Their classic song Killer Queen is known as the inspiration for Yoshikage Kira—more precisely, for the Stand he wields—who remains immensely popular as a memorable villain.

The melody of the song, which shifts between minor and major keys, matches well with the psychopathic personality of Yoshikage Kira, doesn’t it?
