Don't Stop Me Now was de 2de en tevens laatste single van het album Jazz. In de strenge winter van 1979 kwam de single tot nummer 14 met in totaal 7 weken Top 40. In Engeland deed de single het beter met een 9de plaats maar in de Verenigde Staten liep men helemaal niet warm voor Don't Stop Me Now. 77 was daar de hoogste positie. De single die zou volgen zou het stukken beter doen.

Trivia

Wist je dat? De verkopen van het album Jazz waren niet zo best. Ondanks dat Bicycle Race een dikke hit was geworden en Don't Stop Me Now ook nog de top 20 haalde stond Jazz slechts 19 weken in de albumlijst met een 4de plaats als hoogste positie. Er kwamen dan ook maar 2 singles van uit in Nederland. Don't Stop Me Now is geschreven door Mercury en het gaat over iemand die met volle teugen geniet van het leven en bereid is om helemaal los te gaan. Iets wat Mercury ook zeker deed al werd dat zo nu en dan iets te gevaarlijk. In 2005 werd de single door de kijkers van het autoprogramma Top Gear verkozen tot "The greatest driving song ever".

Songtekst

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world turning inside out Yeah!
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me

I'm burning through the sky Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm havin' a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm havin' a good time)
I don't want to stop at all

I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode

I'm burning through the sky Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you

Don't stop me don't stop me
Don't stop me hey hey hey!
Don't stop me don't stop me ooh ooh ooh (I like it)
Don't stop me don't stop me
Have a good time good time
Don't stop me don't stop me Ah

I'm burning through the sky Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm havin' a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm havin' a good time)
I don't want to stop at all
