Parodies’ Paradise: 1977 “We Will Rock You”

Queen’s album News of the World yielded this cliche at sports events around the world as a stadium anthem hitting #1 in France, #9 in the Netherlands, and eventually #36 in US Billboard‘s Hot Digital Songs… Rolling Stone ranked it number 330 of “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time” in 2004… it placed number 146 on the Songs of the Century list in 2001… 2009 it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame…. it has been covered, remixed, sampled, parodied, referenced and used by multiple recording artists, TV shows, films and other media worldwide.

The Mistletones get slyly hilarious with their down in the lot sales number “We Will Flock You.” Now that’s a hot one.
