Epic Rap Battles of History
Frank Sinatra vs Freddie Mercury Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With those teeth when you're through there'll be no dust left to bite!
Christ, newsflash, kid: this is show business!
Show some class when you dress, shave that bush off your lips!
Your band's named Queen, huh? Ain't that sweet!
You dance like you rode a bicycle race with no seat!
That's what's wrong with you people, you'll do anything to get famous!
You changed your name to Mercury,
You think I haven't heard those things before?
You're just a bully who's too scared to go to war!
You had a hit song called "My Way", but someone else wrote it
You're the least talented rat in your whole pack of rodents
You've got four notes in your whole range, you can't act, and you can't dance!
I'm more powerful than you when I'm wearing women's pants!
Why do you stand there in a suit? it's like you're trying to bore me
When I rock the UK, South America gets horny
Because my songs have balls! They're the anthems of victory!
Your music is like the sound track to a vasectomy
You're in the pocket of the mafia, and everybody knows
Guinea Dago, Guinea Dago? Guinea Dago, Figaro!
Easy, Jaws of Life, I can't stand a racist
I love the coloreds and the queers, just ask Sammy Davis
Look, we all want to swing, baby, but you took it too far
You played butthole roulette and you lost the draw!
I took one for both teams from a disease no one knew existed
I didn't leave a mark on history, I French kissed it!
I'm a champion of the world, extinguished in his prime!
So kiss my ass Frankie, but you'll have to wait in line!
In these lyrics from the Epic Rap Battles of History between Frank Sinatra and Freddie Mercury, the two legends engage in a heated exchange of insults aimed at highlighting their differences in style, talent, and personality. Sinatra takes the first shot, mocking Mercury's appearance with a crude remark about his teeth and urging him to dress and act more like a gentleman. He also tries to belittle Mercury's fame by suggesting that he and his band will do anything to get famous, including changing their name to Queen and dancing awkwardly.
Mercury, however, is not one to back down from a challenge, and he quickly fires back with a scathing retort that cuts Sinatra down to size. He accuses Sinatra of being a bully and a fraud, claiming that he had a hit song ("My Way") that someone else wrote and that he lacks talent and range as a singer and performer. He also calls out Sinatra's ties to the mafia and his racist views, while celebrating his own status as a champion of the world and a trailblazer who took risks and broke barriers.
Overall, these lyrics offer a fascinating glimpse into the personalities and styles of two iconic musicians who left an indelible mark on the world of music and pop culture.
