about this song
"Sleeping On The Sidewalk", written and sung by Brian May, was inspired by Eric Clapton. Lyrically, it deals with an aspiring trumpet player's career, delivered in a "rags-to-riches" fashion and recorded in one take. May sings with an American accent, providing some near-authentic blues credibility to the jam, and measures the aforementioned trumpet player's success by "bucks" (as opposed to pounds). On a close inspection, John Deacon can be heard playing the wrong notes in some bass parts
