The single
is largely known for its video clip for which all the group members dressed in
women's clothes, a concept proposed by Roger Taylor, which parodied the
long-running ITV soap opera
Coronation Street released in 1984. The 2-nd part
of the video included a composition rehearsed and performed with the Royal
Ballet and choreographed by Wayne Eagling. Whereas the parody was acclaimed in
the United Kingdom, it was considered controversial in the United States and
banned by MTV and other stations. The music of the song was well received all
over Europe and South America, where it was listed within top 10 and regarded
as an anthem of fight against oppression. The song toped only the 45th position
in the US charts, but reached 3-rd in the UK and was certified silver with
200,000+ copies sold.
