Released: November 24, 1980

Songwriter: Lorenzo Semple Jr. Brian May

Producer: Reinhold Mack Brian May

[Intro]
Flash! A-ah!
Savior of the Universe
Flash! A-ah!
He'll save every one of us

(Seemingly there is no reason for these extraordinary intergalactical upsets)
(Hahahahahahaha)
(What's happening Flash?)
(Only Doctor Hans Zarkov, formerly at NASA, has provided any explanation)

[Chorus]
Flash! A-ah!
He's a miracle

(This morning's unprecedented solar eclipse is no cause for alarm)

[Chorus]
Flash! A-ah!
King of the impossible

[Verse 1]
He's for every one of us
Stand for every one of us
He saves with a mighty hand
Every man, every woman
Every child, it's the mighty flash

(General Kala, Flash Gordon approaching.)
(What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching? Open fire! All weapons! Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body)

[Chorus]
Flash! A-ah!
(Gordon's alive!)

[Chorus]
Flash! A-ah!
He'll save every one of us

[Outro]
Just a man with a man's courage
You know he's nothing but a man
And he can never fail
No one but the pure at heart
May find the Golden Grail
Oh-oh, oh-oh

(Flash, Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!)
Flash

Queen

Formed in 1970, Queen was a British rock band whose classic line-up consisted of Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano, Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, and John Deacon on bass. Although Mercury and May wrote the bulk of the band’s material, all four contributed to the songwriting, churning out huge hits. Initially a progressive rock band with strong metal influences, their sound evolved dramatically over time. The band went on to refine, if not define “stadium rock,” as they grew to become one of the most beloved rock bands of all time.

Their early progressive phase spawned epic tracks like “March of the Black Queen” and one international hit “Killer Queen.” But it was their 1975 track “Bohemian Rhapsody” which catapulted the group to super-stardom. The song reigned at #1 on the UK charts for nine weeks and has since been praised as one of the greatest songs of all time

Moving away from their album-orientated sound, the band only grew in popularity with such songs as November 1976’s “Somebody to Love,” October 1977’s “We Are the Champions,” January 1979’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” June 1980’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” January 1984’s “Radio Ga Ga,” and many more. These songs are so beloved that a musical based on the band’s discography, titled We Will Rock You, became one of West-End’s longest-running shows with a 12-year run through May 2014—and more events being featured internationally, as well.
