TGIF MUSIC: “I’m Going Slightly Mad” is from Queen’s final studio produced album, Innuendo, released in 1991.
I’m knitting with only one needle
Unravelling fast its true
I’m driving only three wheels these days
But my dear how about you?
…..
It finally happened oh yes
It finally happened
I’m slightly mad!
Just very slightly mad!
And there you have it!
Notice the slide guitar solo played by Brian May. For footage of Mad in the making, including the penguin, see: Queen-Making Of “I’m Going Slightly Mad” video HD part 2

Your first Queen post in a while, it seems!!
LOL!!!! I needed this!!! Thank you Rajini Rao!
Just in time, right… Gregory? 🙂 I needed this too, Mary Owens !
Nice find Rajini Rao …and an apt song to remind us all of how “slightly” we are…wonderful music and post …Thank you for tagging me too and a Happy long weekend to you :))
Some of us more than slightly, Kershaw Rustomji . Hopefully, I’ll find that missing screw. Thanks, and have an awesome weekend too my friend 🙂
Rajini Rao Thank you my friend ….I feel I was born without “the screw” or lost it forever 😉
Kimberly Brosnan This morning I thought, “You’re simply not in the pink my dear”. 😉
I am sitting in a company card taking a break & more visits to make you send to this. I needed to laugh so again, thanksRajini Rao!!
I meant to say “car” Not “card”….Oye vey!!!
I’m so glad to hear that, Mary Owens . Imagine if “One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you – oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something?”
Also, you can always think of some lovely pumps 😉
No problem, Mary Owens , I just figured you were “one card short of a full deck” 😀
Yes…rosy red pumps, a little dog, yellow brick road & and the beloved Emerald City! Have a wonderful weekend, Rajini Rao! Be safe out there :-).
Right on time Mary Owens “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.” I’m heading home. Long day again.
Hey…I resemble that remark!!! I haven’t had a full deck in a long time so why change now?? ;-).
Get some rest this weekend Chad Haney .
Chad Haney, you are precious!!! Made me laugh too :-). Have a great & safe weekend!

Through my employer’s community volunteer project, I spent a Saturday a couple of weeks ago at a Habitat for Humanity site. It was fun!
Vintage Mercury ! Nice.
I ♥ Freddie!!
Dan, thank you so much. It gave me the chills..goosebumps. So sad 😦
It’s a keeper, on replay.
Let me try the newer link…the other kept getting hung up.
Same here, Dan, thanks for the last one 🙂
LOL, on that last vid..I’ve only listened to it in my car on on my phone. Hilarious!
Catch you on the other side, Feisal 🙂
Haha, this is the infamous vacuuming vid 🙂
I’ll be up at the crack of dawn (neighbors lawnmower, first world problems, lol). Actually, the birds are too loud 🙂
I’ll leave you with this, Feisal Kamil 🙂
Queen – Bicycle Race – Uncensored
From Wiki: The video for the song became scandalously famous for featuring 65 naked women, all professional models, racing at Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium. It was filmed by Dennis de Vallance. The group rented the stadium and several dozen bikes for one day for filming the scene; however, when the renting company became aware of the way their bikes were used, they requested the group to purchase all the bicycle seats.The original video uses special effects to hide the nudity.
Of course it does 🙂 You can tell me tomorrow/later today.
I’m off before I start typing gibberish too, Feisal 😉
“This video contains content from UMG. It is not available in your country.”
UMG, that’s just sad.
Everyone knits with only one needle, unless you are dealing with knitting-pro, capable of juggling needles, just because.
But I agree that’s only ‘slightly’ mad.
As a matter of fact, Queen’s only just the ‘right’ amount on Mad.
Hahahah Oh I love it… Rajini Rao
Not available in my country. Make it better, WW!
I couldn’t get to your version, Feisal Kamil . This sort of stuff is so mysterious to me. Anyone know of a good way to figure out access (before posting)?
Michelle Beissel , let us know if you got Feisal’s link.
yup, listening to it now, v rich, Rajini Rao
Okey doke, Mahesh Sreekandath .
Should figure out a way to visit Johns Hopkins Malaysia (do you know it, Feisal?)
Oh yes, big deal. Something about bringing Hopkins medical education to Malaysia. My colleague down the hall teaches there for a few months. Another colleague is heading it ..Charlie W.
When I first saw this video all those years ago, I could not understand why he was looking so gaunt and tired. It was only when I watched the documentary about him after his passing away did I learn what he had to put up with to make this video. I miss him.
Suhail Manzoor , it’s bittersweet to see him like this. Apparently, by the time they recorded the last song for this album he was so weak that he could barely move. Check out one of the links to No One But You/Only the Good Die Young above.
I remember watching this on MTV looong ago thinking “WHY? Whats going on with these guys.” I was just a kid of course to understand the madness.
In fact I didn’t took to Queen until much later when I heard a remix of Freddie’s genius Freddie Mercury – Living on my own [Lyrics]
Awesome fun vid, thanks Rahul Joshi ! I see my afternoon going down the Freddie memory lane (sigh).
