Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
It's so easy when you know the rules

"Play the Game" by Queen is a classic rock song that encourages listeners to be open to love and ready to take risks. It begins with the lyrics "Open up your mind and let me step inside, Rest your weary head and let your heart decide." These lines imply that the singer is encouraging his partner to abandon their reservations and let their heart guide them towards love. Moreover, the singer emphasizes that love is simple and easy, reminding listeners that "It's so easy when you know the rules, all you have to do is fall in love."
In the next section of the song, the lyrics take a more explicit tone. The singer suggests that when someone is feeling low or their resistance is low, they should let go and enjoy life. Lyrics like "Light another cigarette and let yourself go," emphasizes the theme of self-indulgence and encourages listeners to seize the day and take pleasure in life. The song's overall message is that love is both a game and an invitation to enjoy life, and that one should be open to it and not play hard to get.

Things I love about this video:
1) Brian, John, & Roger are dressed nicely and Freddie is dressed in a t-shirt
2) at 2:10 Deacon refuses to sing & continues silently playing his base guitar
3) Freddie jumping onto Taylor's drums
4) Freddie stealing May's guitar & throwing it back at him
Why did ~500 people dislike this video?

Not their most known but probably one of the best songs in C major ever done. The range is incredible! Almost like Bohemian Rhapsody but in miniature form.

Very well known to me, I was literally waiting for it to come out. I bought the Crazy Little Thing Called Love 45, and I was anticipating a new Queen album. This song was next on the radio.
