Rock 'n' Roll Rabbit Hole

Listen Later

And we're back for Season 2! To kick things off, we're tackling a two-fer, the double A-side single from the amazing Queen, "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions." We talk about the songs' historic status as a double-single, why they are so frequently played back-to-back, their statuses as sports anthems and what inspired the tunes for songwriters Brian May and Freddie Mercury, respectively. A few notes:

  • Beer of the Week is Jai Alai IPA by Cigar City Brewing
  • An odd occurrence at a Queen concert in 1977 led to these two songs
  • A couple of personal stories about our first time hearing these timeless tunes
  • We plan to have guests on a few upcoming episodes
  • Kevin's dog made too much noise during recording
