"We Are The Champions" by Queen.

OK, girls and boys, back to the 70s": According to Freddie Mercury, "I was thinking about football (soccer) when I wrote it. I wanted a participation song, something that the fans could latch on to". This '77 Queen power ballad has become a staple in sports victories and has been extensively covered. The B-side was "We Will Rock You" and both are routinely played together. On numerous occasions Freddie had to defer to Roger Taylor to hit the high C during live performances. #4 US, #2 UK. Very respectable rendition by Adam Lambert and Kris Allen fronting for Queen during the Season 8 American Idol finale. Who knew then that Lambert would eventually become Queen's frontman?! Things happen for a reason - it was in the stars - might not had happened if he had won!
