[edit] Freddie "let Taylor sing the high parts"?
This doesn't seem accurate. In the studio version, there is an overlap between the final two repetitions of the chorus i.e., "We are the champions, my friend..." kicks in over "we are the champions of the world", which would be impossible to reproduce live by a single singer. In every live version of the song I have, that is the only part Roger handles. That final "of the world..." so that Freddie can begin singing the final chorus on time. Nothing to do with the notes being too high. --201.242.208.64 15:23, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Well, here you have it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdCrZfTkG1c One example of Taylor taking over the higher parts at times. Taylor sings the lines melodically the same as on the record, while Freddie adapts his lines for convenience (that is, it obviously sounds like he does). Manolito Mystiq 22:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Order of Queen Themselves?
I am not sure if the quotes from the band are in any particular order now, but I think it would be easier to read and understand all of the comments if they were in chronological order, starting with the oldest... Any agreement? Billvoltage 21:16, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Written in 1975!
According to Freddie Mercury's interview in A Night At the Opera 30th Anniversary Edition DVD2 Track Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are the Champions was written in 1975 but Freddie didn't think it would fit to that period, so he decided to wait two years to find the proper occasion.
[edit] Japan cover
I found something like this. Does anybody knows this band?
[edit] UEFA Champions League
Will the song "We Are the Champions" be played after the 2007 UEFA Champions League Final? --88.76.227.25 14:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Opinion removed
So what if the remix was "ruined"? This is still an encyclopedia, so no opinions needed/wanted. -Uagehry456|TalkJordanhillVote 06:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Capitalisation
This is a bit weried,isn't it? redirected from We Are The Champions, which would appear to be the correct capitalisation. Dave 13/5/'07
[edit] "In Popular Culture" Section
One of the "The song as been used in several videos on YouTube that celebrate the Wii." This comment doesn't seem very much to pertain to popular culture. While youtube is a popular internet website, I hardly think "several videos on youtube" constitutes a significant usage or homage in popular culture. There are certainly more videos than ones about the Wii which use the song but they aren't on here and rightfully shouldn't be. This is blatant abuse of Wikipedia by a Nintendo fanatic. -Tyrone.

[edit] Kill section on @#$king frog!
Please, can we get rid of the crazy frog section? It is totally fine with me to give it its own page, but to see a good bit of the page dedicated to an annoying cover by an annoying commercial ring-tone company is something that would make Freddy spin in his grave! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.65.233.72 (talk) 20:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
