In All honesty, whats wrong with Delilah?
| little.queenie 37630 13.07.2007 17:09 |
Is it the music that you dont like? Or the lyrics? or both even? |
| Sebastian 13.07.2007 17:12 |
Too repetitive IMO. |
| little.queenie 37630 13.07.2007 17:31 |
...ok |
| Treasure Moment 13.07.2007 18:06 |
its a great song |
| FreddiesGhettoTrench 13.07.2007 18:39 |
I like Delilah :) It's cute. lol and the guitar is very good. |
| Raf 13.07.2007 19:30 |
Not my favorite, but it's great as part of the album. I don't mind the track "alone", but I would never remove it from "Innuendo". |

I like Delilah. I think many people think it's annoying because of all the "meows" and the corny lyrics. But you gotta have fun once in a while, right? |
| Griffin 14.07.2007 07:38 |
drum machine...honestly...this song does not compare well to anything Roger Taylor actually plays on-- no, I don't like "Party" either. Some bands do well with drum machines, Queen has a few songs where it's cool in small amounts, "Under Pressure" for example. But for a band with a drummer as accomplished and skilled as Roger, a drum machine seems like a lack of effort. Sure I respect putting 'Delilah' on the album to support Freddie, but to me it's just a track better off as a rare b-side. |

i <3 Delilah!...Brian's guitar solo is bitchin' |
| Ella! Formerly known as the Metal Maiden 14.07.2007 16:32 |
Yeah, solo's awesome, too. |
| lillian 14.07.2007 17:08 |
I love that song...it is adorable.Why not sing about a cat there were a part of his l;ife :)The cats gave him pace and joy...as mine did for me :) |

What's wrong with Delilah?... Well.. She lives in New York City.. That's a thousand miles away... But tonight she looks so pretty... Wrong Delilah.;P I love Delilah! Mainly because I love cats. And I love Freddie Mercury. So what's not to love? |
| lillian 14.07.2007 21:44 |
^exactly! |
| Mr.Jingles 14.07.2007 21:47 |
The only reason why Delilah made into 'Innuendo' is because you can't say "NO" to a person who has a foot on the grave. It's sad but it's true. |
| lillian 14.07.2007 21:50 |
Thats a horrible thing to say. |
| The Real Wizard 15.07.2007 02:42 |
Sure, but it's true. I'm sure they made many compromises for Freddie's sake. They wanted to create as much music as they could while Freddie was still alive - not argue about it! |
| lillian 15.07.2007 02:44 |
i think it was great they did the song.i love queen for the oddest things which make me happy :) |
| maxpower 15.07.2007 09:35 |
try this , its a complete pile of shit, in terms of a song put the "freddie was in the last part of his life" emotional blackmail aside, its garbage |
| pittrek 15.07.2007 11:08 |
Only good thing on this song is Brian's "Meow". The rest sucks, especially musically |
| sparrow 21754 15.07.2007 16:54 |
so um.....what posessed freddie to put meows on there? XD could you imagine the convo? freddie: so guys, lets put some meows on here! brian: well, if we could put up with the opera part in borhap, this could work too! freddie: exactly! |
| lillian 15.07.2007 16:55 |
^cats do meow. |
| brENsKi 15.07.2007 17:06 |
it's a bag of self-indulgent shite |
| lillian 15.07.2007 17:08 |
Freddie had the right to sing about his cat.........at least it was not talking about the ugly stuff in the world.give the man a break. |

| lillian 15.07.2007 17:18 |
there is no need of you to be so rude. |
| ~im a fool~ 15.07.2007 20:58 |

nothing's wrong with delilah, it's just not a great song. I confess that the song has grown on me over the year's, it's not nearly as bad as some make it out to be. I'm a animal lover, so I could appreciate a song like this. I personally rather listen to delilah than some other bad songs, more of that jazz is far worse. |

I agree should have been a b-side. |

pet your cats for me folks-i would die to have one :( |
| QueenMercury46 16.07.2007 15:14 |
I love Delilah. Freddie loved his cats and wanted to write a song about one. I don't see anything wrong with it. I think it's adorable. I think Delilah would have loved it. :) |
