[edit] Sound sample

Hi! I've added a 21-second sample of the song, though I did the beginning part. Should I have done a different part of the song? —THIS IS MESSEDOCKER (TALK) 06:15, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

No, the beginning is fine. Thanks for your time :).—♦♦ SʘʘTHING^(Я) 07:26, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Overtly homosexual?

What is so homosexual about this song? MatteusH 00:52, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

It is homosexual because the song is talking about sex, but the man singing the song says "I'm gonna make a super-sonic man out of you." This hints to homosexual man-on-man sex. Also, it should be noted that the lead singer of Queens was gay.

Actually, in the middle of the song, he does say, "make a supersonic woman of you." Perhaps it's a bisexual song...but no, it is very gay, isn't it?

Who says "super-sonic man" refers to sex? Find some sources that document this so-called "homosexuality" of the song. Otherwise saying that Don't Stop Me Now is a gay song should be treated as WP:OR.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING^(Я) 07:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I was going to say something about this a while ago. It's not about homosexual sex any more than heterosexual sex. And Freddie Mercury wasn't gay, per-se. He was bisexual and went through stronger phases of homosexuality. At his death, he announced that he had been a heterosexual for many years and had stopped dabbling. --linca^linca 10:43, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually. one verse says supersonic man, another says supersonic woman, so while it's probably referencing sex, the actual type of sex is highly ambiguous. Besides, whoever thinks that this is the "gayest" Queen song has obviously never heard Good_old_fashioned_lover_boy. That song is much, much more suggestive. I agree, that comment is WP:OR and should be removed. 97.82.247.200 04:11, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I can't see any reason to keep the quote about the song being 'overtly homosexual,' as it is no more homosexual than many of Queen's other sexually-related songs. The reference cited is merely the opinion of someone with a web site. Tegrenath 04:52, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

First of all, the lyric is "THEY want to make a super-sonic man out of you." Second any statement that it's their "gayest song" is OR, unless provided by at at least more than just one critic, you know, to reach a consensus. True it's pretty flamboyant, but that does not necessarily mean gay, at least not more so than other of their similarly energetic songs. And anyone reading sexual metaphors or meanings into the song is doing so in light of the fact the Mercury was gay/bi. A layman would probably just consider it a funky tune.
