We Will Rock You Song Lyrics :

 

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’
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
Buddy, you’re an old man, poor man
Pleading with your eyes,
gonna make you some peace someday
You got mud on your face, big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place
We will, we will rock you, sing it
We will, we will rock you, everybody
We will, we will rock you, hmm
We will, we will rock you
Alright

About Queen :

Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals) created Queen, a British rock group that later added bassist John Deacon. The band was formed in London in 1970. Progressive rock, hard rock, and heavy metal were the bands’ initial influences, but they progressively branched out into more mainstream and radio-friendly songs by adding additional genres including arena rock and pop rock.

May and Taylor had performed together in the band Smile before to starting Queen. Mercury was a big fan of Smile and pushed them to try out more complex recording and performance methods. He proposed the moniker “Queen” when he joined in 1970. Before the group’s 1973 self-titled debut album was published, Deacon was hired in February 1971.

First, the Queen topped the UK charts in 1974 with Queen II, their second album. They achieved international success with Sheer Heart Attack later that year and A Night at the Opera in 1975. In the latter, “Bohemian Rhapsody” peaked at number one in the UK for nine weeks and contributed to the widespread use of music videos.

The songs “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” from the band’s 1977 album News of the World have become stadium anthems. Queen had become one of the world’s most popular arena rock acts by the early 1980s. Their best-selling single was “Another One Bites the Dust” from The Game (1980), and their Greatest Hits compilation album (1981) is the best-selling album in the UK and has nine platinum certifications.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified it as four times platinum in the US. Numerous publications list their performance from the 1985 Live Aid concert as one of the best in rock history. Mercury’s final performance with Queen took place at Knebworth, England, in August 1986.

Although Mercury maintained his illness a secret, he received an AIDS diagnosis in 1987. Two other albums were issued by the group: The Miracle in 1989 and Innuendo in 1991. After making his AIDS diagnosis public on November 23, 1991, Mercury passed on the next day from bronchopneumonia, an AIDS-related illness.

Made in Heaven, an album that included Mercury’s vocals, was released in 1995. While May and Taylor continued to appear sometimes together, Deacon retired in 1997. They have been on tour since 2004 as “Queen+”, featuring Adam Lambert and Paul Rodgers on vocals.

For over fifty years, Queen has been a prominent figure in popular culture worldwide. Their record sales are estimated to be between 250 million and 300 million, placing them among the top-selling musicians worldwide. Queen won the Brit Award for Best British Music Contribution in 1990.

After being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, all four of them were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003, with each member having written hit singles. They were honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018 after winning the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors’ Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Song Collection in 2005.

History from 1968 to 1971: Bases

In the late 1960s, the founding members of Queen got together in west London. In 1963, guitarist Brian May made his own guitar with his father. The following year, he and singer Tim Staffell founded the band 1984, which took its name from George Orwell’s novel. Early in 1968, May broke away from the group to concentrate on his studies at Imperial College for a degree in Physics and Infrared Astronomy, and to locate a group that could produce original material.

Along with Chris Smith, the keyboardist, and Staffell, who was then playing bass, he founded the band Smile. May posted a job posting on a college bulletin board seeking a “Mitch Mitchell/Ginger Baker type” drummer to round out the lineup. A young dental student named Roger Taylor applied, and was hired. Smith abruptly quit the group in the beginning of 1969 prior to a performance by Free and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band at the Royal Albert Hall.

Staffell made friends with Farrokh “Freddie” Bulsara, an Indian Parsi student from Zanzibar, while attending Ealing Art College in west London. Before deciding to focus on graphic art and design, Bulsara studied fashion design for a year. She quickly developed a strong affection for Smile. He requested to become the lead singer of the group, but May thought Staffell would not relinquish that position. Alongside Taylor, he had a stall in Kensington Market.

Staffell left Smile in 1970 because he was frustrated with the band’s lack of success and felt that the hard rock style of the group conflicted with his interests in soul and R&B. He teamed up with former Bee Gees drummer Colin Petersen to form the ensemble Humpy Bong.

Mike Grose, a friend of Taylor’s, was brought in as bassist, and the remaining members agreed to have Bulsara sing lead. On June 27, 1970, the four performed for the first time at a fund-raising event in Truro. Bulsara proposed renaming the group as “Queen”. He assured them that “it’s wonderful, dear, people will love it” when the others were first unsure.

The lyrics “Mother Mercury, look what they’ve done to me” from the song “My Fairy King” led him to alter his surname to Mercury at the same time. On July 18, the group performed at their first gig in London. The early collection included tracks that would later be found on the first two albums in addition to

several rock & roll covers, including “Please Don’t Tease” by Cliff Richard and the Shadows. Producer John Anthony noticed them and was intrigued by the group’s music, but he felt the bass player wasn’t the right fit. Following three live performances, Mike Grose announced his decision to leave the band, and Barry Mitchell (formerly of Crushed Butler) took his place.

Between August 1970 and January 1971, Mitchell performed with Queen on thirteen occasions. Conversely, Mitchell departed in January 1971, and Doug Bogie took over for a pair of live performances.

1971–1974: Queen Elizabeth I and II

Queen brought John Deacon on board in February 1971. Not only was he an accomplished bassist, but he also had a quiet demeanor that fit well with the band and was proficient with electronics. July 2nd saw Queen perform. their debut performance at a Surrey college outside of London including the iconic lineup of Mercury, May, Taylor, and Deacon.

May contacted Terry Yeadon, an engineer at Smile’s recording studio, Pye Studios, to see if he knew of any locations where Queen could travel. Since then, Yeadon had relocated to the new De Lane Lea Studios location in Wembley, and they need a team to evaluate the apparatus and recording spaces. He attempted to contact the Kinks but was unable to do so.

He therefore informed Queen that in return for the studio’s acoustic tests, they may record some demos. “Liar”, “Keep Yourself Alive”, “Great King Rat”, “The Night Comes Down”, and “Jesus” are five of their own songs that they recorded. Producers Roy Thomas Baker and John Anthony worked together during the recording.
