Five days after their appearance at the Milton Keynes Bowl, the band stopped by the Top Of The Pops studio for the first time in five years to face the cameras once again. For some reason, they had decided against filming a promotional video for their latest single, Las Palabras De Amor (The Words Of Love), but with the single about to be released and their UK tour over, promotion was necessary. The band were ushered into the TOTP studio, though they weren't filmed in front of an audience; instead, their piece was taped prior to the show beginning, and they mimed along to the standard backing track, instead of rerecording (or even remixing) a new version.

In general, the band seem less than pleased to be performing the song, and even though it's mimed, the energy level drags considerably: Freddie, donning a dinner tuxedo and sneakers (!), remains static for most of the performance, showing very little emotion until the very end. The other band members, too, hardly interact with each other, and act like they would rather be anywhere else (considering they had just wound up a lengthy European and UK tour only days prior, this is probably not too far off). Perversely, the single would be the one from Hot Space that was the most successful, reaching #17 in the UK, though it would be the one that was neglected the most: not only did it not receive a proper promotional video, it was never featured in the live setting during Freddie's lifetime, though it was performed at his tribute concert in April 1992.
