Outstanding, the new freddy mercury maybe —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.158.18.58 ( talk • contribs).
I think he talks about Freddy in the song —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.2.16.236 ( talk • contribs).
This page makes no sense (for the part about the confusion over the album/single. For a start, it's in the wrong place. The wording is appalling, so I can't make head or tail of what it's trying to say, and the album name is wrong!
I'd change it, but I can't work out what they're saying, and last time I deleted nonsense, I was warned(!) about my future conduct!
Don't quite know how wikipedia works but I added a link to Mika's myspace page, since it has the song available for download. --

Certain lines in the song are spoken by a woman; these lines: "The last time we talked, Mr. Smith, you reduced me to tears. I promise you that won't happen again!" "Getting angry doesn't solve anything." "Humphrey...we're leaving" What are they from? -- Dandelions 00:52, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
To catch a thief?
I'm not sure this statement makes sense - can someone say on which piece from Marriage of Figaro the melody is based? It can't be based on the whole opera. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Boxersoft ( talk • contribs) 11:15, 17 March 2007 (UTC). He said it during an interview on the french TV show Taratata. You can watch it on youtube, it's the second part of the video...
Although Mika said that the melody is based on The Marriage of Figaro, opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, it is actually based on Rossini's Largo al factotum from The Barber of Seville. [1]
This is surely POV. I can't see how anyone can say that this is based upon anything in particular. Do we have a quote from Mika to support this supposition? Bear in mind that he was trained at the RCM and would probably have heard a considerable amount of opera, both Mozart and Rossini.

This song is being used by La Sexta during commercial breaks. I don't know if that's of any interest. They used it also to advertise the "TP awards" broadcasted in that channel.-- Nauki 13:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
It is not logical to put the French physical chart while Relax take it easy was a download only song and it ruled the charts and the airplay... Same goes to Grace Kelly, only limited physical release, massive downloads (peaked at N°2 on the download charts).
how does he sing it? sounds like 'na na na na'. but its not.
O_o Search Google for the lyrics...
It was also partly sung by some of the female Eastenders cast during a party. I remember that they didn't know the words to the verse - they only knew the words to the chorus. It was actually very funny and i personally believe that it made reference to the fact that most of the general public don't know the verse. I am not sure if this could be added as i am unsure what episode it was in. 88.111.182.213 11:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
On the Graham Norton show Mika said that he has been banned from Monaco for this song. Worth noting, i think. 99.147.192.224 ( talk) 18:29, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
WHO IS HOLLY MULLER?
SHE is mentioned in this article but who is this person?
