<p>The song "Tie Your Mother Down" by Queen is a rock anthem known for its powerful guitar riff and lyrics about overcoming obstacles to being with someone. The song's lyrics, written by Brian May, depict a scenario where the narrator's romantic desires are hindered by the girl's family, leading to the seemingly absurd suggestion of tying her mother down. The song's energy and catchy tune make it a popular concert staple.</p><p><br></p><p><img src="https://cloud.radiofreccia.it/radiofreccia/News/Article/1000xH/queen-il-vero-significato-di-tie-your-mother-down-wide-site-gyynp.jpg" alt="Queen, il vero significato di Tie Your Mother Down - Radiofreccia"></p><p><br></p><p>Queen commonly used explosions for effect during live and video performances of this song. During the video shoot, Roger Taylor was blown off his stool and off the stage due to an explosion placed in a bucket on his riser. While watching certain versions of the video you can see the part cut out, where Freddie turns around to face the back of the stage almost immediately. The recording had to be stopped for a moment because Roger was on the floor. Luckily, he was fine, though Brian May states clearly in video commentary, "Nearly killed Roger, it has to be said!"</p><p><br></p><p><img src="https://i.makeagif.com/media/9-02-2017/J5X_9I.gif" alt="Queen - Tie Your Mother Down (Official Video) on Make a GIF"></p><p><br></p><p>I'll tell you the truth, I know what happened. Sometimes you get a little riff, and you just put some words with it, and then you don't even think about what they mean. Now I'm thinking, now this isn't a good enough title for this song, but everyone said: 'Well actually, it sounds okay,' and so we kind of lyrically built it around that. That's the truth, folks.</p><p>— Brian May</p>
