[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury]
Hey, clap
This is a, this is a song by John
It's called back chat, back chat, back chat, back chat, back chat, back...

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah
Ha!

[Chorus]
Back Chat, Back Chat
You burn all my energy
Back Chat, Back Chat
Criticizing all you see
Back Chat, Back Chat
Analyzing what I say
Back Chat, Back Chat
And you always get your way

[Post-Chorus]
Oh yeah, see it baby
See what you've done

[Bridge]
Back Chat, Back Chat
You're driving me insane
It's a battle to the end, knock me down
You come again

[Verse 1]
Talk back, talk back you've got me on the rack
Twisting every word I say
Wind me up and get your way
Fat chance I have of making a romance
If I'm ever gonna win
Have to get the last word in
Take it from there
Twisting every word I say
Wind me up and let me play

[Chorus]
Back Chat, Back Chat
You burn all my energy
Back Chat, Back Chat
Criticizing all you see
Back Chat, Back Chat
Analyzing what I say
Back Chat, Back Chat
And you always get your way

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Wake up, stand up, and drag yourself on out
Get down, get ready
Scream and shout
Back off of me, be cool
And learn to change your ways
'Cause your talking in your sleep
And your walking in a daze
Don't push your luck with me
I'm ready to attack
'Cause when I'm tryna talk to you, all you do is just talk back
You stand so tall you don't flatter me at all
Don't talk back, don't talk back, don't talk back
Just leave me alone

[Chorus]
Back Chat, Back Chat
You burn all my energy
Back Chat, Back Chat
Criticizing all you see
Back Chat, Back Chat
Analyzing what I say
Back Chat, Back Chat
You always get your way

Yes you do baby
Ah! Go, yeah
Get on down
Oh, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Oh!
Talk to me, talk to me
Yes you do, yes you do baby
Oh, right on down, yeah
Whoo!
Oh, get on down
Get on down, get on down
Hey!
Get on down, get on down
Back chat, back, c'mon
Back, back, back, back, back, back chat
Hey, get on down, get on down
Go for it, go for it, go for it, yeah
Take it, whoo!
Back Chat

[Audience Applause]

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.
