We got together over the weekend to record this one, and as we were learning it, we couldn't help but flip out at the songwriting and harmonic changes. We kept looking at each other and saying "Fucking Freddie!!" We all know it's a great song, but learning the chords brings it into a whole new light. There are two (not one, but TWO) key changes in the verse, and the chorus modulates up a whole step -- and somehow, Freddie makes the whole thing feel effortless and and natural. We all just sing along. As if it makes total sense.... and all that complexity boils away leaving a fucking awesome pop song. Freddie, you are a historic songwriter! Your genius will be known for generations. Thanks for all you've given us.
This is great.
Wow!! I wonder why I have always disliked this song because, in my mind, it sounds _too banal_. I am not a musician but I usually like chords and progressions that are unusual. It is amazing that this sounds to my uneducated ears simple and unoriginal in spite of being, as I understand now, quite the contrary.
All in all, I still don't like the song, even in your arrangement - but now I have no idea why. Taste is a weird thing.
Perhaps the hardest thing about writing music that isn't just 4-5-6-1 is making anything outside of that sound natural. Good call on this being an unusual progression. Voice leading is where it's at.
Meanwhile looking for the best songs to cover, keep on training on ur neck muscles guys!
You guys FUNK!
I will never forget playing We Are The Champions for the first time on the ukulele. My best description is I melted. This is a really great cover as usual
We've all heard this song a bazillion times❤ . So much so that I don't listen to it anymore. I wanted to experience it again and went looking for a different version, arrangement, style, whatever you call it, and this version is it! Thank you!😊
It's awesome to see musicians "feeling" the music, not just playing it...... awesome guys ;)
Sarah is killing the mic control!!!!!!!!!!! You guys are all the real deal and funky as ever. Keep it up! We love it!
Damn right! Someone please teach her to push the mic away while screaming!!! Totally vibe killer....
Sweet !!
What a voice. What a shirt.
great hair too
Matt Good awful shirt :/, great voice :)
Matt Good she makes me think of my latin teacher but I'm in love
I wanna pet that kitty.
3D SHIRT
love the keyboard player in every song. he loves every second
me too
He's jack Conte, founder of this band, patreon
Simply all of you are "the champions", thank you very much and special mention for the voice of this queen!!!! Congrats for your enormous and talented work!
I got the same shivers down my spine as when I watched the concert video of Queen at Wembley in '86. I think Freddie would have been proud to hear this. Well done.
And for ANY singer to take Freddie's spot AND do it well? RESPECT.
I love how ryan and jack exchange regarding the amazing voice of Sarah, feels so alive, its like they never have ever heard her voice. Way to go guys and girls!
I wish evey bass player was like this one
Joseph Ngo it would be quite a boring world.i mean he's crazy good but...everyone sounding the same?come oooon
@@phlabass hahahahaha crazy good...hahahahaha i love that joke
Leeasin to de Vulfpeck.
Sam Wilkes is a damn Genious. Check his work with Knower. And Louis Cole its incredible
you’ll be able to be with one if you can be a singer/guitarist/drummer/keyboard player like these ones
Before I never liked The Queen, but now I started learning with this number alsoo in my style, loved it!!!!
This might just be the best SP cover. Certainly a top 5 vocal performance on any of their tunes
I was surprised and happy to see Sam Wilkes playing with KNOWER on a recent video of theirs. He's bloody everywhere.
This. Voice!!!
First time I’ve ever heard a group do this song any measure of justice. And you guys killed it!
I did not know what to expect when I saw Queen and Funk!!! Bravo!! I love it!
As someone who is currently trying to learn how to play one or two instruments, sometimes I find myself getting mad over chords I can not manage to play or solos that do not sound as I expected. At those moments, music is to me nothing more than repetition, effort and a lot of hard work. But watching you guys, I remember that music is actually all about passion and fun. I hope I get to, one day, be as talented a musician as you are! Thank you for producing such great videos, thank you for putting your music online for the world to hear and thank you for having fun with us. Greetings from Brazil 💚💛
Her voice is very unique...i love it
crying over that look the bassist gives the guitarist at 1:06 its so quick, its so subtle, but i miss having that chemistry with another musician. (AKA Find another musician that glances at you for a split second like sam wilkes does)
Laura Mace and Sarah Dugas ALWAYS conquer my Heart!
You are champions!Great!
Every day when i don't manage to listen to this is a sad day, the best thing i have ever seen on youtube. Morbid I know but this will be my funeral song!!
As a huge Queen fan I thought I'd absolutely hate this. The biggest credit I can give to you is that I absolutely loved it! Amazing!
That bass player is so
Jorn Lavoll
He has a funkin style
One of the 3 best covers you'd made. Simply perfect.
The song helps,its awesome.
this is the BEST scary pockets cover of any kind.
This was so perfectly made, btw I still really want to see a video of every band member being introduced please!!!
Loving the vocals and a strong Stevie Wonder kind of vibe. This has me tapping my feet and nodding my head :)
I personally knew I was a champion, didn't know until today phenomenal music still exists.
I like how Ryan moves!!!
Jack and Sam always look like they're having the time of their lives
i love Napoleon Dynamite on Bass. Always on the grove.
The drum tone is spectacular, as is the drummer's restraint.
okay now im addicted to funk!!!!!!!
I am addicted to Scary Pockets.
I can't stop watching one by one......
Great performance, everyone! I could not have imagined a funk version of this stadium rock classic, but you kids really brought the heat and the swing. Sarah's vocals are especially impressive. Really beautiful guitar (and cool licks), Ryan.
How is Sarah Dugas even possible? It should be illegal to be this awesome. The whole band here.
Real talent.
What the heck?? Soooooo good! Wow! Amazing!
My word!!!+ What a incredible voive🎉
Wow!
I agree. I don't know how Freddie came up with the chord progression (especially in the chorus). It's original/never been done before. He is a genius and one of my favorite songwriters since I was very young. I have a cover of this song (just me and a piano)... I tried my best to learn it by ear and would like to know what people think.
It just struck me -- for younger Boomers and Gen-Xrs, this song did for us what Sinatra's "I Did It My Way" did for my parents' generation. It's likely Freddie had that Sinatra in mind when he wrote this. Anyway, Sarah does an amazing job with voice and mic interaction and dynamic control -- forceful and understated at the same time, a feat.
To be honest, I don't find any of the chords in this song difficult / complicated. It's like with any other song; it's either catchy or not catchy, original or not. Obviously it's very original (not the typical G-C-D / C-Am-F-G), but it's not a difficult song to learn
I love it
Love this bassist that was also featured in the band Knower's videos as well, IIRC.
Oh Jack, squirming and grinning with enjoyment, you are the luckiest of men: to get to do well what you so obviously love.
WOW! WOW! Did I mention, WOW? Everyone is amazing. Love the singer's voice. This channel is amazing.
Sarah Dugas 🧡
those backing vocals add so much to this track
love love love
MY FAVOURITE CHANNEL!
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
'Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
The whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
'Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world

'Till the end
We are the champions
