Crazy Little Thing Called Love

"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Queen is a lively rockabilly song originally released in 1979. It was written by the band's lead vocalist, Freddie Mercury, who was inspired by Elvis Presley's music. The song marks a departure from Queen's usual style, showcasing a more straightforward rock and roll sound. An interesting fact about the song is that Mercury reportedly composed it while taking a bath in just 10 minutes. The melody features catchy guitar riffs and a bouncy rhythm, contributing to its enduring popularity and widespread appeal.
