Freddie sharing with humour, an 'in-the-moment' personal life experience, thank God most would never know, but he had to endure. Edit: I see no one has shared that Freddie wrote this entertaining music, lyrics encouraged by the weird mental stuff his medication caused him to handle...he and friend Peter Straker brainstormed the 'mad' references late into the night around the kitchen table - in fact the cd mentions Peter. This song tells me it's one example of Freddie turning lemons into lemonade.

[@grandtheftmanualv945]

Nice post. I was trying to think of a way of telling Harri the story but you put it just nicely! Freddie is an inspiration to all.

[@cspole3435]

He was so ill here. He has layers of thermal wear under that suit to fill out the clothes... so thin. But you're right. Much easier to watch than "These are the Days of our Lives"... I cry every time at that one. 😪

[@trevorgoddard2278]

The interesting thing about this video is although it was done just before 'best days of our lives' and Freddie is just as ill in both. This one makes us smile, and the other makes us cry.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Great reaction! I think you are right, Freddie would have been good at acting, but he was not interested. I think for Freddie, he thought that he was already acting when he was displaying different personas on stage and in his music.

[@hahatoldyouso]

One of my favourite songs. Freddie is singing about the effect of his AIDS/HIV medication!

[@tammyjackson3113]

Freddie was very funny even though he was sick, he was worried the penguin were too hot.haha. His aides med him feel crazy

[@mlevy15966]

The Miracle is one of the best Queen songs. It also had a very cute MV.

[@Danielik25]

Great video, one of my favorite. Freddie was so ill here, but perfect like always 👍👑💖

[@angelak.7365]

Freddie never wanted to act. Others have said he'd get bored as he had a short attention span. The person in the gorilla suit is rumored to be Freddie's close friend, Elton John.

[@janematthews3394]

Freddie helped directing this video (there's a "making of I'm going slightly mad" on youtube) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4uzfoV5mbVoqsU He said in the interviews (before he got ill) that if he decided to be an actor he wanted to do it properly, not like a rock star acting for fun, but like a real professional actor. He said that maybe in the future he'll do it. But sadly he didn't have time before it got too late... This song (written by Freddie) is about AIDS side effects or medicine's side effects (memory loss and dementia). Freddie was afraid of it, but fortunately his mind remained sharp until the end.

[@hkynuts11]

First time hearing this. Thank you. An in site to the end of his life.

[@jontastic]

Hilarious. I’ve loved the song. First time I’ve seen the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@HarriBestReactions]

Thanks for listening

[@sarahjackson2873]

A dying man giving his all up to nearly the end. Let. That sink in

[@bemused9522]

Interesting tidbit--Liza Minnelli did a cover of this song, but I prefer this original. There is a great memorial video to Freddy on youtube done to Bruce Springsteen's song "Streets of Philadelphia". Beautiful and moving homage to Mercury and how his death affected his friends.

[@leemcintyre9490]

So Glad to See Freddy and the Fellas doing such a Wimsecal, video considering what Poor Freddy was going through at the Time!😥 Kudos to you for finding a Video/ Song that I've Never heard!!

[@HarriBestReactions]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@trudehunnicutt8214]

Freddie was an actor every time he took the stage. Offstage he was very much the introvert.

[@joandeluca6846]

Freddie was asked if he’d ever thought about acting and he said ‘it wasn’t his bag’. His frost love was music and he wanted to fully explore and enjoy it. Watch the production video for Going Slightly Mad. It is both funny and sad. Freddie had so many wonderful ideas that were used in the final production.

[@debramoore7513]

I love this video for a couple reasons: 1) Anything Queen, right? 2) And I think Freddie’s theatre work is fantastic! I truly believe that if Freddie was alive today he would still be doing music & video productions. I heard a rumor that Elton John was the “gorilla”. Freddie was on AIDS meds which he said made him feel like he was “going slightly mad”. Brian is a huge advocate for animals rights so he was excited about the penguins!! Check out BREAKTHRU, SCANDAL, HEADLONG, THE MIRACLE, I’M THE INVISIBLE MAN official videos.

[@grandtheftmanualv945]

Nice reaction Harri. You show decent respect to the artists you watch and always give your honest thoughts. Thanks man.

[@HarriBestReactions]

My pleasure

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

It's very perceptive of you to bring up the acting question! Actually, Freddie said he HAD been approached about doing movies. But he said in an interview: "That's not my bag."😂 He commented more on how actors - once they were successful - usually wanted to get into music; and that the same was true in-reverse for people in music being bitten w "the acting bug"... But, he didn't feel the need/desire to go looking for another creative outlet, because he was happy/had plenty of room to be creative within the context of Queen. And as-far-as doing something like Broadway, he said he would get BORED, having to do the exact same act each time... which is the same reason he never wanted to have choreography in Queen's shows: He wanted to be able to just go onstage and have freedom "to do whatever feels right". Freddie & Brian May both also said that Freddie would NEVER do Broadway, because Fred would NEVER want to do matinees!! (Too early in the day.)

[@grandtheftmanualv945]

I always said that Freddie (the '70-'74 image) would have made the perfect Frank N Furter from Rocky Horror Show! I used to ache to see Freddie act in something, he was just so commanding and captivating.

[@vincemandarano9607]

Actually the medication he was taking to prolong his life had all kinds of side effects like hallucinations...this song is about how he was physically feeling from the meds

[@HarriBestReactions]

i had no idea..so sad..Still entertaining us even at his own detriment😪😟

[@vincemandarano9607]

@@HarriBestReactions i agree

[@cherylalexander1948]

The song was written because Freddie was extremely I'll at that point and was suffering from some aids related dementia.

[@mori1bund]

The "I Want To Break Free" video made me think that Freddie had some comedic talent. ^^

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

❤️😀👍❤️😀🌼

[@yusufmalik575]

This was actually Queens last video with Freddie Mercury , then they released the song “ The Show Must Go On “ but no new material since , as you said, Freddie was really sick at the time

[@grandtheftmanualv945]

Sorry, actually Days Of Our Lives was the final video made by Freddie. The last shot where he looks at us with THAT look, is his goodbye and no further (official) video was made. Maybe not reflected in order of release, I admit, but nonetheless.

[@yusufmalik575]

@@grandtheftmanualv945 you are right I didn’t express myself correctly , What I was trying to say was that this is the last video where Freddie actually actively participated , But technically you are right , “ Days of our lives “ was actually his last video

[@grandtheftmanualv945]

@@yusufmalik575 to be fair, I think that TATDOUL video was meant to be released as the final video but Freddie died and it was released as a double with Bo Rhap. This left The Show Must Go On as the final single. I think it was planned to be the other way, and would have made more sense from a 'story telling' point of view: Freddie says that he'll keep fighting on, then dies and says goodbye in Days video. As it turns out, the timing of his death meant that Show is more of a poignant final single than was originally planned! If people doubt the notion that Freddie's final year was planned, just listen to the lyrics in Only The Good Die Young!

[@claudiabetia5515]

I like songs like My melancholy Blues, Is this the world we created, Spread your wings each a soundtrack to my life since I became a Queen fan way back. If you like great acting in music videos have a look at “Mein Herz brennt” (My Heart is burning - and this is not a love song) from Rammstein, piano version. Probably best to watch either the normal video or live performance first to compare.

[@sherryheim5504]

I think that Freddie was having some memory problems caused by AIDS as well as from some of his meds. Freddie really faced his situation very bravely and never complained, he sort of just went with the flow and this song is of his way of just accepting his situation at that particular time. That is my take on it, and I love this song. You are right, it is a fun, feel good song.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

He did not have memory problem his afraid of those side effects.

[@sherryheim5504]

@@ZENOBlAmusic Members of Queen said Freddie was having memory problems. AIDS related dimentia is how they referred to it.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

@@sherryheim5504 When and where did they say it. I would definitely be interested to know.

[@sherryheim5504]

@@ZENOBlAmusic I looked for it yesterday but there are so many interviews that I haven't found it yet. Both Brian and Roger were talking about making music toward the end and they mentioned it at that point. I am thinking that they were talking about laying down as many tracks as they could at Fredie's request in that same interview.

[@barbaraaschwingelswihart572]

A fun video you'll like is. The Invisible Man.. also The Miracle. The tophet. White man. Innuindo

[@bluebell3720]

It was so silly and simple but it was such a brave thing to do He wasn't well enough to spend much time in the studio throwing around ideas At this point just wearing clothes was uncomfortable for him He came up with the song messing around with his friend at home Told the band when the director had pretty what they thought he wanted he then came in It was brave to do a video when he was so ill he doesn't look like him I dont know if this is inappropriate or not but I think hes still good looking and the style of costume helps To me he looks iller inthe other video He would have been getting stressed at this point however brave you are it takes great deal of courage to accept your dying Why I have do much respect for him but he must have had times it was difficult He would have also been warned that in the later stages he may start to have memory issues and such Also doing this once people knew I hope would give others strength seeing him still performing. .and not hiding how I'll he was And his voice in this is amazing

[@HarriBestReactions]

So hard..especially for someone who loved life and living as much as Freddie

[@Boyblunder2k9]

The track is based on the emotion struggles and turmoil of his aids status.

[@ShanesQueenSite]

It’s an interesting song and a great video but it’s not one of my favourite Queen songs
