Queen's: We Will Rock You

"We Will Rock You" was written by Brian May and performed by Queen in 1977. It is one of Queens biggest songs worldwide. One version of "We Will Rock You" was the opening track on the album "News of the World. When I first heard this song, I first thought of it as a protest song. Later, I thought it was a song to be played specifically, during the games at a football stadium. So, it's not surprising that "We Will Rock You" is played in sports arenas and has become a sports anthem. I remember being home from college, with my youngest sister singing, "You got mud on your face, you big disgrace, somebody better put you back into your place..." If she wasn't singing these lyrics, the song was being played somewhere and it was often followed by "We Are The Champions." "We Will Rock You" is one of those songs destined not to go away. It Is heard everywhere and several remixes as well as renditions have been made of this song. The song has made it on movie soundtracks such as D2: The Mighty Ducks.

We Will Rock You Lyrics


Buddy youre a boy make a big noise
Playin in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo face

Buddy youre a young man hard man
Shoutin in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo face
You big disgrace
Wavin your banner all over the place

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Buddy youre an old man poor man
Pleadin with your eyes gonna make you some peace some day
You got mud on your face
You big disgrace
Somebody better put you back in your place

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Wikipedia: Song Information

"We Will Rock You" was released in the UK as a B-side to "We Are the Champions", and became one of Queen's biggest songs worldwide. A staple of arena and stadium sports everywhere, it was a conscious decision by Brian May to make the song simple and anthemic ("stomp, stomp, clap, pause" in a 4/4 metre), so that their live audience could be more directly involved in the show. Elektra Records in the US recommended putting "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" together as a single, and the double A-side reached #4 in the US in 1978. In the video for "We Will Rock You" and "Spread Your Wings", May used a copy of his guitar. He supposedly didn't want to commit his Red Special to outside conditions, as the videos for these songs featured the band performing in the snow at Taylor's garden.
