![Freddie Mercury Mr Bad Guy Illustrated Songbook with chords
This YouTube description is tailored for a chord songbook video, highlighting the synth-pop and disco vibes of Freddie’s solo work while providing interesting trivia for fans.
Title Idea: Freddie Mercury - Mr. Bad Guy | Full Album Chord Songbook & Play-Along
Description:
Take a deep dive into the legendary Freddie Mercury’s only true solo studio album! Released on April 29, 1985, Mr. Bad Guy saw Freddie stepping away from Queen’s rock roots to explore his love for disco, synth-pop, and dance music.
In this video, we break down the chords and progressions for every track on the album, from the high-energy I Was Born To Love You to the soul-stirring There Must Be More To Life Than This. Whether you’re on piano or guitar, these charts capture the flamboyant genius of Freddie’s songwriting.
✨ Album Dedication:
Freddie famously dedicated this album to his cats: To my cat Jerry—also Tom, Oscar and Tiffany, and all the cat lovers across the universe—screw everybody else!
🎵 TRACKLIST & SONG FACTS:
1. Let’s Turn It On
The perfect upbeat opener. Interestingly, Freddies One, two, three count-in from these sessions was later used in the 2015 track Little Freddie Goes to School.
2. Made in Heaven
The original title track for the album! While this version is pure 80s synth, the song was later reworked by the remaining members of Queen for the 1995 album of the same name.
3. I Was Born to Love You
One of Freddies most recognizable solo hits. Did you know the cassette version of the album actually featured a longer, extended version of this track?
4. Foolin’ Around
Showcasing Freddie’s playful side and his collaboration with co-producer Reinhold Mack at Musicland Studios in Munich.
5. Your Kind of Lover
A classic example of the dance-rock territory Freddie wanted to explore outside the constraints of the band.
6. Mr. Bad Guy
The title track. Freddie changed the album name from Made in Heaven to Mr. Bad Guy just weeks before the records were pressed!
7. Man Made Paradise
Originally rehearsed by Queen during The Works sessions in 1983, Freddie ultimately decided it fit better as a solo piece.
8. There Must Be More to Life Than This
Perhaps the most famous lost collaboration. Freddie originally recorded this as a duet with Michael Jackson, though the solo version appears here.
9. Living on My Own
The music video features footage from Freddies legendary 39th birthday Black and White Drag Ball in Munich—a party so wild it was initially banned by the BBC.
10. My Love Is Dangerous
A high-energy synth track that captures the experimental Hot Space era energy.
11. Love Me Like There’s No Tomorrow
Inspired by Freddies relationship with Austrian actress Barbara Valentin. The title is a nod to a film she starred in, Küß’ mich als gäb’s kein morgen.
