Weekend Wildcard - Killer Queen by Queen

This Weekend's Wildcard is Killer Queen by Queen. This is off of their 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack. This was Queen's first breakthrough hit that launched them into the mainstream.

Freddy wrote the lyrics to this track before the melody whereas he would normally do the opposite. The song was first recorded without guitarist Brian May who was in the hospital recovering from a stomach ulcer. The band left gaps in the recordings where May eventually filled in with guitar tracks. I've always loved this song because it is fun, unique, and well composed. 

RIP Freddy!
