![]() ![]() Apropos of pretty much nothing, when I was in high school, I made a mix tape to listen to on my Walkman while I was warming up before races, and Rock It (Prime Jive) was on that cassette, but this song wasn't.Įven though this was one of the band's biggest hits (as one of only two Queen songs that reached #1 on the Billboard charts), this song just feels out of place to me, and doesn't really sound like it should be a Queen song. ![]() The only song that competes with it for the bottom spot is Don't Try Suicide, a song that was way too blatantly didactic to be all that good. I played that cassette until the tape stretched and Freddie Mercury's voice on Play the Game sounded decidedly off-key, and to be perfectly honest, Crazy Little Thing Called Love is probably my least favorite song on the the album. I had it on cassette tape, which seemed perfectly reasonable at the time. The Game was the first (and for a long time only) Queen album I owned. Given that I am a far crappier guitarist than Mercury was, I suppose that everyone should be expecting my hit record soon. In other words, because he is a crappy guitarist, Mercury wrote a better song. Freddie Mercury reportedly wrote this song in about ten minutes and credits the fact that he is not a very good guitar player for it being as good as it is. Sometimes greatness occurs quickly and from odd sources. ![]() #1 on the Cash Box Top 100: Februthrough March 8, 1980. #1 on the Billboard Hot 100: Februthrough March 15, 1980. ![]()
