    “You’re My Best Friend” was written by the band’s bass player, John Deacon, who has also written their mega-hit “Another One Bites the Dust”. He composed this love song for his new wife, Veronica Tetzlaff, whom he married in January 1975, shortly before the album was recorded.
    John enjoyed a mostly quiet home life, particularly in the early days of Queen. He was very shy and quiet. It took a good deal of time before he worked up the nerve to bring the song to the band.
    John learned to play the electric piano for this song. Freddie normally played piano for Queen but gave a big fat “NO” when the band purchased a Wurlitzer electric piano. As Freddie said, “I refused to play that damn thing. It’s tiny and horrible and I don’t like them. Why play those when you have a lovely superb piano?”
    John said in a later interview, “Freddie didn’t like the electric piano, so I took it home and I started to learn on the electric piano and basically that’s the song that came out when I was learning to play piano. It was written on that instrument and it sounds best on that.”
    FYI - You're My Best Friend was used in an AT&T commercial and a PetSmart commercial showing a dachshund and his owner going into the kitchen for some breakfast with the song playing in the background.

  • @karenj3611
    @karenj3611 9 місяців тому +6

    Jay, you mentioned that piano. John Deacon had a very specific sound he wanted for this song and it included the electric keyboard. Freddie absolutely abhorred the idea when there was a beautiful grand piano to play. Freddie wouldn’t play the electric one so John taught himself to play it for this song

    And yes, Queen songs pop up in a LOT of commercials. There's even a running joke that it's illegal to make a commercial in the USA without a Queen song in it.
    Fun fact : the MV was shot in an old barn, and it retained a lot of very pungent smells from its former inhabitants. The guys were nit thrilled with that aspects of the experience. 😂

    Okay THIS will bring me back. An absolute classic. IMO this is John Deacon's best song, even if "Another One Bites the Dust" hit #1 on the charts. And Deacon played the electric piano on the record, too.
    One of the remarkable things about Queen is that ALL of them are top-drawer songwriters. I can't think of another group like that.
    (And the song has been all over popular culture, over a dozen films and TV shows. as well as the ads)
    How about some of Brian May's classic songs in the Queen Catalog?
    Brighton Rock -Brian invents a new guitar technique
    Now I'm Here- one of the best songs for Freddie interacting with the audience. Grab it live!
    Teo Torriate (Let us cling together)- some of the lyrics are in Japanese (Brian wrote while on tour), but pure beauty
    The Prophet's Song- Brian outdoes Bohemian Rhapsody at its own game. No, seriously, BR is the *simpler* song. Take that, Fred!
    And of course Freddie dazzles on the vocals on all of these. Enjoy!

    This song was actually written by John Deacon, their bass player. Its a good example of how this band melded talents together. Roger Taylor (drummer) has one of the best rock and roll voices in the business. Brian is ranked as one of the all-time best guitarists. And yet he sings very sweetly himself. Yes, Freddie was a phenom at vocals and piano, but together this band is absolute magic. Each one of them could break off and have a solid solo career (and they have), but they are at their best when they were together.

    Queen licenses their songs quite liberally. You've probably heard this in movies, TV, commercials whatever. You hear their amazing songs everywhere. Happy Birthday tomorrow, Freddie ♥(Sept 5) I think you'll have to do another song for Freddie's birthday. Maybe...You Take My Breath Away (live from Hyde Park), Play the Game, Save Me, Now I'm Here (all from Montreal).

    Some sad news to pass along. Gary Wright has passed away at the age of 80. You have reacted to his two big hits "Dream Weaver" and "Love is Alive". Before he went solo, Wright was part of a band called Spooky Tooth. As a tribute I hope you can react to the Beat Club performance of "That Was Only Yesterday". R.I.P.

    To really recognize how wonderful Brian May and Roger Taylor are please listen to to NO ONE LIKE YOU. It's the band's song to say goodbye to Freddie and was sung by both Brian and Roger. They still die their love their for Freddie at every live show. They are touring the US starting in October and even if they're not close to you it's not a concert to miss if you say you live Queen. Brian and Roger are both in their mid seventies and though are going strong they still have the world to tie before or if they ever come back to the US. Live him or hate him, Adam Lambert performing as their front man for 12 years is the reason that are still touring. Freddie is still a part of every Queen show.

    Great song by Queen's bassist, John Deacon. Queen has a LOT of great songs, and all four band members, Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, have written some great songs.
    Brian May, Queen's lead guitarist and resident astrophysicist, pretty much invented thrash metal with their song, "Stone Cold Crazy", that came out in 1974, I believe. Metallica did a cover, in fact. Roger Taylor, Queen's drummer, did a song on the same album called "Tenement Funster" which is just a rocking good tune.

    Harry Nilsson. There is so much of his music out there that’s amazing snd all over the map as well as far as style snd he kills them all. You gotta do a five gown that rabbit hole: gotta get up, spaceman, without you, without her, remember, lullaby in ragtime, blanket for a sail, let the good times roll, moonbeam song, 1941, driving along, cuddly toy, as time goes by. He goes from crooner to rocker and everywhere else. I think you’ve done one or two of his songs but he was called the American Beatle and was friends with John Lennon and ringo Starr. Cuz the Beatles were huge fans of his music and voice. He was a singer songwriter too.

  • @vernhoke7730

    Some may not remember or know every member of this band has written at least one number one hit.
    Freddie and Brian encouraged John to contribute on every record. He'd come up with something and say "I don't know if it's any good". Word was Freddie liked this song, but didn't like the keyboards, so John learned how to play and recorded it for the album.

  • @tjhunger8644
    @tjhunger8644 9 місяців тому +2

    "You're My Best Friend" was written by Queen's bassist John Deacon while he was at home on a keyboard. This was the first song Deacon wrote, and it was for his wife, Veronica Tetzlaff.
    In the recording, Deacon played a Fender Rhodes electric piano in addition to his bass guitar duties.
    Although it wasn't the band's biggest hit, "You're My Best Friend" remains one of Queen's most popular songs due to its catchy melody and universal, heartfelt lyrics.
    Interestingly, Deacon bought the electric piano specifically to compose this song. This was not usual for the band as Freddie Mercury was generally the one who played the keyboard.
    The song was released as single in 1976 and reached No. 7 in the UK Singles Chart and No. 16 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
    The song is also a favourite for wedding dances due to its romantic connotations.

    Funny story about this song, John Deacon wrote this for his wife. He used an organ that you can see him playing in the video. The reason John is playing is because Freddy refused to play it. Freddy argued that they had a grand piano and therefore there was no reason why he would give up on that to instead play an organ.
