Seems like everyone knows this song, but me, of course.A while back, I took up the time to research this classic 80's hit, with the hopes of understanding the legendary hype behind what is supposedly one of the greatest songs of all time.
Originally, I thought the song was a composition by The Fugees, but apparently, it's by a band called, Queen, of whom released such hits as "Another One Bites The Dust," "We Will Rock You," and "We Are The Champions," all songs we know very well.The song is 6 minutes and 5 seconds long... Look, I'm an impatient person, which warrants why I wasn't able to sit down long enough to listen to the song in it's entirety, especially because at the time it didn't make sense to me -- it's 3 different songs in one!
It wasn't until years later (the other day), that the song started popping up EVERYWHERE: First I hear a crazy dude singing it on the train, then 'Vocal Adrenaline' performs it on Glee, then my friends are singing it in karaoke (which is normal, I guess), then a bunch of shows I watch make reference to it -- I, literally, felt like it was everywhere.I've now decided to learn it, because as a destined karaoke star, I need to know this song to be one of the great ones. Plus, it's a really great song - you've gotta have a pretty hefty scrotum sack to sing a song like this.
I can't say much more, other than the fact that it's just great. I've now listened to it 13 times in a row. I'm going to attempt the karaoke version now.
I put the karaoke version on the bottom if you wanna try it out.
You should, it's awesome.
