We say "let them eat cake," but the expression in French is "Qu'ils mangent des brioches," or "let them eat brioche." The point is not that she was meant to have said they should eat burnt leftovers; rather, it points to her naivete - if there's no bread, why don't they have cake (or brioche) instead? Killer Queen by Katy Perry is an indulgent concoction designed to empower the modern woman. Launched in 2013, it makes a bold statement with its distinctive sweet and fruity profile, making it a favourite among its primary audience—women of all ages looking for a perfume that defies traditional classifications. Sydney from Cincinnati, OhSky Five, what song are you listening to? If your talking about Marie Antoinette; for one, she was the queen of France. Second did you not read at the top where Freddie Mercury himself said that it was about a classy whore?

Hunter from Philadelphia, PaI almost fell over laughing after reading how Katy Perry wanted to become like the woman in this song. Yeah, she did pretty good at taking on the whore image. But that aside, this is an awesome song. I actually just listened to it for the first time :) Brandon Gallagher from Marysville, Sdi would like to point out that mary antoinette did have like 3 husbands and they all died before her. Robert from St. Louis, MoSorry folks, but Marie Antoinette NEVER said "Let them eat cake." That infamous line was actually uttered nearly 80 years before by Marie Thérèse of Spain, the Queen Consort of Louis the XIV.

Ingredients

Sky Five from Chattanooga, TnThis song is actually written about the Queen of England. Look at the passages, look at the title. Melissa from Adelaide, AustraliaAfter a long and hard thesis on the French Revolution and the European Royalty that led to it's demise i can accurately say that it was a Spanish Consort who uttered the "let them eat cake" (in the english translation) Alicia from Tamaqua, PaI loved the video for this song! Freddie was such a pretty boy in this one.... him in his cute fur coat and tight white satin pants. Another one of my favorites..... but then again all Queen music is my favorite... Its just something I can't live without!!!! Jeanette from Irvine, Cathis song is sooooo great! it is the best queen song except for can't stop me now and play the game! i cant understand half the words though. the guitar in it is awesome! Liz from Someplace, Ctnew info about the whole "let them eat cake" thing - montsequie (i can't spell) - a french writer person, credited the quote to a young princess, whom he was kind enough toward her to not mention her name. I got this from a history teacher, so it is very relyable.

Milly from Swansea, United KingdomIf you mix Gunpower and Gelatine and then set it on fire.. BOOM! You've made a simple form of Dynamite. Freddie was an uncommon fan of international chess tournaments following the action from China, Turkey, and the middle east, Mercury lionized the Russian Masters unbeatable offense against all comers from all over the world . The song lyric metaphorically refers to events within particular tournaments and matches within Spassky's career.

Gywn from Niskayuna, Nymarie Antoinette said let them eat cake because the peasents were to poor to afford bread, but because she was queen so she thougt that there was no breaad.Freddie from Orlando, Flwell... for the record.... hereswhat the guy who WROTE it says... "It's about a high class girl. I'm trying to say that classy people can be whores aswell. Thats what the song is about, though I'd prefer people to put their own interperetation on it- to read what they like into it." Matt from Saugus, MaActually, the "Let them eat cake!" line WAS said by Antoinette...but she was referring to a kind of cake eaten in the royal French court, so she may have been showing pity which was later misconstrued. Yes you are right! Queen is the only one who can do this song! In fact, no one can do Queen songs better than Queen....to think that the band was considering replacing Freddie!!!! That is impossible. There is no one who could ever replace him. He is a legend! Tina from Monterey, Cai LOVE cake!!!!! this song is pretty awesome, didn't quite understand it till now though, George from Vancouver, CanadaIt was Maria Antoinette that said it, but this is a mistranslation; Certain impoverished people would come to the castle for a daily bread allowance; or it was her servants receiving part of their pay in food. The head of the larder said, "We're out of regular flour breads" & Maria said to go ahead & use the better/sweet flour. . . So it was actually a statement/act of generosity ("noblesse oblige"); likely the revolution was started, as most, by malcontents, who changed their minds about what they deemed fair pay/treatment, &, when they won, they didn't want to seem like greedy aarseholes, so they allowed the "let them eat cake" story(which was invented by an English history philosopher).

I have since then been an avid fan and collector of the band. Brian May is by far the greatest guitarist of all time. Freddie from Orlando, Flsigh... nobody listens to the DIRECT quote adressing its meaning stated by the writer... whatev.... Maor from Sederot, Israelas i know, Antoinette was so ignoret she didnt knew regular people cant afford cakes.

AUTHORITY PRESCRIPTION

Howard from St. Louis Park, MnThis well written ditty put Queen on the map. It's probably the only Top 40 hit to mention Nikita Khruschev and John F. Kennedy in the same verse. Let's not forget Marie Antoinette. As the initial fruity sweetness mellows, it subtly transitions into a floral heart. The serene scent of frangipani majestically takes the stage, radiating a tropical, exotic aroma. A whisper of jasmine sambac graces the concoction, adding a touch of romantic seduction with its slightly sweet and subtly earthy aroma. Houston from New York, NySeems to me the song is about a male homosexual (drag queen) if anything... kind of like Morrison's Madame George. As for the Marie Antoinette thing, who really cares, it's a cool line and probably in the mouth of the character a light-hearted sophisticated joke referencing the expensive champagne. Elysia from Hamilton, New ZealandAwesome, poetic lyrics. And a sexy sound, my favourite Queen song =)
