Am I losing the plot- Bohemian Rhapsody!

Ok so we’re all familiar with the song bohemian rhapsody by queen right!? I’ve been singing it all my life, and I specifically remember singing this on karaoke on far more than 1 occasion, with the lyrics up on the screen, and have always seen it/sung it as ‘mama, just killed a man, put a gun up to his head, pulled the trigger now he’s dead’. Does anyone else remember this version?? Because why when I just put it on the Alexa to wash the dishes; and then googled the lyrics after as I was confused, is it saying ‘mama, I just killed a man, put a gun AGAINST his head’??? I don’t know I am under a lot of stress right now so maybe I’m just losing it altogether!

Unfortunately you have just slipped into an alternate reality. I was your version in your reality but here in this reality it has always been 'against'. At this very moment the 'you' that belongs here but has accidentally swapped with you is having a very similar but opposite discussion on an alternate Mumsnet.

Yep my thoughts exactly!!

It's always been against his head

I was going to say the exact same thing.

Clearly you are from a parallel universe OP.

Hang your head in shame OP!!

It has always been against and I’m shocked you are questioning it!!

Against. I'm old enough to remember it being in the charts at number 1 for weeks when I was in the upper sixth (1975-76) and bought 'A night at the opera', so heard the song MANY times!

KermitTheToad · 11/05/2026 19:28

Don't worry OP. I always thought the lyrics to Under Pressure were ......Pressure, pissing down on me, pissing down on you, oh no man I swore!
