THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
208-Queen-We Are The Champions.
1977-Number 2 single.
Best Bit-At 0.38.This song is also notable for boasting the best ‘B’ side in the world ever.
‘We Are The Champions’ was written by Freddie Mercury and was first released on Queen’s 1977 Album,’News Of The World.’The single featured ‘We Will Rock You’ as its ‘B’ side and followed that song on the Album.The two songs were often played consecutively at the close of Queen concerts and are often played together in Album order by many radio stations.
Freddie Mercury(see also best songs 918 and 615) explained the songs meaning.’I was thinking about football when I wrote it.I wanted a participation song,something the fans could latch on to.Of course I’ve given it more theatrical subtlety than a ordinary football chant.You know me,I suppose it could also be constructed as my version of I did it my way.’
‘No time for losers ’cause we are the champions of the world.’
