I'd like to introduce you to, to an unsung hero, who has been helping us out for very many years and I have no idea what we would do without him, on keyboards, Mr Spike Edney. This thing called love I just cant handle it Meat: This thing called love I must get round to it Brit: I aint ready Both: Crazy little thing called love Meat: This thing (this thing) Called love (called love) It cries (like a baby) In a cradle all night Brit: It swings (woo woo) It jives (woo woo) It shakes all over like a jelly fish Both: I. Mercury solos again at the end of the song with a loose vocal reference to Duke Ellington’s ‘It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)’.There goes my baby She knows how to rock 'n' roll She drives me crazy She gives me hot and cold fever And break out in cool, cool sweat I gotta be cool, relax, get hip Oooh, get on my tracks Take a back seat, hitch hike And take a long ride on my motorbike Until I'm ready Crazy little thing called love Ooh, yeah Gotta be cool, relax, get hip And get on my tracks Take a back seat, hitch hike Take a long ride on my motorbike Until I'm ready (ready Freddie) Until I'm ready (ready Freddie) Until I'm ready (ready Freddie) Crazy little thing called love This thing called love, ooh baby you know Ma I just can't handle it This thing called love I just must get round to it I kinda like it (oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh) Crazy little thing called love (oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh) Crazy little thing called love (oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh) Crazy little thing called love (oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh) It's crazy, crazy (Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah) Crazy little thing called love (crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah) Crazy little thing called love (crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah) Crazy little thing called love (crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah) Crazy little thing called love (crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah) Alright Oooh, yeah Oooh, yeah, baby Ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh, love Brian: Robert Plant, thank you.

It is a driving, high spirited and fearless vocal solo. Here, he employs scat singing and the opening syncopated repetition of a single note hints at Ella Fitzgerald’s influence. Mercury demonstrated his versatility, genre crossing and creative exploration on the 1985 song ‘Living On My Own’. His vocal timbre could depict a delicate vulnerability, especially with his falsetto, or use dynamic extremes to accentuate lyrics with screams and growls.Īlso read: Adele ‘30’: The Psychology of Why Sad Songs Make Us Feel Good Strong musicianship, excellent pitch and vocal control enabled Mercury to draw on a broad array of note choices, dynamics, tone colours and vocal effects. A lyric rock tenor with over three octaves in range, Mercury could belt into his upper register with his signature fast vibrato, or use a controlled pure falsetto with smooth legato phrasing. Technically masterful, Mercury possessed a voice that was powerful, agile, and highly expressive.
