This song was written by the band's drummer, Roger Taylor. Rumor has it that the beat came to him immediately while reading the book The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells. Taylor said that he wrote part of the song in the bathtub.
"The Invisible Man" was the original planned title for the album that would be called The Miracle, but three weeks prior to the album's release, they changed the name.
Hidden within the song are the names of each of the band members: Freddie Mercury at the beginning of the first verse (often confused with "Freddy Kreuger"!), John Deacon after the first verse, Brian May, said twice before his solo, and Roger Taylor after the words "Look at me, look at me," which Taylor answers with a quick drum beat.
