“Khashoggi’s Ship” crashes into view with a swagger that feels both theatrical and mischievous, picking up the momentum from “Party” and driving it into something sharper and more dramatic. Built around a pounding rhythm and a riff that struts rather than sprints, the song paints a vivid picture of high‑stakes luxury and the kind of decadent escapism Queen loved to satirise. Freddie Mercury’s vocals ride the groove with a sly confidence, while the band lean into a sound that blends rock muscle with a cinematic sense of scale. As the second track on “The Miracle”, it deepens the album’s opening burst of energy, shifting from playful chaos into something more pointed and stylish.
The track grew out of the same free‑flowing sessions that produced “Party”, with the two songs ultimately stitched together so seamlessly that many listeners initially assumed they were conceived as a single piece. The idea of centring a song around the infamous arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi gave Queen a chance to indulge their taste for larger‑than‑life characters, turning real‑world extravagance into a tongue‑in‑cheek rock vignette. The band were experimenting heavily with atmosphere during this period, layering guitars, synths, and vocal textures to create a sense of opulence teetering on the edge of absurdity. That blend of humour, drama, and musical heft makes “Khashoggi’s Ship” one of the album’s most distinctive early moments, capturing Queen’s ability to turn a passing idea into something bold, memorable, and unmistakably theirs.
