People!!! I have a question... what you think is the history of this song? (if you can see a narration of sucess)...
I think the song talk about one man who kills his boy friend and before that he (the killer) call his mom and tell she about the murder, and before end the call he start to say to the death body:

So you think you can stone me and spit in
my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me
to die
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
I just gotta get out - just gotta get right
outta here......

Freddy's Oedipus complex in song. His mom kills a guy; he takes the rap. He awaits death by execution, or suicide, and he'll go to hell for her. Nothing really mattering, he pleads with her to go on.

Jacquelyn - It certainly has nothing to do with his battle with HIV, especially since he started working on the song in the late 60's, released it in 1975, and died of HIV in 1991. Freddie repeatedly said that some of the lyrics had some meaning to him, but the song was more of an exercise in being able to write a song that had no chorus and comprised several difference components i.e. ballads, solos etc. Death and contrition it may be about, but certainly not Freddie's.

This song is already out before he was even diagnosed with AIDS. Keep your facts right because you are misleading the real meaning of the song. As for the meaning, Freddy Mercury is the only one who knows the real meaning of this song and we also have our different meanings of it and to which we can speculate but it's not about his struggles with AIDS because I think it's just a story in his creative mind, like any other song that wasn't really related to the songwriter's life.

Bohemian Rhapsody i about a young inmate in a State Prison, who has to share his cell with a very large anti-social rapist called Scaramouche. The lyrics are sung in anticipation of his next nightly encounter with this cellmate.

Jaquelyn, Freddy wrote this song in the early 70's, and he died in 91.
This song could be about the death penalty, or about a young man who made a stupid mistake and immediately regretted it. Or maybe both.

Todos parecen tener razon. Fredy dijo que no tenia significado, de la misma forma que un pintor afirma que su pintura no significa nada, pero al pintar realmente el pintor piensa en algo lo cual se refleja en su arte. la cancion tiene un doble o incluso un triple significado.

1- El que le dio fredy.
2- El que le da el la pesona que escucha.
3- El Verdadero.

Fredy conocia parte del Verdadero significado puesto que el la escribio. pero ignoraba algunas cosas.
El que la escucha puede conocer parte del significado pero no lograra conocerlo en su totalidad. tendria que haber vivido desde el inicio de los tiempos. y seguir viviendo un poco mas de lo que podremos vivir.

en todo caso es

All art is meant to be interpreted individually. I like reading what people think the song is about even if exact opposite of what I think, no one is wrong. Art is about arousing the senses, the more the better.

This song is the confession of a man that is on the verge of death. He is already hallucinating and also he started to regret the bad things he's done in his life........it is a brilliant song indeed...not just also tackles relationship with god and the devil but also reflects the love for a mother

Scaramouche, is a roguish clown character of the Italian comedia dell'arte who wears a black mask and black trousers, shirt and hat. He is usually portrayed as a buffoon or boastful clown
and the word fandango is actually a couple dance starting slowly and then with increasing tempo, originating in Spain probably in the 18th century.
