Don't Stop Me Now - Queen

Blurb:
Don't Stop Me Now is a 1979 hit single by Queen, from their 1978 album Jazz. Words and music were by Freddie Mercury. It was recorded in August/September 1978 in Nice, France.

Musically, the song is based around Mercury's piano playing, with John Deacon and Roger Taylor providing a bass guitar and drums backing track. On the studio version, Brian May's only guitar playing is in his guitar solo, however on live versions performed on the band's 1978 and 1979 tours, May would also play rhythm guitar throughout the rest of the song to add a rockier feeling to it. The song also provides an example of Queen's trademark style of multitrack harmony vocals for the chorus lines. Several recordings were laid over each other to achieve the final sound.

The lyrics have cosmic imagery describing feelings of power and exhilaration, for example "I'm gonna go, go, go there's no stopping me / I'm burning through the sky yeah 200 degrees…", although more careful examination reveals numerous metaphorical or even blatant sexual references. The song has been described as what "may be the only overtly homosexual song the band did".

The single reached #9 in the UK charts but only #86 in the US.

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive, and the world turning inside out yeah!
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now, don't stop me
'cause I'm having a good time, having a good time

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me

Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time

That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit

I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball, dont stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now (cause I'm havin a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm havin a good time)
