== Lyrics and structure ==
The song, in a style similar to Weird Al Yankovic parodies, utilizes the original music of the song, while simply adding in new lyrics. The lyrics basically deal with a fraternity party which is getting out of hand, and how the protagonist (A young man who appears to be named 'Brody') deals with it. The song is devided into five distinct parts:

=== Introduction (0:00-0:48) ===
The song begins with a close four-part harmony a cappella introduction in B-flat, which consists entirely of multi track recordings of the namless frat boys (even though the video has all four members lip-syncing this part). The lyrics question whether life is "real" or "just fantasy" before concluding that the party which they are in is "The sickest party". After 15 seconds, the grand piano enters, and Brody's solo voice alternates with the other vocal parts. The narrator introduces himself as "just a frat boy taking virginities" but declares that he "need[s] nothing else" because no sexual act any girl performs on him matters: chromatic side-slipping on "easy come, easy go, gettin' high, with my bro's" highlights the party atmosphere. The end of this section is marked by the bass entrance and the familiar cross-handed piano vamp in B-flat.

=== Ballad (0:48-2:36) ===
The grand piano continues the 2-bar vamp in B-flat. Deacon's bass guitar enters playing the first note, and the vocals change from harmony to an impassioned solo performance by Brody. The narrator explains to the audience the happenings of the party. He mentions that a young man named "Holland" had "just killed a keg," and brags about his seen greatness to a character named "Duncan", while telling a friend to start up the beer bong. The chromatic bass line brings about a modulation to E-flat. Here drums enter (1:19), and the narrator makes the second of several invocations to the audience in the new key, reusing the original theme. The narrator then asks a friend to wake him up tommorrow morning, as he cannot miss an important class. He then explains his need to use the bathroom, and then his grief at the long line which has formed in his house, and his angered need to "Piss outside". A truncated phrase connects to a repeat of the vamp in B-flat. As the ballad proceeds into its second verse, the narrator shows how tired and beat down he is by his actions, and his anger at being unable to use the bathroom, as well as the appearence of a cop car. Another chromatic bass descent brings a modulation to the key of A, and the "Opera" section.

=== Guitar solo (2:36-3:02) ===
As Brody sings the rising line "I sometimes wish I'd never had bro's at all," the band builds in intensity, leading up to a guitar solo that serves as the bridge from ballad to opera. the solo continues to build intensity, but once the bass line completes its descent establishing the new key, the entire band cuts out abruptly at 3:02 except for quiet A Major quaver chords on the piano: the "opera" has begun. In live performances, the stage would go dark and all the members of the band would walk offstage and allow the entire opera section to play from the recording, as it was impossible for them to perform it live, due to the extensive overdubbing.

=== Opera (3:02-4:07) ===
A rapid series of rhythmic and harmonic changes (E-flat major to F minor to A major, among others) introduces a pseudo-operatic midsection, which contains the bulk of the elaborate vocal multi-tracking, depicting the narrator's "descent into hell". While the underlying pulse of the song is maintained, the dynamics vary greatly from bar to bar, from only Brody's voice accompanied by a piano, to a multi-voice choir supported by drums, bass, piano and a timpani.

The band used the bell effect for lyrics "Magnifico" and "Let me go". Also, on "Let him go", Taylor singing the top section carries his note on further after the rest of the "choir" have stopped singing. Lyrical references in this passage include Scaramouche, the fandango, Galileo, Figaro and "Bismillah," as rival factions fight over the narrator's soul. The introduction is recalled with the chromatic inflection on "I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me." The section concludes with a full choral treatment of the lyric "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me!", on a block B-flat major chord. Roger Taylor's last sung note is a falsetto B-flat in the sixth octave, a note in the soprano range.

=== Heavy metal (4:07-4:55) ===
The operatic section leads into an aggressive heavy metal musical interlude with a guitar riff, just when the campus police break into the house. During group sing alongs At 4:14, a double-tracked Brod'y sings angry lyrics addressed to his fraternity brother, accusing him/her of betrayal and abuse and insisting "can't do this to me, logan" - which was a reference to logan blaming the beer on Brody when asked by the police, about who supplied it.

=== Outro (4:55-5:55) ===
After ascending octaves of notes from the B flat mixolydian scale are played, the song then returns to the tempo and form of the introduction. A guitar accompanies the chorus "ooh, ooh yeah, ooh yeah". A double-tracked twin guitar melody is played through an amplifier Brody's line "Nothing really matters..." appears. The final line, "To Brody...," is followed by the quiet sound of a gong that finally expels the tension built up throughout the song.
