After several attempts at becoming successful with other bands and as a solo artist, he formed the now legendary band Queen in 1971. Since then Queen’s hits have defi ned entire generations. Thijs Oud has created an excellent arrangement of a Queen-classic, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, that is sure to be a guaranteed smash hit!
Freddie Mercury, geboren 1946 auf Sansibar als Frederick Bulsara, gründete 1971, nach einigen Versuchen bei anderen Bands und als Solokünstler, die erfolgreiche Formation Queen. Die Hits von Queen haben ganze Generationen geprägt; viele Lieder sind neu aufgenommen und bearbeitet worden. So ist der Klassiker Crazy Little Thing Called Love in einem spritzigen Arrangement von Thijs Oud ein beliebter Titel für jedes Sommerkonzertrepertoire mit hohem Unterhaltungs- und Wiedererkennungswert.
Freddie Mercury avoua avoir composé Crazy Little Thing Called Love alors qu’il prenait son bain dans un hôtel Munich. Cela ne lui prit que 5 minutes pour réaliser les partitions de chaque instrument et le texte. Le génie, cela ne s’explique décidément pas... La chanson, écrite dans un style très rockabilly et chantée la manière d'Elvis Presley off rira au groupe son premier n° 1 aux États-Unis.
Scritta da Freddie Mercury e pubblicata nel primo disco degli anni ottanta The Game, la canzone ha raggiunto la testa delle classifi che di tante nazioni tra cui Australia e USA. Come riportato da un’intervista del 1981, Mercury impiegò solo 10 minuti a creare gli accordi da solo, mentre la registrazione avvenne in mezz’ora solamente perché Mercury curò personalmente gli arrangiamenti per tutti i componenti della band.
