Queen - Cool Cat | Reaction 

I love Cool Cat I don't know how anybody can say it's a bad song. I love the music and I love the vibe

Queen's "trash" is still better than some bands' best. I LOVE Cool Cat. That list is just an opinion, and everyone has opinions about Queen. Sure they've made a few sub-par tracks, most of which have been named in the list and are not my absolute favorites, but it's not going to make me love Queen any less for it, you know?

This track is off the "Hot Space" album and is the one song that Brian May and Roger Taylor refused to have anything to do with. So John Deacon played guitar and base and used a drum machine. Freddie's vocals were all done in falsetto, I personally love this track but a lot of people didn't.

That list is done by someone who has no appreciation for music and probably thinks the Spice Girls are the height of musical brilliance. Come on, laid back vibe, bass line that gets your hips swaying and Freddie's majestic vocals.

Some people didn’t like it when Queen did other genres, which to me was one of the great things about them. This is a good song that shows their talent.

I love this song...so cool, fun and funky.

Obviously the person who made that list has obviously never been in a car with the windows down on a hot summer day with a cool beer on a back road heading somewhere to flirt their ass off. This song is fire.

This is one of the most underrated songs that queen have ever made. Cool Cat is an amazing tune! Fair comment that the Hot Space wasnt great, but has anyone listened to this track while sitting on a beach? Give it a try! This track is a tune!!

Freddie and Queen were all about variety and not being one "typical" sound. What made them unique is 4 different people writing completely different types of songs independent of each other and then choosing which ones to develop further and put on the albums. They have said many times they don't want to repeat themseves or be pigeon-holed into a typical type of song. That is part of the reason some critics disliked them. Freddie was interested in doing it all, and a lot of people criticized them for their variety. I love this song and a lot of the "softer" songs. Variety is why they lasted so long and have stayed popular for decades. There is something for every taste

Cool Cat might be my favorite Queen song. Maybe second. My god it’s so damn good and the vocals are phenomenal.

One of my favourite Queen tracks, makes me feel soooo relaxed.

It's a FABULOUS SONG - Lyrics, music, mood, message. I'd love to have all 10 of those 'worst tracks' in one album/cd which I would continuously play.

This is not a bad song. Whoever wrote that list had their head on backwards! I'll be honest, body language and don't try suicide are an acquired taste at most, but aren't bad songs. Hot space is an album that doesn't deserve such a bad reputation, the music for Queen's part is just different. if you react to more from their Hot space album, I recommend to the live renditions of Action this day, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q8j7s4uwTx0.html calling all girls both live at Tokyo ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TD0viCPR3wc.html staying power and back chat both live at the bowl. I missed your Queen reactions. I hope to see more!

Yikes Cool Cat and Body Language are 2 of my favorites! Cool cat has a soulfulness to it. I don’t understand how anyone can hate it. Maybe they just didn’t like it coming from Queen because it wasn’t their usual sound but it was funky and his voice was like butter.

I always loved this song. I remember skating to this song!

Very underrated. Glad you reacted to this hidden gem from Hot Space.

I think you hit it! it sounded 'different" for Queen. (do they forget Freddie wrote lots of songs that didn't follow the Queen sound)? I like this, for the vocals, it's just that some of the lyrics make no sense to me.

I really like Rain Must Fall!!!

Cool Cat is definitely one of Queen’s best songs! A song doesn’t have to be intricate to be good… The magic of Queen is that they could do anything and keep surprising new fans who have no idea about their versatility! Just listen to this relaxing music and that angelic voice… Mmmm, exquisite!

Oh good grief - I'm wondering what type of music this person listens to.

Cool Cat is AMAZING!!!! One of the more requested songs by Fans! Don't ever listen to some idiot's comments. This is a layed back, moody, atmospheric song and incredible!

A lot of people panned this song and album (Hot Space) at the time because most Queen fans were more interested in Queen's more traditional "rock" sound. It also came out right in the middle of the anti-disco backlash, so putting out an album like this was really unfashionable at the time and I think that initial negative reaction has never totally gone away. And to be sure there are some songs on the album that aren't very good, but there are gems like Las Palabras de Amour. I can understand why John and Freddie wanted to go more this direction with the success of a song like Another One Bites the Dust, but it just was a miss at the time. I do think a good amount of people have re-examined this album and come around to appreciate songs like Cool Cat.

Great John and Freddie collaboration.

Cool Cat was sung by Freddie and the instruments all played by John Deacon. It’s a funky song.

That is why they called Queen all the musical tastes that harmonize with their music and give a wonderful musical scene.👍

A lot of the songs on that list are definitely not the best in Queen’s catalog.....the exceptions being Cool Cat (Freddie’s falsetto is amazing ), Don’t Try Suicide and Machines. They performed Machines in concert this summer.... like many of their songs it was great live. One of the things that makes Queen’s music so awesome is that no two songs sound the same. Btw Earth Wind and Fire is awesome too... one of my all time favorites 😆

Cool cat is not one of my favourites, but I don't think it's bad, just not my thing. However, I would love to see you react to White Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975. It has an amazing instrumental in it with Freddies piano and Brians guitar that I think you'll appreciate. Always sends shivers down my spine.

This song was by Freddie and Deaky. Brian and Rog weren’t in on this track. So for me just the two of them this song is amazing. However one man’s meat is another man’s poison.

Interesting to note that this was mainly John Deacon's idea and creation! He and Freddie both wrote the lyrics and Freddie played the electric keyboard, but all of the other elements were played by John (who could play basically anything, not just bass). I think he and Freddie were just experimenting and they wanted to try Freddie singing in falsetto, which he clearly could do (as you said, showing off his absolutely insane 4-octave vocal range). This song originally had David Bowie on backing vocals, but I guess he wasn't happy with them last minute and asked for them to be removed before the album's release. There was a lot of negativity around the album Hot Space as a whole (where this song was from), because it was a huge deviation in sound for Queen and fans didn't want or expect that (sort of dance club disco-y), so it went down poorly. Under Pressure is from Hot Space though, which was a huge, huge single, so it wasn't a total failure! There's a few beautiful songs on there as well, including a tribute to John Lennon. I think Hot Space gained back some popularity and love over the years and has aged well.

They were wrong this is a great song. When bohemian rhapsody first came out they thought this song was going to be a flop too but look how that came out. R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU

Cool cat is one of the best songs from queen, reason why a lot of people didn’t like it is because it has a mixture of pop and disco. And Queen was mainly known for their British rock style mix with harmony and different sounds. I will probably agree with the list but not in a bad way. All of their songs are great, and if you love music, you have to love Queen because they had everything that music has to offer.

Cool Cat is such a great song, love it. Brian and Roger didn't like it. John Deacon did, so Freddie and John did it together. I wonder who wrote that article???

This is MY FAVORITE QUEEN SONG… and yes! It’s just like one of those fantastic Motown sounds of the 60s 70s 80s. LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE IT! Freddie in all his Aretha The Queen tunes. 😍🥰😘🥰😍🥰😘🥰😍😍🥰😘🥰😍

Guys just to make one thing clear. These aren’t bad or worst songs, they are just very underrated and Freddie is a Legand so None of his songs are bad. We love you Freddie

Sit on a beach in the Mediterranean, the sun going down, beer in your hand.... .and have this tune in your ears!! Then you'll know this song is and absolute tune!!

I love cool cat...😊💙💚❤💜💛

I always hope Lenny Kravitz would remake this song - would be awesome.

One of my favorite tracks. Cool cat.

I actually agree with a few of the songs on that list (like Delilah), but totally disagree with some. I definitely disagree about Cool Cat. I think it's a great song.

While Delilah isn't a great song I will never say anything negative about it. Freddie wrote Delilah his favorite cat while he was dying.

Freddie's vocals are incredible in this one

Somebody was trippin off the fact that this wasn’t a typical rock song. I’m old enough to remember when this song was released. There were two interesting things about it’s release … 1) Folks was debating what female artists sang the song 2) This was I believe one of Queen’s two songs that got heavy air play on the R&B stations. The other song being Another One Bites The Dust.

This is one of the best songs from Queen

Not their best, but I like it, the jazzy sound & Freddie's fabulous vocals.

This is around the time john deacon was hanging in the studio with chic. He got the bass line for under pressure from "good times" which is on the same album as cool cat

I'm gonna be honest, the first time I heard this song, I really didn't get into it. But then I listened to it again and I LOVED it! I really don't think Queen has a "worst" song, I prefer some songs over others but, I haven't really found one that I fully don't like. Everyone hates on Cool Cat, and even the entire Hot Space album and I don't know why?! It's different but, Queen never really stuck to one style anyways.

I actually like this song♥️ Delilah is Freddie’s cat & it’s awful. 🙀🙀Have you done Back Chat is funky like Cool Cat. In the Lap of the Gods live at the Rainbow 1974💥 Need to do Rogers song Old Friends the video. It’s a tribute to Freddie🔥🔥

Delilah is one Freddie’s cats. He loved his family, his cats

The bassist John Deacon is criminally underrated and he played all the instruments in this

Cool Cat is the second greatest hidden gems in their catalog, the first is " White Queen " Odeon Hammersmith 1975 Live. As far of the others you mentioned..... never heard of them and I've been loving Queen since 1974, silly me 🌈👑💙🫶

Some of the rock crowd hated disco with a stupid passion. And this is a beautiful, clean disco track. And Freddie displaying a falsetto better than the BeeGees. I LOVE this song.

Love Cool Cat 🐈 the rest of the list I might agree as not their best except Delilah which I think is fun (Freddie wrote it about his cat Delilah). Freddie has an amazing range, love to hear his voice ❤️Freddie❤️

You got it in one. Cool cat is from the Hot Space album, which a lot of people don't like because it's different then their 'usual' sound (as if Queen actually has a usual sound!). I personally like Cool Cat, not my favourite but its not awful! ( :

It's different, it just shows how many different things queen can do

Also I see a trend in that list of Freddie’s lesser known falsetto tracks, namely Cool Cat and Pain Is So Close To Pleasure (my favorite obscure track) and am surprised they did not include Don’t Try So Hard.

Queens catalog is huge. You need to hit there live stuff all of it is incredible

Cool cat is like my favorite queen song

I love this song...so different yet great vocals.

This is ol skool RnB..Queen style!

It is a most brilliant record, is just many peoples hating on cats.

Queen music was eclectic so there are songs for everybody. I like Cool Cat.

Absolutely NOT the worst Queen song I've heard. It has a "funky" edge to it which grabbed my attention. I first heard it about 4 years ago and couldn't get enough of it. I played it over and over again for about a year straight! My all-time favorite: Another One Bites the Dust. Another song I'm a big fan of is "Tie Your Mother Down". It's a song from their 1976 "A Day At the Races" album. I don't particularly care for the album version of this song. The absolute best version is when they performed at Wembley Stadium during their 1986 Magic Tour. The most surprisingly liked Queen song: "New York, New York" whick was recorded for the 1985 film "Highlander" but never made onto the soundtrack. There are others favorites but the ones I've mentioned come quickly to mind. Thanks for the video!

This song is a funky Motown song. Some people don't like it because they don't like the genre. This is a good song, it just isn't a prog rock song. Queen did a lot of different genres. Usually when people don't like some of their songs it is because of the genre, more then the actual song. They have a very diverse catalog.

My favourite Queen song, falsetto & bass all the way

Just when you thought you’ve heard it all. Queen is the shit.

Cool Cat was all Freddie singing falsetto - which I kind of love... no prob for me..

Whole album is severely underrated. People just need to stop expecting the full Queen sound when it’s just John and Freddie 🤷

Whether someone dislikes or loves a Queen song is immaterial. Everything they did was Craftsman-like. Great groove in this song, and Freddie was his usual unbelievable self. Not my favorite track, but still impressive and has a great vibe

I love Cool Cat. This is one of the best from Queen!

I think freddie was out of his time, ppl then wasnt still like that kind of a sound, there is a song you dont full me and that is so so diferent like this one, and for me they are perfect... especialy you dont full me, i love it

Person:Can you remove the song Del- Freddie: *no.*

I really like Cool Cat. Love the mellow jazzy beat and of course Freddie's incredible falsetto. This one's just for fun. Anyone who picks this as worst must be a grumpy person. I also love Delilah because Freddie wrote it about his beloved cat and that makes it special to me. I feel his heart in it.

only song I regularly listen to by Queen....

That list is BS, those are all good Queen songs except maybe Machines. Don’t Try Suicide is actually pretty much a masterpiece.

I still can't believe such article is a thing...omG people are so different huh?! The idea of one not enjoying their songs is just unfathomable to me! Cool cat is awesome! My favorite song of HS along with Soul brother,yep,I have a thing for the b-sides! Cool cat is groovy,smooth,and the bass? Perfection! S2

I like this song. I would not consider it the worst or even one of the weakest. I feel that the worst they got (which IMO is Body language) is just bad. It’s not garbage or awful or a disgrace or anything like that. They, thankfully, never got that low

This is my jam! Whenever im anxious or irritated I put this song on and drive my car and its all better! That list you read might of made some since if 10 was the worst. Delilah is not that good. But funny. I guess out of their 150ish odd songs some of them have to be at the bottom. But how can you not get into that groove! And Freddie singing in falsetto is amazing!

I'm with you . . . sound relaxing to me. Listen to that bass (yea John). Loving Freddie's uninterrupted falsetto. WOW. My first time hearing it, in fact hearing about it. But when this is over I'll find it uninterrupted to totally absorb. Yes, their work is The Best so the worst would be good with out a doubt. Appreciate the attention you gave to Cool Cat.

I love this song, it give me positive vibes.

Cool cat is so special This song is killing me

A lot of people were bummed by the whole Hot Space album. It was the first time they’d used synthesisers after years of making a point of not using them. But I love the album and this song is a good one. I think most of the rest of the top 10 are ‘post Live Aid’ Queen which can’t be said to be their best period, even though the singles remained strong at least.

🙋🏾‍♀️ This song rivals any Switch (with Bobby as lead) and/or Debarge (with El as lead) songs with the falsettos Freddie used to sing the song. I would've loved to have heard him sing this live. He likely didn't 'cos of his pesty nodules that gave him a devil of a time singing live...especially on stacked concert dates. I wouldn't go as far as to say he sang falsetto like Philip Bailey of Earth Wind & Fire though. Their song "Staying Power" had that horn sound derived from synthesizers very much like the real horn sounds of Switch, Earth Wind, & Fire, James Brown, Rick James, and the OHIO Players! BOTH Deacy and Freddie aka Deacury were huge R'NB/Funk/Dance fans. Deacy hung out with Nile Rodgers of Chic fame and you absolutely can hear his influences on Deacy with the "Another One Bite the Dust" and subsequent Hot Space project. That LP was basically Deacury's on one side and Maylor's (May/Taylor) on the other. There were a lot of good songs from Hot Space with "Under Pressure" and "Body Language" being the major ones here in the States at that time, despite "Body Language" video getting band on MTV. The band was really stupid and unfounded...but MTV wanted Queen to do a simple playback video of the song and of course, in true Mercury fashion, was told to take it as is or fuck on off LOL which started the war btw them and MTV refused to play "I Want to Break Free" as well. They cited that middle America wouldn't go for it but we all know better than that. It was 'bout THEM wanting to control artists and their creativity, so ~ The main problem with Hot Space was that it came out just as ppl were putting disco down and they'd just missed that window of opportunity. Had they'd tried dance/funk in the late 70's, they'd likely would've gotten away with it like other rockets did like the Stones & Rod Stewart did.

This song should be In Guardians of the galaxy 3

I think I could literally punch the person who says this song is bad.. just for his own good and put his ideas back in place

This is so ahead of their time that's why

what the fuck??????? cool cat in first and rain must fall in second????? both amazing and fun songs which had amazing instrumental and freddies vocals

Btw i never saw reaction on you dont full me i dunno why, ill start to think that im the only one who love that song

Is a great tune. Put your headphones on and enjoy it. It doesn´t matter all the fuss with bad reviews. *Check this extended version (David Bowie rip on vocals)* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ew9AhDslXJw.html By the way, that channel *DJDiscoCat* is very well recommended.

I think the reason this is rated low is it not Rock and Roll. It is Jazz. If you look at it as Jazz it tells a different tale.

As a Queen fan since 73. I LOVE this track. Always have. It is a kinda love/hate track though.

Half of that list are great songs. Body Language is probably top 3 favorite for me. Delilah is about Freddie’s favorite cat. It’s not suppose to be a serious song. Some fans are idiots. You should listen to the entire list.

Not agreed to this..you cant go wrong with queen..Become my fave song the minute i heard it...that article don't know how to appreciate how versatile freddie was..so coool good vibes..funky rnb type..anazing falsetto..hidden gems...great bass too of john..

Cool Cat is actually my favorite Queen song

it would be interesting to see you react to "body language". a lot of people hate that one but i love it! i like this song too so it just goes to show that queen's "bad" songs weren't actually bad.

That's the cost of presumption.. Thank god I didn't hear any kind of reviews before hearing this song.. And everything I heard after didn't really matter.. Coz it's a genius song.. Tell me which other rock band would take the risk of making a whole song in falsetto..

Love this song

There are some gems in that worst list. How dare they desecrate Delilah. That was a tribute to Freddie’s cat!

I love The Hot Space Album... even though queen fans hated it...I can't help but to dance to Back Chat

Queen doesn't have bad music bro 😂 period. Peace 👍

Cool Cat is amazing!
