Under Pressure is one of the best music songs ever written.

I don't think it took all that well when it was originally released. It was ahead of its time and has aged well over time.

It's a quality song...the only thing is way too many fucking Hollywood films have used it on soundtracks.

My dream is to find my Freddy Mercury and OWN that song in some karaoke..

I like that song too. Also from a structural standpoint Seep Up by Dave Mathews Band is very solid. I know you're all DMB haters, but have a listen to this version.

Recently I heard a chick do Killer Queen at a bar and she didn't even have the range to do it right. She sang it in a really low tone for some reason. It's Mercury maaaan, not Barry White.


Fuck her. For real.

A buddy of mine does a pretty serious "Fat-Bottomed Girls", but that's not really some crazy-ass Mercury.

I'm talkin this stuff:

but have you considered it from a post-structural standpoint?

In many ways under pressure can never stand for itself for it is in constant dichotomy with its musical successor---Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby." Because things can only exist in opposition with its negative and, as the erstwhile rapper pointed out in a later interview, "Theirs goes ding ding ding diggy ding ding.....ours goes ding ding ding diggy ding ding DING" we can clearly see that this song must now be defined by its lacking of the ultimate ding. Thereby the last ding in the Under Pressure riff becomes the penultimate ding to a ding that never comes. The song itself can only be defined by what it is not
