Queen, a British rock band known worldwide.

By continuing their world tour with a new member, their classic songs are still alive today.

From among Queen’s masterpieces, let us introduce “Spread Your Wings.” Why not try singing, in a cool way, that feeling of wanting to just fly away somewhere?

Cool CatQueen

Queen – Cool Cat (Official Lyric Video)

The legendary British rock band Queen showcased a cat-themed song on their 1982 album Hot Space, a work that symbolizes the band’s musical adventurousness.

Co-written by Freddie Mercury and John Deacon, the track boldly departs from their traditional rock sound, resulting in a distinctive blend that incorporates elements of soul and funk.

Mercury’s smooth, fully falsetto vocals and Deacon’s slap bass create an impressively groovy sound.

In 2023, it was featured in an Amazon Prime commercial, bringing renewed attention to the song.

It’s a recommended track for those looking to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere or to savor Queen’s diverse musical range.

Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody (Official Video Remastered)

This is another famous classic by Queen.

The first half has a ballad feel, and the second half is more rock-like, so you can enjoy different moods within a single song.

Since it’s well-known, it’s a track that people will enjoy at karaoke no matter who you go with.

For those who want to buckle down and finish studying in a flash, I’d like to recommend Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” It’s not a heavy rock song, but Freddie Mercury’s powerful vocals can sound like a rousing pep talk, making you think, “I’ve got to do this!”

Greatest HitsQueen

Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody (Official Video Remastered)

Greatest Hits is a best-of album by the British rock band Queen, released in 1981.

The album compiles Queen’s hit songs released between 1974’s Seven Seas of Rhye and 1980’s Flash, and in some countries it also includes the collaboration track Under Pressure with David Bowie.

With sales of over 25 million copies, it is Queen’s best-selling album and one of the best-selling albums of all time.

Distilling the essence of Queen’s appeal, this album is an excellent introduction to Western pop and rock music.

This is a commercial promoting that with Google’s hot smartphone, the Pixel 3, you can take beautiful photos in low light without using a flash.

In a nod to the “flash” theme, Queen’s Flash theme is used.

The track showcases Queen’s greatest appeal—the fusion of rock with sounds reminiscent of musicals and classical music—and its high level of polish is simply outstanding.
