A question about Let Me Entertain You
| Rotwang 15.11.2005 09:51 |
Who is the female voice talking at the end of the song? |
| Rick 15.11.2005 09:58 |
One of the crew, I think. Could be anyone! Mary Austin, maybe? |
| Fairy 15.11.2005 10:05 |
I don't think it's Mary. Doesn't sound like her at all. |
| kagezan1313 15.11.2005 13:02 |
It's Jackie Gunn, president of the Queen Fan Club. I'd know that annoying voice anywhere. |

Then you've got a strange imagination - she wasn't employed by Queen until about 1983. |
| shanemcd 15.11.2005 20:06 |
Heres a long shot - could it be Rogers voice sped-up on tape ? |
| vicspec 15.11.2005 23:23 |
it is roy thomas baker's wife - she with german accent. |
| Knute 16.11.2005 23:53 |
Interesting question. I've also wondered who that female voice at the beginning of Brighton Rock was. |
| Rick 17.11.2005 06:25 |
Just a woman, I guess. |

If I'm not mistaken, she is saying something like 'oh, I've always wanted to be...' maybe somebody vomitous recorded at a queen aftershow party and put there on purpose...just to tell you that the price of fame is meeting people like that. |

That's what I hear anyway. |
| 7Innuendo7 17.11.2005 19:07 |
i think she says "i've always wanted to be a gourmet cook..." |
| Lester Burnham 17.11.2005 19:47 |
Yeah, that makes sense. |
| cmsdrums 22.11.2005 15:41 |
She says 'I've always wanted to be a groupie' and it could possibly be Barbara Valetin ?? |

Just a woman who has to sound like a reporter. |
| DreaminQueen 25.11.2005 15:42 |
The voice at the beginning of Brighton Rock when its like "Happy lil day Jimmy went away.." that one?? Thats Fred's voice, higher pitched, possibly did something with the tape |
| hoopymrprosser 25.11.2005 17:06 |
just listened to it again, she sounds like she has a south east accent, probably essex or kent and says "I miss my......" groupies aren't mentioned |
| Smitty 25.11.2005 21:31 |
-edit- |

Listen to the end of the track again, if you have the software you can slow it down too. The first part is quite clearly "I miss my" |
| Rien 27.11.2005 12:52 |
Hey where's my backstage-pass? Good grace, what an outragious costume! That Brian May, he's outta sight man Not many, not many I always wanted to be a groupie I can give you lessons |

I have another question about this song, and I know, impressive topic digging: According to Ultimate Queen: Let Me Entertain You Details of the released version can be found on the 'Jazz' album page. Alternate Ending This version is almost identical to the album version, the only changes are that it has a 'live' drum track, and an alternative ending. Where the normal version ends, this track continues with more undecipherable dialogue, then a singalong chorus of 'we are the champions, we are the champions, no time for losers 'cos we are the champions', which extends the track by approximately 19 seconds. Length 3:20. Does anyone have this? Can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks in advance. |

10 years later:):) God, I thought I was diehard, but you easily overdo me:) |

| Oscar J 25.07.2015 08:00 |
Holy crap, why on earth did they settle for the album version? |

Length 3:20.There's also a bit of guitar feedback at 1:53 that isn't on the album version, and the trill at 2:27 goes on for another five seconds. So it's clear that this mix was late in the game, but further work was done - including, unfortunately, the drum sound. The drums sound killer even on this crappy sounding convention recording. The Jazz album might have the worst drum sound ever to be heard on a rock album. It's horrifically bad. |
| Oscar J 28.07.2015 06:18 |
Yes. I don't understand why on earth they released it like that - back then they were still quite the perfectionists. |

I have to say until I saw this thread bumped forward from 10 years ago, I always thought & I'm talking from 1983 when I first bought Jazz, that the line was "I've always wanted to be in the movies". Learn something new every day. |
