Flick of the Wrist
"Flick of the Wrist" is a song by British rock band Queen, released as a Double A-side with "Killer Queen" in the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, the United States and most other territories. It was written by Freddie Mercury for the 1974 album ''Sheer Heart Attack''.
==Background==
Freddie Mercury never explained whether the unpleasant character in the song was based on anyone in particular. It has been speculated that the lyrics describe manager Norman Sheffield, based on the fact that the song "Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...)", written the next year in 1975, was confirmed to be about Sheffield and what Mercury perceived as his unfair treatment of the group. While "Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...)" was written after the band's contract with Sheffield and Trident Studios had ended, "Flick of the Wrist" was written and recorded amid this strained relationship. The song includes Freddie Mercury singing octave vocals throughout the verses, and the chorus features a call and response style section between the backing and lead vocal parts. When Brian May returned to work having recovered from his hepatitis, he had not heard the song before he recorded his guitar and backing vocals.
