This week Jim Adams has prompted us with Boogie/Rock/Rolling Stone for Song Lyric Sunday. Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with! I have a feeling a lot of old favorites will be shared.
Here is my pick from my favorite band from the 70s – We Will Rock You by Queen. I love this song, almost as much as We Are The Champions, especially at a football game!
It was written by Queen guitarist Brian May and was recorded in 1977. This video shows Freddie Mercury as the wild and gifted entertainer that he was. RIP.
Lyrics
We Will Rock You
Queen
Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise
Playing in the street, gonna be a big man someday
You got mud on your face, you big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place, singin'β
We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
Buddy, you're a young man, hard man
Shouting in the street, gonna take on the world someday
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place
We will, we will rock you, sing it!
We will, we will rock you, yeah
Buddy, you're an old man, poor man
Pleading with your eyes, gonna get you some peace someday
You got mud on your face, big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place, do it!
We will, we will rock you, yeah, yeah, come on
We will, we will rock you, alright, louder!
We will, we will rock you, one more time
We will, we will rock you
Yeah
Songwriters: Brian Harold May

Is it wrong I still play this (and ‘Another One Bites the Dust’) on a regular basis…and really loud? πππ Excellent choice!
I turn up the volume too Felicia! I imagine I’m at the stadium and my team is winning π
IKR? YESSS! ππ
Probably still my favorite band… Bohemian Rhapsody is my all-time favorite!
Yes Kevin! There was nothing ever like it π
great pick! Those are also two of my favs π
ππ
I’ve always loved them too! β€οΈ
I adore Queen. Icons of a generation. Wonderful choice, Christine.
A classic! Have to admit that I wasn’t a big Queen fan, but seeing Bohemian Rhapsody really changed my view. I loved it when this tune was performed at the start of this year’s Academy Awards show!
Oh great! Iβm so happy you liked it π Thanks!
Freddie Mercury could really control an audience and get them singing. Awesome pick Christine.
Thanks Jim π
They used this in A Knight’s Tale. Great track.
Thanks Di π
