February Love Song #24

FEBRUARY LOVE SONG #24

Queen "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"





I'm sure most people would recognize Queen for a few other more famous hits. However, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was actually on top of the US charts for a period of time in the early 1980s. According to Genius, it's a tribute to Elvis Presley and the "Rockabilly" era of rock and roll. The chords and the feel of the rhythm certainly reflect that. Based on the lyrics, the narrator of this song has this girl that he has feelings for. He's convinced himself he's just not ready for it yet, "hitchin' a ride on his motorbike until he's ready for it." The title is most appropriate because love is crazy in the sense that it can come out of nowhere and make us do lots of things we may never thought we would. Enjoy this hit track from the 80s!
