Has Zappa's Bobby Brown innuendoes on Freddie ?

[Kaidathe]

A month ago I heard on the radio Frank Zappa's Bobby Brown in full length and I
was shocked by lines including the forename Freddy. Today I d/l the lyrics of
the song and saw that a certain Freddy was mentioned in contextes of
homosexuality. As there were rumors that Freddie Mercury was gay I was shocked
when thinking that Zappa could place innuendoes on Freddie in his song. Did
anyone hear, what Zappa said who this song was about in these stanzas ?

Here are the full lyrics:

Bobby Brown - Frank Zappa

Hey there, people, I'm Bobby Brown,they say I'm the cutest boy in town.
My car is fast, my teeth are shiny,I tell all the girls they can kiss my heiny.
Here I am at a famous school;I'm dressing sharp and I'm acting cool.
Got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper,
let her do all the work and maybe later I'll rape her.
Oh, God, I am the Amarican dream,I do not think I'm too extreme,
and I'm a handsome son of a bitch;I'm gonna get a good job and be real rich.
[ATLAS CHORUS]Women's liberationcame creeping all across the nation.
I tell you people, I was not readywhen I fucked this dyke by the name of
Freddy.
She gave a little speech then,she tried to make me say when;
She had my balls in a vice but she left the dick,
I guess it's still hooked on but now it shoots to quick.
Oh, God, I am the American dream,but now I smell like vaseline,
and I'm a miserable son of a bitch;Am I a boy or a lady, I don't know which.
[ATLAS CHORUS]I went out and bought me a leisure suit,
I jingle my chains, but I'm still kind of cute.Got a job doing radio promo,
and none of the jocks kan even tell I'm a homo.Eventually me and a friend,
sort of drifted along in to S&M.I can take about an hour on the tower of power
as long as I get a little golden shower.Oh, God, I am the American dream,
with a spindle up my butt 'til it makes me scream.
And I'll do anything to get a head;
I lay awake nights saying "Thank you, Freddy."Oh God, oh God, I'm so fantastic.
Thanks to Freddy, I'm a sexual spastic.And my name is Bobby Brown,
Watch me now, I'm going down.[ATLAS CHORUS]

P.S. (Without the possible Freddie innuendo the song is funny)

Here's my 2 cents.

I don't think that 'Bobby' has anything to do with Freddie Mercury. I am
a huge Zappa fan (Along with a Huge Queen fan) and I have never heard of
anything possibly linking the two.

1) I'm not sure but is the verb 'dyke' not reffering to a female?
(Women's liberation came creeping....)
2) The names are written differently (Freddie vs. Freddy)

Yeah I had thought the same thing about the dyke thing...

By the way, what's up with the Crown Jewels Box set?????

if anyone wants a copy of the Ultimate Queen Collection Box (20 Gold
CD's), I have one that I have to sell along with many other queen items
for sale. E-mail me.

I think its about the black artist named Bobby Brown
The Freddy name-checked is a dyke - a gay woman.

"At Kensington Market we'd get marijuana mixed with jasmine tea, and then take it in turns to separate the grass from the tea. One day Tupp took it home and hadn't got time to separate it. Now in those days Freddie wouldn't go near dope, but he didn't know that it was still all mixed up and made himself what he thought was a pot of jasmine tea. When we got home he was smashed out of his head! He had a Frank Zappa album We're Only In It For The Money, and on one track there's a noise like a stylus scraping across a record - but it's meant to sound like that; Well, Freddie was busy wheeling around the room, arms flapping, and he'd put on his Zappa LP. When it came to this bit he thought somebody had scratched his precious album and went flying across to the turntable, throwing himself on the LP to check it. He was clean out of his box that day!"
