me" and also because he kept champagne in a "fancy cabinet" - maybe it's just me but if someone like Freddie was to write a song about you I think you'd remember the right lyrics. :S

It seems as though the lyrics are referencing some kind of spy, or double agent. Kind of a 'From Russia, With Love' type of thing. A dangerous woman - sexually, psychologically, and militaristically. I realize the two have nothing to do with one another, but Glen Close's Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil in Les Liaisons Dangereuses comes to mind.

The song is about a high class call girl. he's trying to say that classy people can be whores as well. there is reference to Mary Antoinette, the queen of france during the french revolution. She was there living the high life and when informed of the peasants not having bread, she ignorantly replied with "then let them eat cake". hense the line.

Of course, it's Merilyn Monroe. That's so logical. Kennedy love's her, so she has power.

Of course Killer Queen is Marilyn Monroe. She was in the position to know both men. Also widely believed that she and John Kennedy had an affair.

We used to refer wemen specially the lovely ones as to be made of gellatine and extraordinary nice, but they are poeple with selfish ambitions and cruel emotions as well as feminine needs and delicate specifics. When you can judge wemen from outside (ie not being emotionally involved) you can see their true mixture of lifestyle, this is not odd. Thanks Freddie!
