Flick of the Wrist Queen From "Sheer Heart Attack" "Flick of the Wrist" is in the middle of a medley following "Tenement Funster" and preceding "Lily of the Valley." The tempo changes between Cut Time (2/2) in the verses and Common Time (4/4) in the choruses. The measures below are for counting a slow 4 (76 bpm) in verses and a rapid 4 (152 bpm) in choruses. In reality, it's all 152 bpm, but I find it easier to switch back and forth if I count it all in 4/4.
