This was Freddie's tribute to Elvis. He wrote it whilst in the bathtub and took him 5 minutes to put together.

[@Kill_Em_Corleone]

No it was 10 minutes

[@valerieultramaga]

I was going to say the same thing.. Freddie was a big fan of Elvis💓💓💓💓

[@kellycrook543]

Queen can't be compared to anyone!!! They sang all genres.

[@michelletammydenney1417]

He’s a one of .Genius , most beautiful Soul, incredible❤

[@michelletammydenney1417]

Everything in Queen is off the charts . Best in the Universe hands down .

[@sarahlynnie2000]

Just a tip… Queen doesn’t usually block their videos. ☺️ Please do Somebody To Love live from Montreal!

[@SalvoG]

It’s the record labels that block, and I’ve heard the same thing about Pink Floyd yet all the videos from them got blocked. The record labels have an automated system that scans videos, it’s not reviewed by anyone it just gets scanned and blocked. Every label does it. Oh well 😣

[@26shedan]

@@SalvoG really, the record label must not either-take them from the Queen sight. The videos are everywhere and have never seen them blocked!

[@chicochi3]

@@26shedan Queen's record company is Hollywood records, which belongs to Disney. Not sure how Disney are about blocking videos. Queen's music catalog still belongs to the band. The band is pretty liberal about not blocking their music or pictures.

[@samlawrence4670]

Freddie’s stage presence is unmatched, you need to see somebody to love live at Montreal and their live aid set. Many other great live performances to choose from as well.

[@Lesa354]

Queen gives 100% in every live concert I’ve seen on KZbin. Somebody to love (live in Montreal), who wants to live forever (live at Wembley),Under Pressure (live in Budapest) just to name a few. Another rabbit hole to go down. Lol great reactions!!

[@katrinacash6393]

Queen was the first band to have all of its members inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame! Each member wrote hits and because their musical styles varied it's hard to place Queen into any one genre.

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

This band was able to entertain the audiences without dancers, backing vocalists, invited artists, because they had Freddie Mercury the greatest showman. 🥳 Welcome to the most diverse band's rabbit hole! They wrote their own stuff in cca. 15 different genres.

[@stevenwitt1812]

Queen all loved 50's rock and roll, especially Elvis and Little Richard. When I saw them in 1980 I was surprised that they opened the show with Jailhouse Rock! Incredible night, great fun!!

[@bjdonnavanlanen2925]

March of the black queen; one vision-live at Wembley; white queen live; under pressure -live; somebody to love at Montreal; Barcelona; a kind of magic-live and many more.

[@ursabobsage351]

The bass on this song is insane! All you need to know about Queen is that they are the greatest band ever, and Freddie is the greatest frontman ever. But, here are some additional tidbits: all four are college graduates, and Brian May, the guitarist, actually has a doctorate. And, all four have written number one songs and are in the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame. The band is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Try Save Me and Somebody to Love live in Montreal, Live Aid, It’s Late, Stone Cold Crazy. Freddie also did an album with opera diva Montserrat Caballe that is worth checking out, particularly Barcelona.

[@bethford6007]

Written shortly after Elvis' death it was Freddie's tribute to Elvis. My favorite moment in the video is when it looks like the two dudes look like they drop Freddie ! I wish there were a making of video (of that scene).

[@EchoesDaBear]

It took me showing my mom the liner notes for this song to prove to her that it was NOT a cover song! That it was an original by Freddie. She was certain that it was a 50's/60's track! That's how good of a job Queen did in paying homage to the 50's rockabilly vibe of Elvis and others. Just a great rock number! Can't help but groove along (especially with that bassline!! Thanks John Deacon!)

[@helenespaulding7562]

For a top song from Queen, done live spectacularly, watch Somebody to Love, live in Montreal

Great suggestions!

[@kendallneason3645]

Yay. Freddie had this incredible energy and beautiful voice that combined with the other members of Queen, all 4 wrote songs makes them unique!

[@GwenCossin]

Yay 🎸 👑 maybe react to Brian May's "White Queen" at hammersmith for a longer song with incredible instrumentals on display 🎵

[@katherinegupton2450]

I grew up listening to Queen watch videos on KZbin. The 2 things I wish I could experience live is a Queen concert and a MLK speech. I highly recommend the Montreal somebody to love, live aid, or really any concert performance by them.

[@pattym444]

Everyone that hears this song for the first time says it reminds them of Elvis. Some people swear it’s an Elvis song He wrote if in 10 minutes as a tribute to Elvis.

[@jodij6280]

We never knew what we were going to get with Queen (ballad, hard rock, etc.) but we always knew it was going to be awesome.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

Here is a nice side-story, since Freddie wrote this as a tribute to Elvis: Elvis’s daughter Lisa Marie came backstage at one of Queen’s concerts when they were playing in the U.S…. and gave Freddie one of her father’s scarves.🥰

[@ptxaholic]

I looooove this song. This is serious Elvis vibes you're right. I thought it was him the first time I heard this. I'm not a HUGE Queen fan but they were masters at what they did/still do

[@lindsaywright4329]

You really need to watch Somebody to Love live at Montreal, or at Milton Keynes. Queen were at their very best live. And of course their 20 minute Live Aid set, known to be the best ever rock concert. You are in for a real treat getting to know Queen's music!

[@astraboots]

Can't compare Queen with anyone else. Crazy Little Thing Called Love written by Freddie Mercury as a tribute to the great Elvis Presley Montreal 81 live HD Freddie Mercury singing his favourite song that he wrote somebody to love.

[@Gillie51-bl8su]

Freddie's tribute to Elvis. " Crazy Little Thing Called Love' took me five or ten minutes. I did that on the guitar, which I can't play for nuts, and in one way it was quite a good thing because I was restricted, knowing only a few chords. It's a good discipline because I simply had to write within a small framework. I couldn't work through too many chords and because of that restriction I wrote a good song, I think." - Freddie Mercury

[@AmyW-qo4se]

50 & 60's vibe. Good song! Groups & singers back then put all they had in their music and performances. They acted like they cared. It's not so much that way now. Muisc back then was fun, emotional & was a way to escape for a while. Why my favorite music is from the past. And is an expression, art!

[@debramoore7513]

Yes this is a tribute to Elvis Presley with a Grease vibe! Elvis died in 1977 .. Grease was released in 1978 .. Crazy Little Thing was released in 1979. Freddie admired Elvis tho his biggest idol was Jimi Hendrix. Freddie said “When Jimi died I was devastated.” I think the best live version is at Live Aid 1985 but do Queen’s full 20 min set, please! 🙏🏻

[@kendallneason3645]

Don’t forget to check out Queen: Don’t Stop Me Now, In The Lap Of The Gods, MyMelancholy Blues, Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy. Eclectic music!

[@jeffrobb6660]

How about "Death On Two Legs". Written in response to how they were treated by an early manager/record contract

[@stephendennis5911]

Listening to this classic song makes me realise how much I love queen

[@kimclark4862]

About a year ago I first watched you react to Pentatonix whom I had just discovered and fallen for. I now decide to come back to see what you are up to these days, only to find you with Freddie and Queen - my group since July 1975 , when a radio DJ went against company policy (BBC Radio One), and dared to play Bohemian Rhapsody on air. I was fifteen at that time and since then, Pentatonix are the only group ever to come close enough in talent to considered his equal. I love that you also love both of those legendary powerhouses. Hi, from Scotland.

[@stefanboskovic4724]

You won't find too many Queen songs that sound the same. So many styles and genre's performed so expertly

[@roccaclassico9028]

"Queen" is a very deep rabbit hole. A few lesser known "deep cuts" I recommend are "The Prophet's Song", " '39", and "Good Company" which were each written by Brian May (lead guitarist). "The Prophet's Song" is one of their most prog sounding songs, with very creative vocal effects & harmonies. " '39" is a sci-fi tale with a folk feel. In "Good Company" Brian May simulates a Dixieland band with his guitar (it's amazing!).

[@helenespaulding7562]

I love the way you are approaching your classic Rock journey. You are hitting the iconic bands; Zeppelin, Floyd, Rush, Black Sabbath, Yes, Heart, Queen, Fleetwood Mac. Excellent! I’m enjoying your journey!

[@sentinelmortgagecorp4291]

Most versatile band ever

[@JeffMartinEquinox]

This song encompassed exactly what Freddy wanted - tribute to Elvis - i also wondered at one point if this was an Elvis cover. Can't wait for you to do more Queen - they have such a range of different types of songs and were one of the biggest bands in the world. I often couldn't wait to go to the local pizza place as a kid and play "We will Rock you"/"We are the Champions" (one play on the jukebox). Later on their music was a great part of several movies - Flash Gordon (Flash - Ahhh!) , Highlander (Who Wants to live Forever), Revenge of the Nerds. I watched MTV playing Live Aid and saw them as part of that. Their Greatest Hits was probably the most played CD in my car when it came out.

[@trinasp]

You have to do my favorite Queen song "Don't Stop Me Now"! Also Bohemian Rhapsody. Just a friendly tip, when listening to Bohemian Rhapsody, don't cut off Brian's guitar solo. It is pure heaven! All the members of Queen wrote top songs for the group. All 4 members!

[@josephinemonahan915]

Great reaction...as Sarah said Queen don’t block their videos🤩

[@peaceofiona9198]

It' Late which is one of their longest songs and right after that My Melancholy Blues

[@bikeracer6045]

My fave Queen song! At near end of the song when the band says: "ready freddy?" that was my nickname for my mom. (Freddy) She would drive us to school in our 454 Bel Air, and everyday this song came on the radio. And since then I always said to my mom, "Ready Freddy".

[@harkodekker1846]

Why do people always go out of their way to try and compare songs/bands to other stuff? Can't we all just appreciate things for what they are?

[@SalvoG]

Of course we can, but how can we identify anything in life if we dont compare examples? It’s not a bad thing, it can elevate each thing(s). That’s the basic principle of yelp, compare things so we don’t use our time and energy on things that don’t deserve it. That’s how I’ve come to choose the bands/groups I’ve listened to, by selecting ones that compare GREATER to their counterparts😊

[@jeannebol10]

There Live Aid concert is .... there are no words.

[@karenj3611]

Love John Deacons bass on this song, absolutely makes this song

[@johnnymegabyte]

Queen and Rush. two of my fave bands. Equally talented, yet different. Queen music has no genre. It is what it is. Rock, Pop, Classical, Opera, Jazz, Disco. Even some elements of Prog. Anything from Montreal 1981 and Wembley 86. Live Aid (ranked the greatest live performance ever by any band)

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, there's was a 1950s rockabilly revival in England, paying tribute to Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly, etc. Queen captured that old-school rockabilly sound in this song. An American band called the Stray Cats crossed the pond to England during this time, where they first hit it big in 1980, with retro-sounding rockabilly songs like "Rock This Town" and "Stray Cat Strut." Then the Stray Cats' success crossed back over the pond to their native U.S. and to many other countries all over the world.

[@kendallneason3645]

In America too! In the 80’s the 50’s stuff was considered hot!

[@danettecrossley7912]

Queen is one of those rare bands who could do it live I believe this was a tribute to Elvis, everyone in this band was extremely talented and smart especially Brian May the guitar player he had some type of science doctorate great guitar player, and song writer I believe they all wrote music Rodger the drummer had a great voice and could have been front man can't remember the bass player name he wrote too, retired shortly after Freddie died queen was part of my generation and I loved them didn't like all there music but so much talent in one group had to respect them for that alone God bless

[@kendallneason3645]

Sir Dr. Brian May the guitarist also has a PHD and is an astrophysicist. John Deacon the bass player has a degree in electrical engineering and built the Deacy an amp he gave to Brian as he loved the way it made his guitar sound. Roger Taylor the drummer and falsetto back up singer has a biology degree. The late Freddie Mercury the lead singer, piano player had a degree in graphic arts. All four were educated, professional musicians and all wrote hit songs and are in the songwriting hall of fame as well as the rock’n’roll hall of fame for their music contributions all over the world.

[@kellycrook543]

Freddie's tribute to Elvis...wrote it in 10 minutes.

[@vernhoke7730]

This was great to see done live. Got to see it in Madison Square Garden in September 1980 during the Game tour.

[@pamelaburdick2583]

A Kind of Magic and Now I'm Here live in Montreal. Dragon Attack also live in Montreal

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

A live version of this found at "Live Aid" 1985 - Wembley - but you should do the whole part - 20 minutes.He plays the guitar himself - and Brian May plays 3 different guitars!! They are 4 gifted musicians with different tasts - that is why they are so versatile. They are all songwriters and have written #1 hits - are enrolled in Songwriters Hall of Fame. The band is voted the best band with The Beatles second. Freddie is considered the best rocksinger of all times. - you have 200 titles to look forward to. They were together for 20 years til Freddie died - Brian and Roger is still together - now in their seventies. And play sold out venues - stadiums etc. nice reaction.

[@angellucas-ranck9594]

Queen is their own genre & Freddie was the greatest frontman of all history!

[@uk130belfor2]

It was a nod to elvis, Freddie came up with the song in 10 mins whilst in the bath , genius

[@hkynuts11]

Best live performance ever, Queen, Somebody to Love. Live at Montreal

[@kellycrook543]

Queen performed this song live so many times. You should react to this song by Queen. Freddie wrote this is ode to Elvis.

[@mikefetterman6782]

The Rock-a-billy vibe made a comeback around 1980, with Brian Setzer and his Stray Cats making noise, The Cars, and many other bands doing 50s tributes to Elvis, Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochrane and others.

[@mikefetterman6782]

A popular TV show for a few years after Grease was SHANANA. A variety show hosted by a 50s, greaser, do wop, rockabilly, type group. As soon as New wave music solidified in 1980, this was a rebellion against DISCO.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

If you already haven't listened to these Queen songs, I recommend "Don't Stop Me Now" and the "We Will Rock You"/"We Are the Champions" medley (rock stations used to play these album tracks back to back in the old days), and "Another One Bites the Dust" and "You're My Best Friend." And of course, there's Queen's signature song "Bohemian Rhapsody." I suggest listening to the studio versions for a crisp and clear sound.

[@jodij6280]

Don't Stop Me Now is in my Top 5 Queen songs, along with Killer Queen.

[@normalasamsudin1891]

How about My Melancholy Blues or in the lap of the gods revisited, next.

[@davidbouchard3275]

It was a tribute to Elvis Presley. Freddy wrote the song while in the bath in 10min.

[@donnaholden2864]

Queen started music videos with bohemian rhapsody.

Check out Queen 20min. performance at Live Aid 1985, Wembley Stadium.

[@cheripetty1805]

JULY 13TH WILL BE THE 37TH ANNIVERSARY OF QUEEN'S LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE AT LIVE AID AT WEMBLEY STADIUM, AND IS WIDELY REGARDED AS THE GREATEST SINGLE PERFORMANCE AND MOMENT IN ROCK HISTORY! 27' IN LENGTH. MANY REACTORS HAVE SCREENED IT SUCCESSFULLY. I URGE YOU TO DO SO AS WELL! LIVE AID WAS A BENEFIT RELIEF CONCERT FOR THE FAMINE IN ETHIOPIA IN 1985. IT WAS THE FIRST SIMULTANEOUS WORLDWIDE BROADCAST OF A LIVE EVENT VIA SATELLITE HOOK-UP, AND WAS WATCHED BY 1 BILLION PEOPLE. IT WAS QUEEN THAT STOLE THE SHOW AND MADE IT A GRAND OCCASION FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

[@carolynschmidt5467]

John Deacon: beautiful bass player and utterly great dancer. 😊

[@michaelblaney4461]

These bands were all recorded when there was very few digital options all analog recorded on 48 track studio ( state of that at the time), no point and click recording , no autotune , no quantized parts all recorded throughout were real instruments and maybe 1st and 2nd generation synthesizers.

[@26shedan]

hope you go down this rabbit hole, like you did with Zep. My 2 favorite bands. Very similar in that all 4 members were needed to make the magic. The music also changes constantly. Many more interesting tidbits to follow.

[@kimcutts6153]

🇬🇧 Queen have a plethora of hits/songs for you to check out. The first Queen single I bought was "I Want To Break Free". I think the video for that got banned in the US, (I won't tell you why, in case you watch it in a reaction). On stage Freddie was outgoing, flamboyant, cheeky, but off stage he was very shy & soft spoken. He was very loved, and he is so missed. ❤🎼

[@dianecostanza]

Never try and compare Queen to anything or anyone else. They play all genres and always in their own way.

[@robinfra52]

Check out the song 39 from A Night at the Opera and The prophet's Song. I saw them do this live and Freddy played rhythm guitar on it. He used to joke "I play dumb guitar , it only knows 3 chords."

[@susanengland3919]

The blonde girl in the video was Roger Taylor's girlfriend at the time. (Roger is the drummer) Keep watching Queen, you'll be amazed at the variety and uniqueness of their music. Their performance at Live Aid 1985 is still considered to be one of, if not the best live concerts in Rock history. You probably know this by now, but Freddie Mercury is the lead singer, Brian May on guitar, John Deacon on bass and Roger Taylor on drums.

[@julianortiz4151]

For a deeper cut that is s fan favorite, you need to check out “Death on Two Legs.” Their whole catalog is pretty much well revered by their fans but, that’s one song I don’t see get a lot of requests.

[@robertfisher3241]

If you want to see an awesome stage presence watch Under Pressure by Queen

[@meganhannel5889]

If you want to learn more about Freddie Mercury, there's a 2018 film called Bohemian Rhapsody you might like.

[@sharonhalliday3180]

The movie is not a documentary and plays fast and loose with reality and facts.

[@SC-gp7kt]

For the ultimate stage presence/performance, try Jethro Tull.

[@deboraclark5791]

Freddie wrote it as a tribute to Elvis. Queen the all kinds of genres, very excellent and unique. The early Queen was progressive, hard rock, even metal, Metallica covered Queen's Stone Cold Crazy. Early Queen also did songs that were very intricate with a lot of layers of guitars and vocals. You have to hear it to understand

[@chicochi3]

This is a Queen original, but a lot of people think it's an Elvis song. Check out the bass line. The genre is rockabilly. All instruments are vintage.

[@Yngwulff]

DEEP PURPLE !!! Child in Time

[@SalvoG]

Coming soon

[@Yngwulff]

@@SalvoG Do the live version ...

[@k.wilkie3814]

This song came off one of the best Queen albums The Game. This song was more of a novelty song, as was the other big hit "Another One Bites the Dust". But the best song on the album is called "Play the Game" and it was a single but not popular like the other two. Freddy Mercury was great.

[@davidmalarkey1302]

Read that Freddie wrote the song in 10 minutes then a minute later asked if it was a cover and checked it

[@newfiemom8696]

You can compare it to Rockabilly!! Elvis sang Jailhouse Rock like this… but listen to …. 🎶The Stray Cats 🎶 from the 80’s saw them in Ventura in concert🐈‍⬛

[@michelletammydenney1417]

You have to do LIVE with Queen💕

[@rebeccalipps8007]

Certainly a Rockabilly groove here. If you like it, I suggest The Stray Cats. They really give that vibe with a glossy 50s look.

[@marianclough8577]

Waaaaayyyy before the movie Grease.

[@DianeLake-sw3ym]

The reason you find the singers and bands of the 70s and 80s and 90s so much more entertaining is because they were. You have to understand what has been done to music by the record companies, producers and AI. They have virtually wiped out bands because a single artist is easier to control. They go with an artist who really has little talent but, looks good. They can cover up his lack of talent with auto tune and computerized instruments rather then real playing. It has become all fake and when they go on the live shows they really lack personality because they are so controlled and have to keep the cover of their lack of real talent. Also any real creativity and ability is ground out. It is known that they use the same 4 chords on songs and just put them in different order and add words to it. Which is why so many songs sound the same today. The artist does not really write anything now. Some is due to money but, the reason they are losing money is because they are not putting out any real talent and ideas. It's all rehashed so teens and young adults are not listening or buying. But, the corporate idiots that be cannot figure this out. Some is also due to laziness. They don't want to bother with developing real talent and groups, they don't want to hassle with people who are creative and opinionated. Or with rehersals like when people do real playing on real instruments and real singing. So you get zombie acts. There is good music and live performers in Alternative music. But, alternative does not get alot of play and is a best kept secret from the public. So the next Freddie Mercury or Robert Plant is never seen or discovered.

5:16 Don't bother, my guy. You can't think of anything to compare it to because there isn't anything. Queen is an utterly unique band. Trying to find a comparable sound or fit the band into a specific genre will only frustrate you. I'm a few months late to your reactions so you have probably figured that out by now. I guess I'll find out as I watch more reactions. I'm sure you already know this as well, but you are on a journey down a deep, deep rabbit hoe...and it's going to be great! Subbed.

If you want a longer song, but also admired, despite not being released as a single, you should listen to The Prophet's Song. Composed by the Queen guitarist for the album A Night at the Opera (1975), the same one that contains Bohemian Rhapsody, the song is a true work of art. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqvHm4CCgLCXnc0)
