"Crazy Little Thing Called Love"

Here is Queen performing "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" on Saturday Night Live back in 1982.


"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was written in a rockabilly style, with Freddie Mercury singing in an Elvis Presley-esque fashion. Mercury is said to have composed "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" on the guitar in just five to ten minutes. Other accounts say that he wrote it while lounging in a bubble bath. It was the first U.S. number-one hit for the band (in 1979-80), and was the last song on side one of The Game (1980).
