Crazy Little Thing Called Love / We Will Rock You

Crazy Little Thing Called Love / We Will Rock You is a vinyl single by the British rock band Queen, released in 1979. It showcases two distinct facets of the band's musical output, ranging from playful rockabilly to high-energy, concert-style rock.

The A-side features Crazy Little Thing Called Love, a song written by Freddie Mercury and inspired by 1950s rock 'n' roll and the style of Elvis Presley. The track is notable for its straightforward guitar rhythm, memorable melody, and Mercury’s vocal performance. It became a major international hit, reaching the number-one spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was later included on the album The Game (1980).

The B-side consists of a live performance of We Will Rock You, written by Brian May. Unlike the well-known studio version—characterized by its signature foot-stomping and hand-clapping—this rendition delivers a more powerful, guitar-driven sound. It is associated with the live album Live Killers (1979) and highlights the band's exceptional energy on stage.

This single serves as an intriguing document of Queen’s work in the late 1970s, a period when the band successfully blended diverse musical styles and solidified its status as one of the world's greatest rock groups. Its appeal to collectors is further enhanced by the Yugoslav edition, which features a photographic sleeve depicting the four members of the band.
