Queen referencing Star Wars in Bicycle Race (1 Viewer)

[yeji]

You say shark, I say hey man
Jaws was never my scene
And I don't like Star Wars



This song was originally released as a B-Side to their hit Fat Bottomed Girls.

The lyrics reference a number of topics of the time and those include social, political, and pop culture references, such as religion, Vietnam War, Watergate, cocaine, fictional characters, actor John Wayne, and the films Jaws and Star Wars.

Funny thing is that Brian May has said that the song was not an autobiographical song of Mercury and that Mercury did not really enjoy bicycling. And despite the lyric "I don't like Star Wars", Mercury was a Star Wars fan.

The legend even rode on Darth Vader

What else is as iconic as this?​
