RockGeek Fact of the Day #4325

R

Queen frontman Freddie Mercury died on this day in 1991. :: sigh :: One of their lesser known (but incredible) songs “Dragon Attack” features a melody eerily similar to another better known track, “We Will Rock You.” Most of the track evolved out of a drunken jam session the band had at the studio. Brian May then added lyrics and melody, the latter being surprisingly similar to “We Will Rock You.”

Compare the lines “Buddy you’re a boy make a big noise playing in the street” with “Take me to the room where the red’s all red take me…”
