Yes, he’s succeeded in making up “Cuckoo”!
March Madness
3.10.15 by Q3
I’m so bored that I was rumbling through some old Queen stuff I collected and I found the original lyrics to “I’m Going Slightly Mad.” They seemed perfect for today’s March Madness kickoff.
The instrumental portion is the same ... for your reference.

Here is the version that Queen recorded in case you are not familiar with the final song.
youtu.be/rNBWf54RvsI
We’re Going Slightly Mad
When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
Don’t know how many days to wait for it
For him to dance in front of you - oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something?
You're dying for that one new song
You're simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you’ve waited way too long
We’re going slightly mad
We’re going slightly mad
It finally happened - happened
It finally happened - ooh oh
It finally happened – We’re slightly mad
Oh dear!
We’re one song short in the player
We’re so bored with the rest
One verse short of a playlist
We’re not at our sing-alone best
We’re tired of hearing Fever
We’re really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think we’re banana trees
Oh dear, we’re going slightly mad
We’re going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened uh huh
It finally happened we’re slightly mad - oh dear!
We’re staring at the calendar
Staring at March makes us blue
We’re distracted and bored waiting more days
Yes dear I know about you
We’re going slightly mad
We’re going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened oh yes
It finally happened
We’re slightly mad!
Just very slightly mad!
Please can we have it!

March is the month for madness. In the US that usually means that we go crazy for NCAA Basketball – it is the month for BRACKETS!!
So it’s time for the final match-up to the Absolute Best Adam Lambert Live Performance EVER!!
There are 32 slots in the brackets – all but three are filled. Voting will start shortly as soon as we fill in these blanks:
22. Best “Save Me”
27. Best 2015 Q+AL Performance (Excludes WWTLF and Save Me)
28. Wildcard Anything not already in a bracket. Can even be a song that lost in the previous voting.
So today is your big opportunity to nominate the song(s) to fill these slot. Post your picks along with a reason why this performance should get the slot. I will unilaterally, and totally capriciously pick the winners.
DON’T DELAY: VOTING ON THE BRACKETS WILL COMMENCE TOMORROW MARCH 11, 2015.
