"I'm Going Slightly Mad" is a song by the British rock band Queen. Written by Freddie Mercury, it was released as the second single from the band's 1991 album Innuendo. The lyrics and the accompanying music video project the song as quirky, humorous and light-hearted. The song also features a slide guitar solo performed by Brian May. John Deacon's bass is tuned down to a low B.
The single cover was inspired by a Grandville illustration (as are the others from the album).
