Queen drummer Roger Taylor on the song he wrote for A Night at the Opera, “I’m in Love With My Car.” OC:…cars myself. :25
“I love cars. I always have and I still do. I wrote it about a guy who worked for us at the time who was just so crazy about cars. He had an old Ferrari Dino, it’s a beautiful car. And he was so proud of this car he spent all the time polishing it, cradling it, rubbing it. And it was to him and all the guys that spend all their time loving their car. It’s as simple as that, really, ‘cause I could relate to that, being into cars myself.”
