Go To


  • Bad Export for You: The original South Korean release dropped "Tie Your Mother Down" and "Teo Torriatte" thanks to their lyrical content. In particular, the latter was removed thanks to the country banning Japanese cultural imports in the wake of Imperial Japan's occupation of the Korean peninsula from 1910 to 1945.
  • Banned Episode: "Teo Torriatte" was originally banned in South Korea thanks to its inclusion of Japanese-language lyrics, which violated the country's ban on Japanese cultural imports. The track would later be restored for a 1992 reissue and the 2011 remaster.
  • Creator-Driven Successor: The album can be thought of as a "sequel" to A Night at the Opera. They're both named after Marx Brothers films, the album art is almost exactly the same with a black background rather than white, and many of the songs parallel each other. "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Somebody to Love" or "Teo Torriate", "'39" and "Long Away", "The Prophet's Song" and "White Man", "You're My Best Friend" and "You and I", and very specifically, both albums open with Epic Riff-driven Hard Rock tunes ("Death on Two Legs [Dedicated to...]" and "Tie Your Mother Down").
  • Similarly Named Works: "Somebody to Love" is also the name of songs by Jefferson Airplane, Justin Bieber, and OneRepublic, among others.
