We explore the song’s global success, its unforgettable music video featuring scenes from the sci-fi classic Metropolis, and Queen’s legendary performance at Live Aid in 1985 that brought the world together in a unifying clap-along moment.
Plus, we share a fun fact about how Roger Taylor’s son inspired the song’s catchy title.
