00:00 You probably know this one.
00:01 This song was written specifically to make people sing
00:13 because before, during concerts, people didn't sing.
00:16 I'm not kidding.
00:16 We're in the 70s, Queen is exploding in the world
00:19 and they're doing big concerts.
00:21 And at the time, when rock bands were doing concerts,
00:23 people were moving their heads, jumping a bit,
00:26 but people weren't singing.
00:27 But during Queen's concerts, Brian May realized
00:29 that people were singing, and even finishing the songs
00:31 by singing the lyrics very loudly.
00:33 At first, his reaction was like
00:35 "Did we do something wrong?
00:37 Why isn't the audience moving?"
00:38 One night, they were finishing their show
00:40 and when they left the stage, Brian May heard the crowd
00:42 screaming in one voice, one of their songs.
00:43 And that's when he thought
00:45 "Well, it might be weird, but in reality, it's very cool."
00:47 It means that people appreciate us so much
00:49 that they sing and there's a real enthusiasm.
00:51 So he thinks, he sleeps,
00:52 and he ends up dreaming of a song
00:54 that people could participate in,
00:56 during which everyone could sing,
00:58 clap their hands and clap their feet.
00:59 Et c'est ainsi qu'aînés we will rock you.
