In the very first 15 seconds of the song "We are the Champions" by Queen, there is a little melody going on that is piano-- is this a small version of a larger song. I really liked the beat but I know I have heard it somewhere else. Can someone please tell me where I can find the larger version of the little melody that plays in the beginning?
Answer
No sorry this was entirely original and composed and written by Freddie Mercury sometime around August-November 1975 during the recording of A Night at the Opera at Sarm Studios, Roundhouse Studios, Olympic Studios, Scorpio Studios, Landsdowne Studios, London, England and Rockfield Studios, Wales. A Night at the Opera was at its time the most expensive album ever made. However on reflection Freddie thought it didnât quite fit into the album, so removed it and revisited the project later when the band was working on the News of the World album released in 1977.
We Are The Champions is considered as one of the greatest power balladâs of all time. The intro you stated is a piano and bass combination with excerpts written by Freddie Mercury and the entire track/song is a complete original work of Freddie Mercury. Perhaps you may heard a reproduced cover or sample by other sources, since itâs been covered by at least 51 artists (not including samples) such as Jay Z , Lil Wayne, Green Day, etc

Freddie Mercuryâs musical background was influenced and inspired by the arts, opera, ballet, theatre, poetry and in the shape of music from artists and composers ranging from Classical to Blues, Psychedelic, Soul , Funk , RnB and of course Rock.

What's the meaning to Jay Z's song " Run This Town" ?
Answer
The post apocalyptic setting has been done before in videos but what is it about the new Jay-z video "Run This Town" that is unsettling? What is it about the video that speaks to people interested in conspiracy theory, end of the world prophecy, or new world order clues?
For me the first thing I noticed was the all black everything, sticks raised in the air, and beret hat tilted to the side of Rihannaâs head. It brought back that feeling you get when you watch old footage of the Black Panther party when it started to get real thick in the late sixties when it came to race relations
Their look and image has become used to symbolize rebellion, and fighting for your rights against all odds, and often against people much more powerful than yourself. The voices of the many powerless against the voices of the few with power. A battle that always seems to mimic David vs Goliath.
The second thing I noticed was Rihannaâs chorus, âI feel it coming in the air and the screams from everywhere⦠canât be scarred when it goes down, got a problem tell me now, only thing thatâs on my mind is whose gone run this town tonight⦠we gone run this town tonightâ.
Those lyrics being sang as you watch a video with the background completely lit by fire, combined with visuals of people with scarves over their nose and mouth feels like it is speaking to the times we are living in and where we might end up if something doesnât give.
You could easily edit in scenes from the news of people at town hall meetings over healthcare, into this video. The times feel chaotic right now. Last week I could remember thinking if anarchy broke out tomorrow it would not surprise me because people are more and more feeling like the world as they knew it is slipping away.
Our future being boiled down to us stepping outside our homes wondering and/or fearing, âwhoâs gone run this town tonight?â
But then again in order for there to be rebirth someoneâs water has to break, so maybe the only thing we really have to fear is fear itself.
On the flip side I noticed that Kanyeâs rap is very superficial. It doesnât even seem to go with the theme of the song.
Is he being ironic in that what he is really saying is that if we keep worrying about the superficial things in life someone much darker, and much more real will slip in from behind and take over and/or destroy our way of life, or is he simply there to just cause kids too young to understand the message in the song to listen anyway?
What do you think? Is this music video a commentary on our society, the future of our society, the destruction of our society, or a reflection on what it might look like when we finally take back our society (like a look at the next revolution)? What exactly is Jay-z trying to say if anything?
