yes mr. stark give me a fat beat to beat
my best it only makes sense that one of
the most well known bands of all time
would have a major impact on cinema and
television let's see that killer track
Queens music is obviously recognizable
and popular making them an ideal match
for movies and shows
[Music]
their enormous presence across a variety
of content is not only a testament to
the popularity of their music but also
their cherished spot within our culture
but what's interesting is that while
queens music shows up in an array of
projects it's often used in the same way
let's take a look at a few of the band's
most popular tunes and see how they
function within the works they accompany
one of Queens most film friendly songs
is surely under pressure the lyrics
discuss how the pressure of our everyday
lives can destroy us
but that love is a potential solution
movies don't use this song to
communicate mounting pressure but rather
a cathartic release or coming to terms
with oneself in world's great is dead
the song plays after Robin Williams's
character finally tells the truth about
his deceitful charade
[Music]
despite creating more pressure he is
finally free and it's kind of a funny
story the song serves as a device for
the main character to overcome his
insecurities and anxieties in this case
the song is a literal release I think
we'll go with a little Bohemian Rhapsody
gentlemen good call Bohemian Rhapsody is
definitely one of the Bands most
unconventional songs so it's only
fitting that the song would be used as a
soundtrack for rather unconventional
characters featuring an immense amount
of unusual harmonies the song itself is
an eccentric group effort which is why
it works perfectly for defining
eccentric groups but one of Queens
biggest hits is easily one of the most
recognizable songs of all time
mirroring real-life we will rock you as
a staple of sports movies as the song is
likely heard at every stadium around the
world but we will rock you is so
recognizable because of its iconic yet
extremely simple stomp stomp clap beat I
want to give the audience a song that
they can perform so what can I do the
beat is so easy to identify and perform
that movies and shows often have the
characters do a rendition of the song
themselves what's interesting about
these three clips is that the characters
find themselves unintentionally creating
their own versions of the classic song
this seems to be representative of we
will rock use enormous impact on our
culture and we will we will rock you
[Music]
while queens music is certainly a
popular choice
it doesn't make its usage any less
meaningful they are one of the few bands
with a legacy so substantial that their
music never ages and never ceases to
captivate us
[Applause]
