Awesome! One idea behind the message of the song is about embracing nonconformity, to not to follow the pack or blindly do what everyone else is doing, just think for yourself, love who you love and live life the way you want! It champions individuality and is exactly what Queen was and still is! The idea for the bikes came from watching the tour de France, the naked part of course was all Freddie. In case you didn't catch it, the lines about not liking Star Wars or believing in Superman were mean't as a joke (Brian May clarified that on twitter). During the Jazz tour concerts, Freddie would ride on the shoulders of a big burly guy dressed as either Superman or Darth Vader during the finale singing We will rock you. Also, Brian May is of course a huge Star Wars scifi fan!

I did read they were a little drunk when they came up with the idea for a naked bicycle race and apparently before they returned the bikes they had to replace the seats.

Thanks I adore all Queen! Your reactions crack me up. So genuine. This song usually was performed live with the song Fat Bottomed Girls which guitarist Brian May wrote because Freddie liked both girls and boys with a little junk in their trunk. Lol. Both fun songs.

Let's be real. This video doesn't celebrate nudity, it objectifies women for profit. Unfortunately, be it for economic reasons or literal survival, the oppressed are often compelled to participate in their own oppression. Sort of like Jewish internees playing piano for nazis.
