| It's a original song... it isn't the best... but it's cool..... what a kind of lucky cat... one of the best musicians of all time dedicated a song to his cat... cool (like paul mccartney to his dog, "Martha my dear" i think), the freddie's cats lived better than me and many others ja ja ja ja... Mercury lives forever... | |

| Freddie's song about one of his cats, Delilah. Roger stormed out and hated it and refused to do it. But Freddie was dying so he won out. haha i love how immature they all were. I think delilah may have been his black cat... but i can't quite remember | |

| I think that this is a beautiful and sentimental moment expressed in Freddie's magical way. At first I wasn't sure about this song but after a few listens you realize that it is a totally original creation. Freddie Mercury was a song writing genius. | |
