    More about "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" -
    The song was written by Mercury as a tribute to his musical heroes Elvis Presley and Sir Cliff Richard. Roger Taylor added in an interview that Mercury wrote it in just 10 minutes while lounging in a bath in the Bayerischer Hof Hotel in Munich during one of their extensive Munich recording sessions. Mercury took it to the studio shortly after writing it and presented it to Taylor and John Deacon. The three of them, with their then new producer Reinhold Mack, recorded it at Musicland Studios in Munich. The entire song was reportedly recorded in less than half an hour (although Mack says it was six hours). Having written "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" on guitar and played an acoustic rhythm guitar on the record, for the first time ever Mercury played guitar in concerts, for example at Live Aid at Wembley Stadium, London in 1985. Billboard Magazine described Brian May's guitar playing as being "stunning in its simplicity." May wanted to emulate Rick Nelson's and Presley's longtime guitarist James Burton, and at Macks's suggestion used a Fender Esquire rather than his regular Red Special for the recording session.

    Lyrics:
    This thing called love
    I just can't handle it
    This thing called love
    I must get 'round to it
    I ain't ready
    Crazy little thing called love
    This thing (this thing) called love (called love)
    It cries (like a baby), in a cradle all night
    It swings (woo), it jives (woo)
    Shakes all over like a jellyfish
    I kinda like it
    Crazy little thing called love
    There goes my baby
    She knows how to rock and roll
    She drives me crazy
    She gives me hot and cold fever
    She leaves me in a cool, cool sweat
    I gotta be cool, relax
    Get hip and get on my tracks
    Take a back seat, hitchhike
    And take a long ride on my motorbike
    Until I'm ready
    Crazy little thing called love
    Yeah
    I gotta be cool, relax
    Get hip and get on my tracks
    Take a back seat, hitchhike
    And take a long ride on my motorbike
    Until I'm ready (ready Freddie)
    Crazy little thing called love
    This thing called love
    I just can't handle it
    This thing called love
    I must get 'round to it
    I ain't ready
    Crazy little thing called love
    Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
    Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
    Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
    Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
    Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
    Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
    Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
    Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)

    If anyone ever needed a dictionary meaning of "next level" they just need watch this. There are so many technically brilliant guitarists on UA-cam these days but Nathaniel has just demonstrated to me what it is all about....................Actual bloody music!

  • @douggoransson5179
    @douggoransson5179 2 роки тому +26

    Just insanely great. Clearly, Nathaniel is wildly talented - but it also takes a lot of work and thought to work out an arrangement like that, no matter how talented you are. And that bit where he snapped his fingers with his right hand while his left worked the fingerboard? Wow.

  • @rockstarr9000
