<P> The song was used in several TV shows and films such as Hot in Cleveland, Will & Grace, EastEnders, My Name is Earl, The King of Queens, the end credits of I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, The Simpsons, Shaun of the Dead, Peter's Friends, and The Secret Life of Pets . </P> <P> The music video, directed by Bruce Gowers, shows the band in a huge ballroom surrounded by over one thousand candles, including a huge chandelier hung from the ceiling . The video was filmed in April 1976 at Elstree Studios, London . Additionally, Deacon is seen playing a grand piano rather than the Wurlitzer he used on the recording . </P> <P> The song was composed by John Deacon in the key of C major with a meter of 4 / 4, in swing feel . </P> <P> The album A Night at the Opera features songs of numerous styles, including this three - minute pop song . Very unusual for the genre, there is no section appearing more than twice; characteristic of many Queen songs, as affirmed by Brian May . On the other hand, in terms of phrases and measures, there are numerous repetitions or variants . The form is cyclic and very similar to that of "Spread Your Wings" (1977). Another similarity between the two songs is the lack of (real) modulation . The arrangement features 3 and 4 - part vocal and guitar harmonies, bass (melodic approach), drums, and electric piano . This is Deacon's second recorded song and the first one released on single, some six months after the album - release . Mercury's lead vocal features lot of "special effects" (voice, rubato - ized rhythms, ornaments, slides). Mercury hits two sustained C s in the lead vocal track . </P>
