It’s usually every song they react to! It makes me lose faith in the young people who will be in charge of music. If it’s not Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jonas brothers they have no clue.
Victor Fernandez // Bigdestroyer Everybody has to know who they are...they have released many classic songs and Freddie Mercury is one of the greatest singers of all time
well, i can forgive them, but only because of their reactions after they find out its queen and you see that "DOH" moment in their eyes, knowing they knew it. ;) Nah, its ok, i can understand it with this song and with "we are the champions" because those songs are all over the world of sports. and in sports, they dont usually say what songs are used :)
i'm only a few years older than some of these reactors and i'm shocked not many of them knew Queen or Wham. I guess being a British kid, we were raised on the music of Freddie Mercury and George Michael
That and Last Christmas is the only Wham! song i Know...or even George Michael song. But another one bites the dust for me was the opposite, I was like it's Queen, I know this song...But what is the title? Ya know until Freddie sung it...
I have list for episode 10: Africa - Toto Every Breath You Take - The Police One - Metallica Shout - Tears For Fears Is This Love? - Whitesnake In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins And Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) - Pink Floyd
It's scary how cultural touchstones become fade away and become irrelevant, isn't it? I worked with a 17 year old lad about a year ago who was genuinely surprised that Madonna had a career before Ray of Light when Material Girl came on the radio. Made me feel a million, billion years old!
Freddie Mercury would be proud af that Queen's music is still recognized all around the worlds even by kids (watch the Kids React to Queen if you haven't: priceless).
Thanks for the information about the drummer of def leppard lost one of his arms. Usually you don't recognize this fact in Videos. They stopped tours till he was ready for Comeback. That's friendship!!!
Interesting bit of trivia: singing "Another One Bites the Dust" to yourself will help you keep proper count when performing CPR. "Stayin' Alive" also works, and is more advisable if you're doing it out loud where people can hear you.
A bit of trivia, in the time it took for Def Leppard's drummer to recover from the accident, and learn to drum with his foot, Wham became popular and then split up. Also, I remember seeing the first concert Def Leppard played in support of their Hysteria album, and they'd tease the drummer by offering him a beer...to the side missing the arm. You know those are good friends 😏
It can happen lol I mean maybe it's because I'm really into music now but there were only a handful I grew up listening to (my parents listened to mainly funk, soul, and 70s music other than classical and the occasional classic rock from the 60s).
I asked for more 80's songs and you did it. Thanks. Now for more 80's education you can do more 80's icons: Huey Lewis, Thompson Twins, Howard Jones, Tears for Fears, UB 40, Wang Chung, etc..
I can't believe you guys haven't played Culture Club yet. Suggestions: Debbie Gibson - Only in My Dreams (1987) Yello - Oh Yeah (1985) Bryan Adams - Summer of '69 (1985) The Pointer Sisters - He's So Shy (1980) Culture Club - Do You Really Want to Hurt Me (1982) Zapp - More Bounce to the Ounce (1980) Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now (1987) Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five - The Message (1982)
I wass born in 89 and I sadly grew up with half of these songs (and I am a U2 and Queen fan). I laughed at the Album invasion U2 did years ago on the iPhones though.
