I'm going slightly mad - Queen

"I'm Going Slightly Mad" is a Queen song, written by Freddie Mercury. It is the second track on the 1991 album Innuendo. Although the lyrics and the accompanying music video seem to project the song as humorous and light-hearted, it is believed that the dark quirky humor [1], the eerie keyboards, and the unsettling instrumentation all reflect gloomier undertones, inspired by AIDS-induced dementia. Actress Cleo Rocos has confirmed this notion, stating that Mercury had explained to her and mutual friend Kenny Everett that the song documents the tragic mental decline he suffered during the final years of his life.[2] The single cover was inspired by a Grandville illustration (as are the others from the album).
