Killer Queen
“Killer Queen” was the third most famous and successful song of Queen’s. Freddie said about the meaning of the song: “It’s about a high-class call girl. I’m trying to say that classy people can be whores as well. That’s what the song is about, though I’d prefer people to put their interpretation upon it – to read into it what they like.”

One line of the song is “Let them eat cake’ she says, just like Marie Antoinette” and it’s a historical reference. Marie Antoinette (the Queen of France) said “Let them eat cake” after hearing how peasants of the land had no bread to eat.
