Queen/Nightmare Fuel
- The cover art for their News of the World album, drawn by Frank Kelly Freas, shows the band's lifeless bodies tumbling from the hand of a wide-eyed giant robot that does not seem to understand why its new playthings have stopped moving.
- Played with on Family Guy, where Stewie is terrified of the cover.
- "I'm Going Slightly Mad" (from Innuendo) dances very close to the line between cheeky and sinister. The video features the band doing increasingly bizarre and disturbing things, the eeriness amplified by the mostly black and white photography. It doesn't help the song's reputation that Freddie Mercury's friend Peter Straker says the song is semi-autobiographical, with the lyrics describing Mercury's moments of dementia in his later-stage illness (AIDS).
