'We Will, We Will Rock You'...The Song, The Musical.. The Everything, QUEEN

by J.A.Rose-Bartlett cc

Hi...'Good Morning'....Well, this morning we're 'working up' mostly jazz tunes online with YOUTUBE, and, I know this it's not jazz, but I saw a video from QUEEN and HERE, they were doing the song...'We Will Rock You'. Ive always liked that tune....so,thought I'd find out more about it. O.K? Did you know it was a song written for the group Queen by BRIAN MAY/guitar/vocals and  HEREi n 1977. It's been covered by just everyone...well, lots of folks anyway. AND, it's been made into a musical with a book by BEN ELDON, it was put into the GRAMMY HALL OF FAME in 2009, ROLLING STONE put it at 330 in their 500 Greatest Songs All Time,...well I guess,...just prooves that everyone loves this song. It's received lotsa awards...WOW,..check out WIKIPEDIA and HERE for more.
'We Will Rock You' has a famous partner song....It's 'We Are The Champions' and it is often played with it, and was also written by Brian May in 1977.
This is what May said about the song 'We Will Rock You' during a gig on their British tour in 1977.... " 'We did an encore and then went off, and instead of just keeping clapping, they sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" to us, and we were just completely knocked out and taken aback – it was quite an emotional experience really, and I think these chant things are in some way connected with that."   So, now we know that's how it all started...and, I'm sure glad it did...thanks, Brian May and Queen. Jan
