1977
The flip side of the 45 of this song's original vinyl record release contains "We Are The Champions", which is why the songs are often paired on the radio and in sports.
The original lyrics to the song were "We Will Beat You", but were changed when Freddie Mercury said it "sounded stupid".[citation needed]
In 2004, the song was ranked #330 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Ranked #146 on the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) list of Songs of the Century
"We Will Rock You" is the first track on the compilation album VH1 Rocks.
A groan or gruff sigh can be heard, just, at the very start of the song.

The stomping effects in the song were created by the band in an old church, using the wooden floorboards to produce the sound.
The song is often associated with and played at sporting events.
