The story behind

Queen recorded Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon in 1974 and 1975, during the production of A Night at the Opera. Freddie Mercury's voice is distorted because he sang inside a beer bottle. The song lasts just over a minute, one of the shortest tracks by the group. It was released along with other pieces that formed the most expensive album of the time. The idea of the song seems to come from a casual moment, as if someone was looking at the sky while relaxing on a Sunday. The recording was made in several London studios and surrounding areas, with different equipment and techniques. The song is not the most famous track on the album, but it holds a place in the history of Queen. ↓ Skip to chords
