For those who want to buckle down and finish studying in a flash, I’d like to recommend Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” It’s not a heavy rock song, but Freddie Mercury’s powerful vocals can sound like a rousing pep talk, making you think, “I’ve got to do this!”

Greatest HitsQueen

Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody (Official Video Remastered)

Greatest Hits is a best-of album by the British rock band Queen, released in 1981.

The album compiles Queen’s hit songs released between 1974’s Seven Seas of Rhye and 1980’s Flash, and in some countries it also includes the collaboration track Under Pressure with David Bowie.

With sales of over 25 million copies, it is Queen’s best-selling album and one of the best-selling albums of all time.

Distilling the essence of Queen’s appeal, this album is an excellent introduction to Western pop and rock music.

We Will Rock You (Dean Cohen Remix)Queen

Queen – We Will Rock You (Dean Cohen Remix)

When it comes to classic sports day anthems, Queen’s “We Will Rock You” is the one, right? That stomping, the clapping, and Freddie Mercury’s rousing calls—it’s the perfect track to fire up the competitors’ fighting spirit.

In 2018, Queen’s biographical film “Bohemian Rhapsody” was a huge hit.

Even so, there are still lots of kids who look blank and go, “What song is this?” Unfortunately, to ears tuned to modern pop, it just doesn’t sound familiar.

But I totally understand teachers who want those kids to appreciate how great Queen is.

In times like that, let’s meet in the middle and get them used to this remix version first! Don’t worry—this song will surely spark their interest in Queen!

The song performed at the very end of Queen’s legendary charity concert event Live Aid in 1985 was “Is This the World We Created.

It’s included on their 1984 album The Works, and despite being only about two minutes long, it’s known as one of the album’s most famous tracks.

At Live Aid, Freddie Mercury and Brian May performed it as a duo, and precisely because it’s such a simple and beautiful piece, it lends itself perfectly to a piano arrangement.

The sheet music introduced here is arranged so that the right hand plays the melody and the left hand plays the chords, making it approachable for players who have developed some independence in both hands.

Be mindful of the slight leaps in the left-hand part, and try playing it with emotion!

Flash’s Theme 2007 High Octane MixQueen

Flash theme Queen

Flash’s Theme is a song by Queen, the world-famous rock band from the United Kingdom.

The lyrics and composition were handled by guitarist Brian May, and it’s a track known for its tense bass line, call-and-response vocals, and soaring high-register choruses.

While it serves as the theme song for the film Flash Gordon, it was also used as the theme for Fuji TV’s Formula 1 broadcasts from 2007 to 2008.

That version was titled Flash: The Legendary Hero (High-Octane Mix), and Brian May himself reportedly created a new remix specifically for the program.

Many F1 fans likely look back fondly on that period, remembering the opening sequence that featured the program’s animation.
