25 Yr Old Reacts To Queen - Under Pressure (Official Video)

[@stabitha2289]

Your facial expression to the first 15 seconds had me rolling on the ground. Can't believe he tried to deny it. But Under Pressure is one of the best songs ever. Glad you listened to it.

[@jtjones73]

Right there laughing on the floor too. I knew what was coming.

[@Desertflower725]

His facial expressions the whole time. Great reactor just from that

[@RLG-]

I started laughing when he said he’d let us know if he saw a resemblance. Bless his heart. ❤️

[@missyvonne589]

Vanilla Ice was JOKING in that interview; of course it was their sample. He was 19 and didn't know how HUGE his song wouldbe .

[@megatron4136]

Queen is the original

[@anthonydarby3973]

Queen,are NOT the original,,,Bowie and Queen are the originals

[@ellet6560]

A sad coincidence that today, 11/24/1991 marks 33 years since Queen lead singer, Freddie Mercury, passed. RIP, Mr. Fahrenheit. After the legal dust settled, “Ice Ice Baby” credits seven songwriters, lol. By all accounts, Queen bassist, John Deacon, is credited for the baseline. Do you know Young Pappy’s(RIP) song “Killa”? He sampled the Queen song, “Killer Queen”. For an “in your face” introduction to Queen commit yourself to their 20 minute set at Live Aid in 1985. You will not regret it! Cheers!

[@adamsgrad93]

Queen is well deserving of a deeper dive. There are several songs by Queen you know, you just don't know it yet. Listen to We Will Rock You, Another One Bites The Dust, and We Are The Champions. All stadium staples for nearly every sport ever. Queen has so many songs and they're all so different and amazing. Once you get into them, check out Radio Gaga (where Lady Gaga took her name), Fat Bottom Girls, Don't Stop Me Now, Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody to Love, Killer Queen.... The rabbit hole for them is deep and worth every step.

Not sure he's ready 😅

[@mainakchakraborty7564]

​@@craigalaneleazer4473 that's the best part you said man... Today's music enthusiasts aren't really ready to listen and appreciate the masterpiece for its true value. That song is and will remain as timeless. It's just amazing how they covered almost every genre of music in a single song with such beautiful lyrics. Freddie's vocal range and skill along with Rojer Taylor hitting high notes like opera singers, Dr. May's guitar ❤ and the most underrated bassist John Deacon... All were the masters of the art and Queen is the best band ever specially in terms of their quality of songs and music❤

[@jo_jolambrini6775]

John Deacon (bassist of Queen) came up with this famous riff. Freddie Mercury was having breakfast one morning at home and then this came on the radio, at first he thought it was their song "Under Pressure" until VI broke out with the IIB. Their Manager had already been aware of it and had filed the Court papers in an instant. Queen + Bowie went to Court and VI knowing what he later confessed (that it was the same riff) settled out of Court with him coughing up millions. Obviously in later years he fessed up and said it was exactly the same. Queen + Bowie therefore went down as the Songwriters for Ice, Ice Baby even though they detested it !!!! You need to do more Queen, you'll be blown away, their catalogue is huge and it will almost definitely boost your platform as the Queen fan base is outrageous. RIP Freddie Mercury you were and still are a LEGEND. Stay safe from Manchester UK

[@marianclough8577]

Every second bar is an exact match, the others in between had an extra note at the start, the idiot even included the iconic hand claps and finger clicks. He was iced by Freddie! :)

[@JosephHuntelvisnspiders]

The story goes on one of their doc's, they took lunch and when they returned John had forgotten the rift, and nothing had gone to tape yet. Roger remembered it and hummed it to him.

[@GilesMcRiker]

No legal proceedings were ever commenced. The parties' lawyers just exchanged letters, and the matter was eventually settled by Giving Queen and Bowie formal songwriting credits, thus entitling them to, among other things, royalty payments

"I don't know if I'm watching a scary movie or a music video" That was a clip from the 1921 silent film Nosferatu. It was an illegal version of Dracula. The widow of Bram Stoker sued and was successful. All copies were to be destroyed but thanks to a few forward thinking film fans a few prints were saved so we can still watch this amazing film today. Also a new version is coming out soon. It has Bill Skarsgard (Pennywise from It) as Count Orlock the Dracula stand in.

So glad you found this! Written and recorded in one night! You've got some serious rabbit holes ahead if you want to discover Queen or Bowie. Bowie and Queen produced. Set aside 10 minutes for Queen's 1975 "Bohemian Rhapsody" and 40 minutes or so to dive deep into Bowie's 1972 "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars"

Queen's bass player, John Deacon aka "Deaky" came up with the riff. Bowie and Queen then went out to eat. When they came back to work some more in the song, Deaky couldn't remember the riff, but Roger did. This was way before Vanilla Ice. And if you get more familiar with Queen you will understand that they had so much talent they never had to steal from anybody.

[@FelixNemo]

John Deacon the bass player of Queen came up with the riff. The band and David Bowie went to lunch - pizza and alcohol - afterwards John couldn’t remember any of it. Panic until Roger Taylor (drummer) recalled it. John Deacon also wrote Another One Bites The Dust (live @Montreal 1981 super fun) and Cool Cat. Under Pressure is a lovely duet between David Bowie (baritone) and Freddie Mercury (falsetto etc). Freddie blends his voice seamlessly. He can also sing David’s part. They never performed it live together but Freddie’s version live @ Wembley is fabulous.

I can tell you that the music was good.

If you go on the queen and/or Bowie rabbit hole it's a good fun journey to take. Both sets of artists (queen is a band) have great production behind them and lyrics and music. There's a wealth of music from the 60s/70s/80s/90s that I fear the younger generation just don't know about. For me Jazz/classical and some folk music is the good stuff from before the 60s.

The scary movie part - It is from the 1922 Silent Era Film - Nosferatu. It was made in Germany. Based on the work of Bram Stoker who wrote Dracula. The film was actually banned because of it being made without permission from the estate of Bram Stoker. All copies of the film were ordered by a judge to be destroyed. However, it lives on because of the few who were brave enough to defy orders and smuggle the films out of Germany and in many cases, out of Europe as well. They are actually making a new Nosferatu film. I don't know if it will be like the original or if it will be about the controversy that caused it to be banned. Either way, it is one of the first films in awhile that I am very curious about seeing.
