@@Whitewolf1827 I Never Heard That,,But Even if He Did, the Song was Not Written for Sporting Events, As I Said "The Sport Thing Came Years Later" If it was Written for Sporting Events it would have been used as Soon as it was Released back in 1977 , Not Years Later, The Fans Chose The Song for Sporting Events Not Queen.
I don't think it's a "song fact" that Freddie was thinking of football when he wrote it. It's clearly about his own experiences as an aspiring rock musician. He most definitely was NOT tailoring this song for sporting events.
Neither this nor We Will Rock You were written specifically for playing at games, but Freddie had football (soccer) in mind when he wrote it. He wanted an audience participation anthem like a chant at sporting events.
As far as you getting close to 80, it's all you! The vibe is great and this 50 year old white lady loves it when younger people react to the music I grew up on. Dressing like Madonna and listening to hair bands. Lol. Now I hear my music played in the grocery store. Lol. You two are the first channel I check out whenever I log on to youtube. At running the risk of sounding like your moms I'm proud of you and I know you'll go a lot farther than where you are right now. Guaranteed! ❤
I always thought it interesting that 3 songs, that sound nothing alike & were written by 3 different men (1-Freddy, 2-Brian, 3-John), each became iconic sports anthems. It's really a testament to the amazing, individual talents in that group.
When this tune was still popular and on the radio a lot, it was always paired with "We Will Rock You." You always heard them together like they were two parts of the same track. Freddie Mercury was an amazingly talented singer and musician, but he is also one of the most legendary rock and roll front men. If you haven't already, check out the Live Aid video. That performance shows his true mastery of working with a crowd. In fact, there's a 53 second clip from the 20+ minute performance titled "EEEEEOOOOOO" that shows it all. In between songs, he led the massive crowd in an extended , complex call-and-response that is just breathtaking. Guys, in terms of my own musical tastes, I'm an old school blues and jazz fan. I love rock and roll too, and the Beatles will always be my first love, but I've never been a great fan of rock from the 70s and 80s - most of it felt overblown, overwrought, self-important, and kind of dull to me. Queen was one of the exceptions, and my appreciation for their music has only increased as I've gotten older. Some music I look back on and think, "Uh, why did I like this when I was a kid?" or some other similar question. Queen is an example of an artist who, when I look back at, only seems to improve.
Love this one too! Even today, most classic rock stations I know will play We will rock you and this back to back with no commercial and not even a station ID. It's almost mandatory.
Yeah, I remember when they always used to play them back to back on the radio. I think We Will Rock You was the A side and We Are the Champions was the B side when the singles were released.
The biggest testament to this amazing band's music is despite Freddie passing away thirty years ago come Nov 24th 2021. The music and his command of the crowd and his voice will survive us all far into the future.
Oh yeah. My school played this a LOT. Whenever one of our sports teams won the championship this was played. Proud to say my varsity softball got to hear this twice!
Freddie mercury wrote the majority of his songs and also collaborated with band members.we are the champions was not written for sports but for people in general about their own self worth on how you feel about your self.
Not specifically written for sporting events. The band wanted something that their audiences could participate in, so Freddie came up with 'We are the Champions' and Brian 'We Will Rock You.'
When you said they are sports songs technically yes but they are were considered as stadium songs a lot of groups did songs like that that were for crowds of 70,000 Plus
It was written for those of us being champions of social cause, champions of our environment, champions of ourselves. The sports world later adopted the song because it fits what ever finals winner there is.
Nah but they just started discovering Queen, so I feel like it'd be too early for TSMGO. It wouldn't have the same effect on them as if they listened to at least a few more albums (especially the last 2)
this was our song when in the weight / strength / condition room for wrestling and foot ball....don't know how much l lifted over those four years to this song. i think every high school had this cranked in the gym !!! this came out in the 1970's when i was in high school...far as i know only written for the art of music...not the sports :) thanks for the memories !!! typhoon out.
Half and Jai, check out Queens Live Aid performance from 1985. One of the greatest live performances ever and in front of a huge crowd and they have the whole crowd in the palm of their hands.
Observational comment on the effect of music. When the video started, I thought Half was in the dog house because Jai was not smiling and very serious. Freddie starts singing and Jai busts out with a big ol' smile! ohhh and Jai had the sexy flowing locks..... Half outta the dog house because of music! maybe....lol
You guys should check out some of the funkier Queen tunes, such as "Fun It" or "Dragon Attack"! Another hit by them, but hardly ever heard anymore is "Need Your Loving Tonight".
this is the other half to Another One Bites The Dust. They say Freddie/the band wrote tihis after Bohemian Rhapsody was a hit, for a record producer who said they would never make it.
The song wasn’t sports related until years later. But when it was hot on the radio in the day, you ALWAYS heard “WE WILL ROCK YOU” and “WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS” together, ya never heard one without the other, it was almost like one song, but not.
No they didn't write it for sports although it lend itself to sport events...It was written by Freddie about their struggle to become successful and the hard work it took to get there.. for example their first record label taking most of their earnings...Brian at first didn't want them to do this song because he thought the critics would think it was arrogant..but Freddie's 'I' was also "we" -all of us who have struggled hard to achieve our goals.
I believe on the album and definetly on the radio it was always We Will Rock You into We are The Champions. They are two separate songs but Queen meant for them to be together.
Freddie said "I was thinking about football when I wrote it. I wanted a participation song, something the fans could latch on to. It was aimed at the masses; I thought we'd see how they took it. It worked a treat. When we performed it at a private concert in London, the fans actually broke into a football chant between numbers. Of course, I've given it more theatrical subtlety than an ordinary football chant. You know me. I certainly wasn't thinking about the press when I wrote it. I never think about the British music press these days. I suppose it could also be construed as my version of 'I Did It My Way': we have made it, and it certainly wasn't easy. No bed of roses as the song says. And it's still not easy.'' Brian May said: ''This song is very theatrical. Freddie is very close to his art. I must say, when he first played it for us in the studio, we all fell on the floor with laughter. So many of the people in the press hate us because we've sidestepped them and got where we have without them. But there's no way the song says anything against our audiences. When the song says 'we', it means us and the fans.''
I was in 5th grade in 1977 when this album came out. I saw Queen in 1980, at the Hartford civic center in Connecticut, it was amazing, no backing musicians, just the 4 of them
the songs we will rock you and we are the champions were usually played one right after the other but also could be continued one after together with a brid=ef pause ,, its weird how within 43 yrs this became the anthem of sports and all that are down but still fighting
Y'all need to come visit New Orleans when we get through all this. If you haven't been, it's a must. I've never heard the Queen Christmas song either, so I would love to see y'all react on Christmas and experience it for myself at the same time. Much love from Nola Nikki 💜
I always heard this and 'we will rock you' were gay pride anthems. ..but def hits home for me, when the 'Mighty Ducks' sang it around the campfire. ..they are one of many forever ICONIC bands that will surpass time. ..KEEP ROCKIN, Half & Jai
I see alot have requested "fat bottomed girls "...the best one is The live at the bowl 1982 performance. He does some pole dancing in it. It's a great live performance.
Great to see y'all fam hope you had great thanksgiving you should feel like the champion cause you are the champions we're all the champions another great queen song that people know and love but just didn't know that queen sings it🔥🎶🔥
I've been subscribed you guys for a while and was so excited to watch you finally discovered Queen they're my all-time favorite band and I get so excited when you do another reaction to Queen, Freddie's anniversary of his death was on the 24th not sure if you knew that it's been 29 years. If you wouldn't mind please watch his epicly funny official video called I want to break free it's a spoof of a British soap opera it's supposed to be funny don't try to make anything of it it's just for laughs and they all had a great time making it, keep in mind the theme to this video was not Freddy's idea I'll leave it at that don't do any research just watch it raw and I guarantee you you will definitely enjoy it aside from that, breakthrough is another one and dragon attack are too amazing amazing songs, Queen Alters all their genres all over the place so you cannot ever put them in a box
Honestly, you should see the video of thousands of people in a stadium rocking out to "Bohemian Rhapsody" while waiting to watch Green Day perform. Over forty years after the song came out and over a decade after Freddie died
Champions of Queen aren’t you now....you love these guys....we all do. They really were something special.❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥😎check out their set from Live Aid...it’s magical, facts. The entire stadium is in Freddie’s hands for 25 minutes. Please check that out. By the way- Live Aid is something worth looking into....so many artists you cannot count them all. 1985....Epic production on 2 continents at the same time live on MTV all day and night. 🤘😎
They wrote We Will Rock You & We Are The Champions to encourage audience participation in the giant stadiums they were p playing.. Brian wrote Rock You & Freddie wrote We Are The Champions.
So long as you keep in mind that the took a LOT of artistic license, and that it is NOT historically accurate. Case in point; Freddie did NOT know he had AIDS before Live Aid.
I get a kick out of the reaction videos of you all with Queen. I was young when these song's were popular and know all the word's to the songs and just think how weird it is that so many didn't know they sang these song's. Then I realize I'm getting older. Sports took over the song's.
Queen, Seven Seas of Rhye... see him and his fast fingers on the piano. Everybody sees it come up after this video, but few actually watch it. It highlights Freddie's piano and theatrical talents.
You two are awesome. I wish we were neighbors, it would be fun. I can "introduce" you to some of the great rock bands of the 1970's: Styx, ELO, Boston, Uriah Heep, Saga, Meat Loaf. I could go on. You two are so much fun to watch. Will talk soon.
Thanks, H& J - this "official video" is great b/c you get to hear the entire intended harmonies! Don't this it was written to be a "sports anthem" - back in the day, Queen albums ran one song right into the next - with, like, no pause - and the lead-in to this was "We will Rock you" -- I think they were writing songs for audience participation - not "sports" - and both of those songs got the audiences involved... which naturally lead to sports fan audiences, with the theme of "power" -- lol
“We Will Rock You” before the game, and “We Are The Champions” after the game. So iconic.
Agree!
What about another bites the dust?
@@Jim-James-Jimbo that was during the game.
i remember singing we are the champions in 4th grade after winning any game. now I'm 22 and just found out who's song it is.
It was Just One of Their Hit Songs, The Sports Thing Came Years Later.
@Jamie Lee Right, But it Wasn't Written for a Sporting Event.
Freddie Mercury stated he was thinking of football when he wrote it. Check your song facts

Now "Somebody to Love" LIVE VERSION in MONTREAL 1981!!! ❤️
Hell yes
please god! he needs to watch it
That was the most powerful concert, Freddie was just amazing as well ad the audience.
Neither this nor We Will Rock You were written specifically for playing at games, but Freddie had football (soccer) in mind when he wrote it. He wanted an audience participation anthem like a chant at sporting events.
Audience participation as in rock concert audiences, not sporting event audiences.

We will rock you came out to get the audience involved and we are the champions came out right after. They're usually played one behind the other
This song always bring me to tears. It's so powerful. You can really feel it.
This played at the end of one of the mighty ducks movies when I was little. Was iconic for me
For me it was Revenge of the Nerds.
🤣🤣🤣 yes!!
@@Jennifer_615 🙌
heck yes!! i can remember that moment as a kid watching that movie and hearing this!!
@Ro 2 now that u mention I sort of remember it. I just remembered the other scene more. It was a grand moment in my little life.
They did 3 sports anthems:
1. We are the champions
2. We will rock you
3. Another one bites the dust

Growing up in high school we always thought We are the champions and We will rock you were one song.
Yeah, I remember when they always used to play them back to back on the radio. I think We Will Rock You was the A side and We Are the Champions was the B side when the singles were released.
If you haven't done "Killer Queen" it's a must!
I love that song too
Rock ...then be champions! 😎 that’s queen inspiring us all... , likely for all time!!😊 true legends! Rip Freddie. 😇

This is my 4 year old Granddaughters favorite song. She knows it word for word, waves her arms in the air. Nana taught her well!!
This song makes me cry! RIP Freddy. You left us waaay too soon!
His voice was incredible !! These guys were different !! No other band like them !
Oh yeah. My school played this a LOT. Whenever one of our sports teams won the championship this was played. Proud to say my varsity softball got to hear this twice!

I just adore you two ! Every time I jump on here with you, I am left with a smile on my face ... thank you !!
Yes 😁😁😁😁😁
It was written for those of us being champions of social cause, champions of our environment, champions of ourselves. The sports world later adopted the song because it fits what ever finals winner there is.
Somebody to Love, live in Montreal! Peace
Fat Bottom Girls and The Show Must Go On are Queen musts.

One final plea for FAT BOTTOM GIRLS by queen. Do it up :) plz. Great reaction AS ALWAYS guys
nothing like the album cover for FAT BOTTOM GIRLS !!!!!

They wanted to do some kind a stadium audience song in which every could participate!
React to Live Aid(1985). It was a charity concert for the famine in Ethiopia. 20+ min of music history. Queen stole the show and you'll see why 👍🏻

Hi sister Jai and brother Half. Blessed Be and take care.
I did this song in my scool's glee club after we won a footbball game against a rival school
"THE SHOW MUST GO ON" next please
Those 2 are the most famous tracks on “ news of the world “ but the best track is “ it’s late “ !
Somebody to Love live in Montreal 1981. A must
I suggest reacting to Sombody to love by queen.
Live at Montreal

you should react to "Somebody to love" ( Montreal, 1981).. Freddie is perfect at that concert
I really enjoy watching you Half and Jai... The both of you always puts me in a better mood when I am feeling down...
Not sure but actually a really good question. I'll have to look around and find out

the songs we will rock you and we are the champions were usually played one right after the other but also could be continued one after together with a brid=ef pause ,, its weird how within 43 yrs this became the anthem of sports and all that are down but still fighting
We will rock you, We are the Champions AND another one bites the dust are played in arena's and stadiums.

If you ever become grandparents, you can sing "We Are The Grampions."
Thank you. But Live Aid is a mandatory watch! Queen and one of the best live performances ever.
I Want It All
The mighty ducks movie to me made this more iconic but its a legendary song
I would think that they just wrote this song and We Will Rock You for themselves but I could be wrong.
I see alot have requested "fat bottomed girls "...the best one is The live at the bowl 1982 performance. He does some pole dancing in it. It's a great live performance.
Yea i think they should do the live version also
Brilliant Track that and your review have really lifted my spirits spot on👍
