Paul is watching Im Going Slightly Mad by Queen in 1991 ..... @youre simply not in the pink my dear to be honest you havent got a clue ...... Paul Jack Griffiths really loves his beloved Queen xx Queen with Im Going Slightly Mad from 1991 .... Im Going Slightly Mad was begun in Freds London house, after hed got the idea of writing a song about madness inspired by Noël Cowards camp one liners. Most of the lyrics like banana tree or one needle came from both him and his friend Peter Straker who stayed up all night in Freds kitchen, devising ever more outlandish lines. The music is Freds as well and it is one of the earliest songs the band were working on in Montreux when Steve Howe came in. The video that accompanied the song saw Freddie dressed in a costume suit with wild hair white gloves long pointing shoes and extremely heavy make up and filmed in black and white. Whilst Queen fans were thoroughly amused by the band in the video, in the documentary, Champions of the World Roger confessed from the bands perspective the video was marred by Freds appearance having to be camouflaged by costume and make up as Roger admitted Freddie looked pretty ill at that point........ Im one card short of a full deck Im not quite the shilling one wave short of a shipwreck Im not my usual top billing Im coming down with a fever Im really out to sea this kettle is boiling over I think Im a banana tree oh dear Im going slightly mad Im going slightly mad It finally happened happened It finally happened uh huh It finally happened Im slightly mad oh dear uh uh ah ah uh uh ah ah Im knitting with only one needle unravelling fast its true Im driving only three wheels these days but my dear how about you Im going slightly mad Im going slightly mad It finally happened It finally happened oh yes It finally happened Im slightly mad just very slightly mad and there you have it ....... h
