Killer Queen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She keeps moet and chandon in her pretty cabinet
'let them eat cake' she says
Just like marie antoinette
A built in remedy for khrushchev and kennedy
And anytime an invitation you can decline
Caviar and cigarettes well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a killer queen gunpowder gelatine
Dynamite with a lazer beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite want to try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation she spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from china went down to geisha minah
Then again incidentally if you're that way inclined (she's a
Killer queen)
Perfume came naturally from paris (naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

She's a killer queen gunpowder gelatine

Guaranteed to blow your mind

Insatiable an appetite want to try?

Drop of a hat she's as willing as a playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild - wild
She's out to get you

She's a killer queen gunpowder gelatin

Overall Meaning

The song "Killer Queen" by Queen is a tribute to a certain type of powerful and seductive woman who is impossible to resist. The lyrics describe her as having impeccable taste and style, as well as an insatiable appetite for luxury and pleasure. She's able to effortlessly control men with her charm and allure, and she's always on the lookout for her next target. She's like a force of nature, unpredictable and uncontrollable. The song paints a picture of a woman who is both dangerous and irresistible, someone who can toy with men's hearts and leave them wanting more.


The lyrics draw on a variety of images and cultural references in order to create this portrait of a "killer queen." The phrase "let them eat cake" is a reference to Marie Antoinette and her notorious insensitivity to the plight of the poor. The mention of Khrushchev and Kennedy is a nod to the Cold War, and the idea that this woman has connections to powerful political figures. The image of a "built-in remedy" suggests that she's able to solve any problem that might arise, and that nothing can stand in her way. Through it all, the song maintains a playful and decadent tone, emphasizing the sheer pleasure and excitement of being in the presence of such a woman.

@SolidAsianGold

The year was 1974.
The month was October.
It took three albums in America.
But they had finally arrived.
Three was the charm.
The third album produced this infinitely iconic gem.
Much of the music of '74-'76 was goosebump provoking, it was that good.
It was their first, but most certainly not their last.
We would hear this throughout all of 1975 and 1976 on the pocket radios.
WPGC, WASH, and WMOD - Washington D.C.

And after this hit, Queen would become known forever.

Written and sung by one Freddie Mercury.
There was no shame in Freddie.
