It’s a perfect example of Queen’s ability to create anthems that are both sophisticated and accessible.

“We Will Rock You” transcended the realm of music, becoming a rallying cry for sporting events, political rallies, and any situation where a surge of collective energy is needed.

Buddy you’re a boy make a big noise
Playin’ in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo’ face
