The first part is really edited. No offense to WhatMustHeThink, but the actual phrase is
"This is about a dirty, nasty man. We call him motherfucker. Do you know what motherfucker means? We call him, we also call him, Death on Two Legs..."
one thing i have always wondered about this, is there a copy of the record without the beeps?
do you think if they rerelease it they would remove thme? or is it even possible? like maybe its on the master?
and why did they bleep them out in thefirst place? the bleep those swears but not in other shows?
Yeah...the inspiration of the song was Freddie's frustration with their management at the time. There's some elaboration on it in the beginning of the "A Night at the Opera" documentary. Just to venture a guess as to what he said in the bleeped part..."This is about a stupid motherfucker, we call him...Death On Two Legs!"

Good point Stateside. I think because it's "cool" to be censored, it proves that you are an existing and somewhat an annoying and rebel entity. IMHO, I don't think QUEEN were that kind of band in 79 anymore...
