Hronologija singlova Queena

"I'm Going Slightly Mad" je singl britanske rock grupe Queen. Pjesmu je napisao Freddie Mercury a objavljena je 4. marta 1991. godine kao drugi singl albuma Innuendo. Tekst pjesme i prateći video spot projektuju pjesmu kao neobičnu, duhovitu i veselu. Odlikuje se solo dionicom slajd gitare Briana Maya.^[1]

Pjesma je inspirisana raznim oblicima ludila od kojih pate bolesnici od SIDE (kroz što je vjerovatno i sam prolazio u vrijeme pisanja teksta za ovu pjesmu).

Iste godine objavljena je na kompilacijskom albumu Greatest Hits II.

Omot singla je inspirisan Grandville-ovom ilustracijom, kao uostalom i druge pjesme sa albuma.

Muzički spot

Snimanje spota bilo je potresno svjedočanstvo za sve prisutne. Mercury je na snimanje stigao u bolesničkom krevetu na kojem se i odmarao tokom pauza snimanja. Spot je snimljen u crno-bijeloj tehnici da se prekrije Mercuryjevo stanje, koji je bio našminkan teškom šminkom i nosio je duplo odijelo da se prekrije slabost njegovog organizma. Brian May je obučen u pingvina, Roger Taylor je na glavi nosio čajnik, John Deacon je bio obučen u dvorsku ludu dok je Mercury na glavi nosio bunt banana. Čovjek koji je odjeven u gorilu zapravo je pjevač Elton John. 1991. godine, ova pjesma je objavljena je na kompilaciji Greatest Hits II.
