The story behind 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' - Queen - Day's Of Our Lives Documentary

[frankfeijem]

this is what i like about queen. the different styles in their music. from rock to blues to jazz to disco/dance... this is music!! they are legends!!!

[jdspreest]

that's what makes Queen so great...whatever musical genre they ventured into, they succeeded in...that's what happens when you have four geniuses working together as a team, all feeding each other ideas on making all their songs better...I've read that no matter who wrote or started the song, all four of them would have a look and listen at it, and they'd all add or delete to the original vision or idea for the song...that's pretty awesome.They all had different musical interests, and so you can see that almost every Queen song features a blend of genres, be it metal, jazz, thrash, funk, blues, rockabilly....just awesome.

How more human could Freddie get?? Brian says he sang Johnny's song"another one bites the dust"till he bled just so he could make it sound as funky as John wanted it., .makes me cry., .goes to show how much he valued each one of the band members and wanted to make everyone of them feel as comfortable as they could get..
And, I've watched many of their official videos and live performances, I must say John had a lot of funk in him, even with a calm demeanor, he always had an.. energy to him, it's like whenever Freddie fired up, John got sparked..makes me understand his state of shock after Freddie's death and eventual leaving of the band, nobody else could bring out the fun in him and convey his feelings like Freddie did..Rest in peace...my Persian popinjay

How Queen wrote songs: ''Quickly! Let's finish it before Brian gets here!''

The more I listen to Freddie sing now I realize why Freddie sang most of them he gave his all on every song im spoiled now. Freddie and

Crazy Little Thing Called Love is one of my favorite Queen songs. It had a fun and very celebratory sound to it. It was infectious, and still is to this day.

Roger says "it wasn't my thing" yet he comes with one of the grooviest disco ever. :D ...ahh these guys.

[salatieljyrustumanan]

10 minutes?! It took Freddie that long to make one of their best songs? Jesus, he's amazing!

[brittneybrisbin]

As an American, I would like to apologize on my country's behalf for not recognizing Queen's genius. Glad we rectified that.

If you read a bit between the lines, you'll see why John doesn't play with Queen anymore (or with anyone for that matter). Seems that Queen was two tag-teams: John&Freddie and Roger&Brian. On Freddie's demise John was probably the one that took it the hardest - because Freddie was the charismatic supporter to John's timid character. Just listen to Brian: "Freddie, sort of, sang it until he bled, cause he was so committed to making it sound the way John wanted".

Lol 10 minutes of song writing and rushing so Brian doesn't get the chance to help but still manages to get top charts in the usa

Crazy Little Thing Called Love hit #1 here in the States mostly because of our love for Elvis and many people thought it was Elvis. Queen only had two #1 singles in the U.S. Elvis deserves huge credit for this being a hit which Freddie would proudly have given him as he adored Elvis.

Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Another One Bites the Dust are my earliest Queen memories. I remember my sisters and I going crazy over the songs. I was probably only 5 years old. It was before MTV, but even now Crazy Little Thing is one of my favorite Queen videos because Freddie is an absolute dreamboat 😍😍😍

I love the fact that Freddie tried his best to sing the song like John wanted while Roger hated having tape on his drums.

[miapalmer]

Freddie and John both got number one songs in America’s charts

10 minutes to write a song; takes me longer to figure out which toppings to get on my pizza. The man was a lyrical genius. 🙌

[vinnyreed]

Picture this
Freddie is in the bath and creates this song and then *THUD* Brian enters the bathroom and says “is someone making a song without me”

[RyanInLA]

love how they left Mercury's exhales and grunts in the mix on "Another One Bites The Dust", most producers would have removed that

[Triumph]

Ironic because Jazz is my favorite all time Queen album overall.
