Kenny Everett: Well…
Freddie Mercury: So I don’t
need to play my album, really [Laughs]
Kenny Everett: And also The Eagles, the three for your Christmas
stocking, folks. This is me talking to Freddie Mercury of Queen, who must be a
millionaire by now, what Freddie?
Freddie Mercury: Oh in what
way?
Kenny Everett: Financially and commercially, I mean you keep buying
these paintings and things.
Freddie Mercury: Yes
because I like them. Actually it’s what I’ve been interested in a long while,
and now that I’ve got a little bit of money to throw around. I thought I might
as well go and buy it. So I went to Sotheby’s the other day, and got a few
paintings. The dealers weren’t pleased at all! [Laughs].
Kenny Everett: Actually,
you’ve brought champagne with you, which is very good of you.
Freddie Mercury: But of
course dear, it travels with me everywhere.
Kenny Everett: You make Gerald Harper look quite cheap. Thank you for
that [Laughs]. Usually when I come in here, the place is full of old dead
bottles, you know. And green fly but we’ve made him look peculiar today. Right,
The Millionaire Waltz which is the next track on the LP, what’s this?
Freddie Mercury: Well it’s
all about John Reid actually.
Kenny Everett: You’re manager, well he’ll love all that.
Freddie Mercury: I might as
well…
Kenny Everett: It’s a bit gay and weird and strange, but it grows on
you.
Freddie Mercury: It’s very
out of the Queen format, really and we thought we’d like to do that on every
album. I think I went a bit mad on this one. But it’s turned out alright I
think, it makes people laugh sometimes.
Kenny Everett: It’s very jolly, let’s have a listen to it.
THE MILLIONAIRE WALTZ
Freddie Mercury: Ooh,
lovely! Actually I’d like to say that Brian did do a very good job on the
actual guitars. He’s really taken his guitar orchestration to its limits, I
don’t know how he’s ever going to out do that one actually. And John played
very good bass on that. I think it’s good and we’re patting ourselves on the
back again. I really think it’s worked out well especially from the
orchestration point of view. Because he’s really used his guitar in a different
sort of way, I know he’s done lots of orchestrations before.
