This is why Freddie is the GOAT ... he could sing everything and anything. And as good as other artists' voices may be/were, there isn't/wasn't one who could do hard rock, soft rock, pop, opera, funk, rockibilly, on and on and on.
Freddie & John, two Cool Cats.. Oh, and from what I understand, except for Freddie playing piano, John plays ALL the other instruments - no Roger no Brian on this song. It's so smooth. Freddie & John liked to dance.
Neither Brian or Roger were into funk so wanted nothing to do with this, so we've got Freddie on vocals/keyboard and John taking care of the rest. This is the one I can't get enough of.
🙋🏾♀️ Hiya Janetjrfan 💁🏾♀️ I get more of Bobby Debarge feel from Switch than Smokey Robinson. Even the beat to me was heavily borrowed from their hit song: "There Never Be" ✌🏾! th-cam.com/video/HkADoYdKt-Q/w-d-xo.html
this was from the album Hot Space 1982. He and John were really into this more dance and funky vibe. Roger and Brian were not so into this sound. Freddie's voice is amazing in this and we can't forget john. He was a great song writer and that base, OMG! If you liked this song then you would probably like The Hot Space album. Try reacting to Body language, or Back Chat or calling all girls. This was a good album but it was ahead of it's time i think. It has now reached the level as one of their best selling albums but not at the time and they all felt like Hot Space was a mistake for them. I love that Queen always tried to reinvent themselves and remain relevant. Even Freddie said that as long as there were more to do with Queen and it didn't get boring then Queen would always be his priority, but that none of them wanted to go on if they weren't able to produce good music and music that keeps them interested. In one interview Freddie joked that if he ever left Queen he would become a stripper and dance to all the songs he wrote. LOL!!! Freddie had a wicked sense of humor. You would probably like some of the songs on his solo album, Mr. Bad Guy. Some of those songs are Mr. Bad Guy (the 1985 original version, not the 1992 remix), Foolin Around, Living on my own (the official video because it has film from Freddie's 39th birthday party in New Orleans and it is wild.) Love me like there's no tomorrow, Made in Heaven and I was born to love you. These are all good songs and i feel like this was a little ahead of it's time as well. Anyway, I do love watching your reactions and i am glad i found your channel, especially having to stay home and being bored and a little depressed. I get on TH-cam and your always on there making the day a bit more fun, so i thank you for that.
I think Hot Space is a really underrated Queen album. It was the first one they used any synths which was a real break for them as they used to specifically state on each album that it had been made without using synths. But I think the songs on here, mostly stripped back compared with their operatic and multiple-part songs off other albums, are really solid. Much more of a bass-heavy, guitar-light. This album was 1982, disco was dying out but dance/funk was always around.
I love how you were feeling the bass! IMO this (or perhaps "Dragon Attack") is the most underrrated Queen song-- or my favourite, in any event:) If you're ever feeling like a million bucks and you want to walk down the street soaking it up, just blast this on your earphones and strut with a smile :) Fun fact, there is a version of the song featuring David Bowie, which is worth listening to. In fact, Bowie delayed the release of the album (which already included the Bowie colab "Under Pressure") by requesting that his version not be included on the final album as he was not satisfied with it. As others have said this was definitely a John and Freddie project. John was the shy one in the band and Freddie, ever the gentleman, often took up his side and enthusiastically advocated for, and in participated, in John's songs perhaps most notably " Another One Bites the Dust".
Geez...people don't know what they're missing, missing this song. Thanks!!! The beauty of the studio, hearing him singing falsetto continuously. They were masters of the studio!
They got a lot of flak for the Hot Space album but it has definitely stood the test of time. Not what Queen fans at the time expected from them. John should be proud. Really shows how willing they were to explore all genres of music.
Great reaction!!! I'm ashamed to say I almost forgot about this song. About two months ago, I adopted two kittens from the shelter. They were strutting around my bed like nobody's business one day....and Boom! This song came back, every lyric, every bass line, every incredible Freddy falsetto. This is now played every night to remind them that they are 'Cool Cats'!
Hi, I really like your reactions to Queen. I would like you to react to a very underrated song, which is in my personal top 5 of all Queen songs: It's late. Whish you lots of fun reacting to this song or any other Queen song. You can't go wrong :-)
Thanks, Fabian, for this - I have heard that this is the only song (or one of few) that Fred sang entirely in falsetto - I came late to hear this,k although I was very engaged with Queen from about 1976 to 1980 -
Awww I dig this sooo much, and the way he singing wow and when he go down, I can say in the 3’th line. Wow that soooo groovie.....yeah I dig this song alout, and of course I have a Cool Cat 😽
This is from the Hot Space album which was a switch up of their sound. More dance and funk which wasn’t well received at the time but I think it is great. I recommend “Staying Power”, “Calling All Girls”, “Back Chat”, “Las Palabras de Amore” and “Put Out the Fire” from the album.
I loved your reaction to Cool Cat. It was not a hit when it came out, because Hot Space was too much of a departure for most Queen fans. It certainly underlines the fact that Freddie can sing anything and sound like it was his personal genre. You might be surprised by Ride the Wild Wind from the Innuendo album, another departure, featuring Freddie in a much lower register.
Queen really could do anything. While when Queen started, Freddie, Roger, and Brian had similar musical interests mainly all bonding over Jimi Hendrix (John never did-he always liked either softer pop music, funk, or in later years disco), their tastes definitely diverged as they got older. Freddie actually barely listened to new music according to his personal assistant but loved ballet, musical theater, and Opera; however, he heard the dance music in the clubs he frequented. Brian always has liked the harder stuff. I am guessing that comes from being a guitarist since hard rock music is so guitar-based. Roger was the type who followed new music and trends. You can see that in his writing since he wrote Sheer Heart Attack (which had been started but never finished years before) in the heat of the punk movement, wrote Rock It (Prime Jive)-seriously one of my favorite Queen songs- with an early 80s pop sound (it sounds like it could have been written by The Cars), Radio Ga Ga in the 80s techno era, and These are the Days of Our Lives in that early 90s slow jam era. Like others said, Brian and Roger had nothing to do with this song. John played the guitar and they used a drum machine. Hot Space was an interesting choice in music but I think more than anything it diverged so much from the Queen sound it was not well liked. Some people say it was before it's time but I actually think Hot Space came more across as a disco hold out which was already was becoming passe. By 1982, New Wave and a resurgence of rock was coming back and Queen looked like it was trying to get back the success of Another One Bites the Dust instead of move forward. Even in the hip-hop world, disco and funk were getting less popular and rap was starting to gain hold. Still, there are some good songs on this album but I prefer when they are playing to their strengths and firing on all four cylinders (i.e. all four musicians are playing). They individually are such good musicians, combined they area unstoppable. Much of Hot Space replaced Freddie's piano with synths, barely had Brian's guitar, and replaced Roger with a drum machine. Vocally too, since the music was less sweeping and dramatic as Freddie (and more often Brian) wrote which really displayed Freddie's voice so beautifully, this album reigned back Freddie's voice often. They all were drinking and partying too much during the album and it showed, in my opinon.
Hot Space is often named a disco album, but in truth there isn't really any disco on the album. It is pop, R'nB, funk, soul and motown in the case of Cool Cat. Roger's song Calling All The Girls was more new wave and there is even the usual hard rock song with Put Out The Fire. It was a big experiment for Queen because this wasn't really their normal direction. Of course they had success with Another One Bites The Dust, but when it was written at the time they didn't think much of the song. Freddie does have some great vocal on this album. Personally not every song is a favorite, but they were trying something else. I think a song such as Radio Gaga was far more predictable and generic.
@@ZENOBlAmusic I don't disagree that this was an unpredictable album and different for the time, especially for Queen. I also agree Radio Ga Ga was predictable and very much with the time when it came out. However, Hot Space was not "ahead of it's time" like I have heard people say but was actually a throwback to 60s/70s funk and soul mixed with pop. Both R & B and pop music at the time were not headed in the direction of the music of Hot Space. They were leaving behind that sound and you really didn't see it come back until decades later. It still sounds to me that they had such success with The Game with the two most popular songs being Another One Bites The Dust and Crazy Little Think called love which one was funk and disco and the other was an early rock throwback that they abandoned what makes them different (having four exceptionally talented musicians with an great ability to vocally harmonize) and tried to re-create what made their last album successful. Although I love a lot of the music from Queen in the 80s, I feel like the fact they were less close as individuals (especially with Freddie) and interacted mostly only for professional reasons, they kind of lost their soul as Queen. They didn't really have a particularly great albums as a whole after The Game in the 80s. They had great songs and good albums, just not great albums as a whole. Unfortunately, it would take Freddie getting sick for them to get together and a group and put out an album that really had the soul of Queen. Innuendo was an amazing album as a whole (even Freddie's silly Delilah with Brian making his Red Special sound like a cat-it was a nod back to the campy songs in between the heavier ones on their older albums which usually had instruments or vocals trying to sound like other instruments or things-like Good Company, Seaside Rondezvous, Bring Back Leroy Brown).
Thanks for the comment! Freddie loved all styles of music and liked to experiment. They did not always agree, but they were still together as one family and supported each other. That was their success.
Love this, Thanks! 'Funk' was a 1970's genre led by George Clinton. Take a look at his bands Funkadelic & Parliament. Brian's song "All Dead, All Dead" has a sweet animation video, and a very personal story being told.
One of the highlights of the overly maligned 'Hot Spaces' album (not nearly as bad many say it is).This was originally planned as a duet between between Queen and David Bowie, but I think Bowie wasn't crazy about the song, so we ended getting 'Under Pressure' instead. There's a version of this on TH-cam with Bowie's vocals. And now I learned a new phrase: "genrely speaking". Thanks for the video- I really like this song too.
Love cool cat ,can you react to flash ,from the movie flash ,didn't like the movie but the sound track is it's saviour ,thank you ,stay safe ,from Liverpool UK ,
Bands like KC and the Sunshine Band , The Bee Gees , Ohio Players , The Commodores , Earth Wind and Fire , Marvin Gaye were all huge in the mid 70's , definitely the funk & disco era , lots of other bands too . I love funky music ! 😁
I love this by Freddie and John! If you're into funk and a good bass line, please check out Inside Looking Out, by Grand Funk Railroad 1969. Love your reactions.
Freddie's falsetto was amazing. John was playing the instruments and the synth was used as the drum beat if I am not mistaken. It seems that this album is more accepted now than back when it was first released. I have always loved it though!
Fabian ,my favorite band since 1974 has been Queen , always has been and always will be my favorite band , my all-time favorite Queen song is Some Day One Day from Queen 2 , it's written and sung by Brian . Those haunting guitar parts are the definitive Queen sound , but my very first Queen songs were Killer Queen / Flick of the Wrist way back in late 74 , I was only 12 years old ! 😌
David Bowie and Queen were both in Switzerland at the same time and Bowie provided backing vocals on the first recording of this song. Then Queen and David began to write and record "Under Pressure." Later David called Freddie and asked that his vocals be taken off this song. David didn't like his own contribution. Here's the version with David and you can see his point. Sounds much better with just Freddie on this one. th-cam.com/video/BojSYX3M1_g/w-d-xo.html
Fred went to the clubs and bars in New York where he heard the "disco"-sound and liked it. So he was insprired and wrote some "disco"-songs. But the band - except John - didn't liked it. Glad they released the album "Hot Space" anyway. It's very different from the classic Queen-Sound and it took me a while to get into it. Now it's one of my favs albums by Queen :-)
Giles McRiker, have u seen Queen live? From the way u spelled "favourite" the way only a Brit would, & your first name being Giles, I'm guessing u are a Brit? Now I'm hoping u are old enough to have seen Queen live??? If so, please please tell?

Cool Cat one of my favourites too. You could try It’s a hard life, song is not in my top 10 from Queen, but really love this performance great vocal th-cam.com/video/-BuILTO_p9k/w-d-xo.html . and you could try Mother Love Freddie’s last recording, great vocal considering how close it was to his passing. th-cam.com/video/6rSJbkZOvo0/w-d-xo.html
yesssss
This is why Freddie is the GOAT ... he could sing everything and anything. And as good as other artists' voices may be/were, there isn't/wasn't one who could do hard rock, soft rock, pop, opera, funk, rockibilly, on and on and on.
Oh yes on and on..disco, funk, baudeville, jazz, rnb, opera, anthemes, sound tracks...queen genre...
Freddie & John, two Cool Cats.. Oh, and from what I understand, except for Freddie playing piano, John plays ALL the other instruments - no Roger no Brian on this song. It's so smooth. Freddie & John liked to dance.
yessss
Neither Brian or Roger were into funk so wanted nothing to do with this, so we've got Freddie on vocals/keyboard and John taking care of the rest. This is the one I can't get enough of.
Yeah - pretty clear that Roger and Brian were the "rockers" - :)
Glad you jumped on this one so fast!
Freddie sang this in his falsetto. This has a very Motown feel to it.
yesss very motown!
Pain is so close to pleasure has a similar vibe.
Freddie was totally "channeling" Smokey Robinson on this one! Love it!
🙋🏾♀️ Hiya Janetjrfan 💁🏾♀️ I get more of Bobby Debarge feel from Switch than Smokey Robinson. Even the beat to me was heavily borrowed from their hit song: "There Never Be" ✌🏾!

This was all Freddie and John Deacon. Roger and Brian were not into this sound. :(
Wow finally, one of my fave queen hidden gems...really cool...more queen please...tnxmuch...
Hot Space is an album that tends to divide Queen fans. Some love it and some hate it. I love it though :) such a great album.
Couldn’t agree more. I love it too.
I am learning it. To me so far I like it. Queen did every kind of music and did it great
Especially when played live ! But Hot Space has some incredible guitar solos from Brian !
Awesome, thanks 🙏🏽
And from this Queen 'funk' album please check out Queen - Staying Power live in Milton Keynes Bowl (John also plays guitar instead of bass)
I love how you were feeling the bass!
IMO this (or perhaps "Dragon Attack") is the most underrrated Queen song-- or my favourite, in any event:)
If you're ever feeling like a million bucks and you want to walk down the street soaking it up, just blast this on your earphones and strut with a smile :)

Yes, live in Montreal 1981❤️
Queens back catalogue is incredible! So many songs that should have been number 1s!
Cool Cat amazing! Classic summer track!
Geez...people don't know what they're missing, missing this song. Thanks!!! The beauty of the studio, hearing him singing falsetto continuously. They were masters of the studio!
Had no idea this was a Queen song. Live and learn.
Check out the whole of the Hot Space album. Lots of surprises :-)
Thanks for the heart. You are not going to regret it if you a reacting to it, it is one of the best raptracs ever made
They got a lot of flak for the Hot Space album but it has definitely stood the test of time. Not what Queen fans at the time expected from them. John should be proud. Really shows how willing they were to explore all genres of music.
Innuendo!
(Didn't look at your list so sorry if you already did it.. 🤗)
