From the 1978 Queen album Jazz. Written by John Deacon but with all guitars played by Brian May. 

All the early Queen albums had hidden gems on them that were never released as singles. This is one of those songs that had all the elements of a hit and was a firm fan favourite but never released as a single and rarely played live. Personally I doubt it would have been a hit much like Spread Your Wings and Tie Your Mother Down. 

With a guitar solo of over two minutes this would be Brian Mays longest solo.
