Are the Queen songs “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” really gay pride anthems?

  5. Mr. Martin and the Mourner’s Bench It was a mechanics bench – until yesterday. Then the mechanic left. Today, Mr. Martin is mourning at that empty bench. Because Mr. Martin’s car needs a new bearing. And a mechanic to install it. Neither are available. So Mr. Martin will simply have to arrange for other transportation. If he can. We’re all close to Mr. Martin’s mournful state, with our cars’ averaging 7 1/2 years of age. With 47 out of every 100 mechanics gone to war – and car replacement parts difficult or impossible to get – we’re in danger. In fact, a crisis in national transportation is close. Fortunately, we have two champions to help us fight our battle. Champion number one is the service station man, skilled at nipping trouble in the bud, at beating off wear with his grease gun. Champion number two: world-beating American lubricants. Such as Veedol Motor Oil – pride of the 100% Pennsylvania crudes. And the five never-failing Veedol chassis lubricants. ….. 1945 Veedol Motor Oil War Bond Ad, A5781. 19450618

Not at all.

They are more sporting anthems.

Gasp! Blasphemy!!! They are all about high school American football, baby!

That does make sense. But, I’ve never known Queen for being quite so ambiguous.

Can’t stand queen, I’m more a Combichrist kinda guy!

Gay people adopt a lot of songs as their own even if they have nothing to do with gay pride. I personally feel that We Are the Champions can be relatable to a lot of people gay or not.

I love Queen, but I’m really sick of those songs.

I think any song can be a “gay pride” song if you want to give it that meaning.

In all honesty i dont think so, i mean, ive never heard of that in my life. But of-course i could be wrong,

i dont think anyone would draw that conclusion about the songs if they werent written by queen.
:P

no, no… ‘course not.

and their song “killer queen” is really about queen elizabeth on a killing spree…

No, never. I never heard of that. Those legendary songs have always been sporting themes, and they really match the position and atmosphere of sports. Known true pride anthems or bands are the Village People and ABBA.

No, I wouldn’t say so, though it could be implied that way. I will say this, though, they are the two most overrated Queen songs in the world. o_o

Queen has soooo many better songs, but these two seem to be the most popular (discounting Bohemian Rhapsody, of course =])

The Show Must Go On…
Bicycle Race…
Bohemian Rhapsody…
Fat Bottomed Girls…
You’re My Best Friend…

I could go ooonnn and on. Queen ROCKS, but those two songs don’t. =]
