Thanks!  ---Justin in Poughkeepsie, NY (“Puh-kip-see”)\n--\nQueen bassist John Deacon played an electric piano on this track. Deacon wanted to write a song incorporating the instrument, but Freddie Mercury, the group's keyboard man, did not want to play it. \"I refused to play that damn thing,\" Mercury said. \"It's tiny and horrible and I don't like them. Why play those when you have a lovely superb piano.\"\n\nSo Deacon took the electric piano home, learned to play it, and started writing this song.",
