The bassist John Deacon wrote this song for his wife. All these years later they are still best friends. I saw them play this live in 1976 with my best friend and we are still best friends. ✌️♥️🎶
John taught himself to play the piano specifically to write this song.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@leomarshall4059Yeah, apparently Freddie wouldn’t play an electric piano because he thought it was beneath him or something. Didn’t stop him from playing all those shitty-sounding synthesizers in the 80’s, though…
I love that Amber pointed out how great the band's backup vocals are. It is hard to notice sometimes, because Freddy commands so much attention.
And Roger Taylor's tremendous falsetto is often the icing on the cake.
Finally!
@@thundernels ummmm,no. Actually Roger AND Brian are incredible singers as well. So most b vox are the 3 men together
czcams.com/video/-jhiK2ncW40/video.htmlsi=367XEWsxxOvEKDH7 --- VIDEO OF THE MAKING OF THIS SONG...
Roger’s vocals are really underrated. In fact, they all have good voices, but Roger is great.
John wrote this for Veronica, his wife of 40+ years, he also learned to play the keyboard for this song.
Came here to say this.
They’ll be celebrating their 49th anniversary in January 😊
6:00 J said to Amber: "That's one of my new songs to you!" .....how totally sweet!🥰 Did anyone else catch that? Did Amber even catch that??🤔 He was very sincere and had a huge smile on his face.☺ I give J props for being so sweet to Amber!🤗
I did and it was phenom 👍
I caught it, and was thinking the same as you wondering if Amber really grabbed on to the comment like he intended. ❤
@@tinagriggs1004Think she did, but that's not for the channel to see ;)
"Who Wants To Live Forever" is an absolute must. You get amazing vocals from both Freddie & Brian.
Yes!Totally! You guys would love the original "Highlander " Queens soundtrack is in the entire movie.😊
That is my favorite 😊
Highlander would be a good movie watch...
Mee too👍
princes of the universe is also great@@ninawest8
Freddie insisted that John play the electric piano himself because it was a 'vulgar instrument'. I'm glad he did, as it's nice to see some more of John's talent and versatility.
John Deacon wrote this with a lot of support from Freddie. Roger thought it was too pop and light for a “Rock” band but it ended up being one of their biggest hits
I thought it sounded like John Deacon's hand in this from listening to the strong bass guitar beat.The bass in this sounds simple, but is catchy and played with a texture that I can't describe.
The movie Bohemian Rhapsody has a scene where this song and Bohemian... are discussed. The record company doesn't want the song Bohemian Rhapsody to be the feature song... too long, etcetera...
Funny thing they say the kids will never sing that at the top of their lungs in the car... but Wayne's World did!!! 😅
The record executives wanted "Your my Best Friend" to be the featured song. They stated "The one Witten by your drummer Roger" that was in the movie...
Interesting to see a different story line from you Karenj. And cool.😊
It's my second fave by Queen; my fave is "Fat Bottomed Girls" third fave is "Bicycle Race"
Hi! I always thought great bass but are we sure the prominent low notes are not the keyboard?
The bass player John Deacon wrote this about his wife. He’s also the writer of Another One Bites the Dust. Every member of Queen wrote worldwide hit songs for the band. These 4 guys were unbelievably talented.
I'm 68 years old I have to tell you you two have the biggest hearts .I wish you all of gods love
John wrote this song for his lovely young bride Veronica … they are still together and will be celebrating their 49th anniversary in January
Queen is so versatile. Even ragtime style, the song Seaside Rendezvous!!! And even different languages. Let Us Cling Together has multi language in the lyrics. Mustapha is a mind blowing song. So many Queen classic out there!!!
Mustapha, Mustapha! 👑♥
That’s “Teo Torriate ( Let Us Cling Together)” , lyrics in Japanese and English.
There is also “Las Palabras de Amor” (The Words of Love) with lyrics in Spanish and English.
Seaside Rendezvous is fire!
Seaside Rendezvous isn’t a “ragtime” style song. It’s in the “English Music Hall” style. Ragtime is an American style of music. This song is more closely related to American Vaudeville, than ragtime.
You two should watch "Highlander." They did all the songs in that movie.
Completely agree!! 💙💙
Who Wants To Live Forever - Classic
As well as the series with Adrian Paul!
I’ve been trying to get them to check out the movie Highlander for a long time, hopefully they listen to the song Princes Of The Universe and watch the movie
Don’t forget Flash Gordon.
Bass player John Deacon wrote this song. It's him playing the dominant electric piano here. Freddie did not like the idea of electric piano in a Queen song - till John said "wait till you hear this".
One of their best. John Deacon didn't write many of their songs but the ones he did were usually great.
"Tie Your Mother Down" is another Queen gem.
Okay THIS will bring me back. An absolute classic. IMO this is John Deacon's best song, even if "Another One Bites the Dust" hit #1 on the charts. And Deacon played the electric piano on the record, too.
One of the remarkable things about Queen is that ALL of them are top-drawer songwriters. I can't think of another group like that.
(And the song has been all over popular culture, over a dozen films and TV shows. as well as the ads)
How about some of Brian May's classic songs in the Queen Catalog?
Brighton Rock -Brian invents a new guitar technique
Now I'm Here- one of the best songs for Freddie interacting with the audience. Grab it live!
Teo Torriate (Let us cling together)- some of the lyrics are in Japanese (Brian wrote while on tour), but pure beauty
The Prophet's Song- Brian outdoes Bohemian Rhapsody at its own game. No, seriously, BR is the *simpler* song. Take that, Fred!
And of course Freddie dazzles on the vocals on all of these. Enjoy!
Absolutely LOVE the Prophet's Song.
Spread your wings is my favourite John Deacon song.
Freddie loathed the electric piano & refused to play it. John wanted the sound on the record so he wound up playing it himself.
Queen is the only group to have each member write a #1song. Pretty amazing!
" Misfire"😉
You're my best friend very nice song. Wrote by John Deacon, bass player of Queen. Freddie's Vocal give this song a whole new level and meaning. ❤❤
Written against his will, too. Freddie insisted that everyone have at least one song on each album, to reduce conflict over royalties.
His base playing on this song is really tasty!!🎼🎵🎶🎸🥁
Deacon also on the electric keys.
@@kengalbraith1319 Which Freddie hated, lol.
Yes, we know. It's also "written", which is the perfect past tense of the irregular verb, write.
My oldest son and his wife used this song as their recessional music at there wedding seven years ago. It holds a special place in my heart.
“That’s one of my new songs to you.”
Aw, that was adorable.
Freddie’s birthday is tomorrow. Check out more early Queen, please . “Liar” live 1974 @ Rainbow,; “White Queen” live 1975 @ Odean; studio version of “Love of My Life” (complete 180 from live performance); Millionaire Waltz; My Melancholy Blues and all other commenter suggestions!
Freddie deserves a birthday marathon!👑
They should do Queen's set at Live Aid for Freddy's birthday.
I totally agree with your suggestions White Queen live 75 is my favorite along with You Take my Breath Away Hyde Park and I would add Father to Son Live at the Rainbow, In the Lap of the Gods, Great King Rat, Jesus...so many gems !
Yay!!! 💃🎸🎵 This is my favorite Queen song! Thank ya'll so.much, I've been hoping you'd do this one! ❤
-#cheers-- !-
Mine too :)
“You’re My Best Friend” was written by the band’s bass player, John Deacon, who has also written their mega-hit “Another One Bites the Dust”. He composed this love song for his new wife, Veronica Tetzlaff, whom he married in January 1975, shortly before the album was recorded.
John enjoyed a mostly quiet home life, particularly in the early days of Queen. He was very shy and quiet. It took a good deal of time before he worked up the nerve to bring the song to the band.
John learned to play the electric piano for this song. Freddie normally played piano for Queen but gave a big fat “NO” when the band purchased a Wurlitzer electric piano. As Freddie said, “I refused to play that damn thing. It’s tiny and horrible and I don’t like them. Why play those when you have a lovely superb piano?”
John said in a later interview, “Freddie didn’t like the electric piano, so I took it home and I started to learn on the electric piano and basically that’s the song that came out when I was learning to play piano. It was written on that instrument and it sounds best on that.”
FYI - You're My Best Friend was used in an AT&T commercial and a PetSmart commercial showing a dachshund and his owner going into the kitchen for some breakfast with the song playing in the background.
Queen "Crazy Little Thing Called Love " 🥰
They already did it.
Jay, you mentioned that piano. John Deacon had a very specific sound he wanted for this song and it included the electric keyboard. Freddie absolutely abhorred the idea when there was a beautiful grand piano to play. Freddie wouldn’t play the electric one so John taught himself to play it for this song
Freddie Mercury encouraged John Deacon the bassist to write a song so that he will continually get paid for the song.. Freddie Mercury was always wanting to make sure everyone made money, He spoke of this in an interview.
This Queen song is so special. My papa and I would sing to it when it came on the radio in the car. This was 3 years before he passed away. I loved that he was 82 years old and loved rock, especially Journey. But this Queen song is now in my heart and makes me smile, thinking about my papa ❤
This is my song to my sister who recently passed away. It said more than any words i could muster. 😢
This whole album "A Night At The Opera " is worth its own Album reaction/review. Every song is 🔥 !🔥!🔥!🔥! Check it out, Rob Squad
John Deacon wrote this for his wife. So sweet, and I believe holds the record TO THIS DAY as the number 1 song played on U.S. radio.
I called my beautiful black cat Freddie Mercury and I always sing him this song and Love of my life.😊 I love you Freddie.
My Black beauty is also Freddie Mercury! And his brother is Deaky Deacon!
If you haven't seen the movie 'Bohemian Rhapsody' yet, there's great insight into how they worked in the studio. They really were pioneering musicians. Their music will be around as long as humans are!
I’d recommend any documentary over the movie
The song was used in Carnival Cruise commercials. They used the “Oh, you make me live”.
I don’t believe it was ever used in a pet commercial.
I’m surprised you didn’t notice who was playing the keyboard.
John Deacon, the bass player who wrote the song for his wife.
The song was used in several TV shows and films such as Hot in Cleveland, EastEnders, My Name is Earl, The King of Queens, The Simpsons, Shaun of the Dead and The Secret Life of Pets, in addition to the promo for the American television adaption of Wilfred. It appears in a 2016 TV commercial for PetSmart.
haha thanks! it was bugging me what commercial it was from when she brought it up you saved me the research.
A+
You should check out Smash Mouth. They were popular in the 90's, and the lead singer Steve Harwell just passed away today. All-Star was their big hit, but also did a cover of the Monkees, I'm a Belierver which was featured in one of the Shrek movies.
We all know you 2 are best friends. Keep it that way.
Some sad news to pass along. Gary Wright has passed away at the age of 80. You have reacted to his two big hits "Dream Weaver" and "Love is Alive". Before he went solo, Wright was part of a band called Spooky Tooth. As a tribute I hope you can react to the Beat Club performance of "That Was Only Yesterday". R.I.P.
I second that motion!
"Really Want To Know You" was a top 20 hit also.
“You’re My Best Friend” was written by the band’s bass player, John Deacon.
Deacon composed this love song for his wife, Veronica Tetzlaff, whom he married in January, 1975 (this year they celebrated their 48th anniversary), shortly before the album was recorded.
In this song, he plays a Wurlitzer electric piano in addition to his bass guitar work.
Their harmonies are just so damn good. Seriously it's mind-bogging how good they sound together.
One of my favorite Queen songs.
Queen “one year of love “💥💥💥💥thanks boss
I know John wrote this song for his wife but in my heart, I know Freddie was singing about Mary.
Some amazing songs by Queen are Spread Your Wings, It's Late, and a performance by Freddy that will blow you away in My Melancholy Blues. They were all on News of the World. Same album as We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions. 1977.
This record is singly responsible for the biggest increase in the popularity Queen.
When it was released it was a breath of freshness and the British public loved it.
Im 62 now but when i got married back in 1983 my wife and i played this song at the end of our ceremony as we danced down the isle! Its my wifes favorite song. ❤
Love how Jay says "That's one of my new songs to you..." It's why so many people watch you guys, if you did a TV show it would be your theme.
My favorite group! This was written by newlywed bassist John Deacon for his wife Veronica.....and they're still together! Six kids. Yikes.
And yes, Queen songs pop up in a LOT of commercials. There's even a running joke that it's illegal to make a commercial in the USA without a Queen song in it.
Fun fact : the MV was shot in an old barn, and it retained a lot of very pungent smells from its former inhabitants. The guys were nit thrilled with that aspects of the experience. 😂
🥴
That's three British Bands in one night. Heaven!!
Need to hear :
We Will Rock You
great stomping
beat !!
They wrote this song for The Fans , give them a major part in a Queen song!!
I promise you’ll love it and definitely join in!!
That Deakie loves his wife for sure! The rest of the band were reluctant to do it because they started off with some really hard rock, but it is one of their best loved tracks. I sure wish a guy had written it for me!
It’s a great feel good song. One of my fav Queen songs. Totally was in a pet food style commercial.
Is there any musical style that Queen cannot do? So versatile, they are amazing!
My wife and I chose this as our Second Dance. (The first was "Songbird" by Fleetwood Mac, which you reacted to in December 2022.)
This is used during the closing credits of The Secret Life of Pets -- a movie that you can watch with the kids.
Happy 77th birthday to Freddie Mercury!! We miss him so much
A Night at the Opera remains one of the best albums of all time. An absolute classic fully of great songs, great variety too.
The reason Queen songs all sound different. They are the product of 4 different song writers. This one by the bass player John Deacon.
"You're My Best Friend" was written by Queen's bassist John Deacon while he was at home on a keyboard. This was the first song Deacon wrote, and it was for his wife, Veronica Tetzlaff.
In the recording, Deacon played a Fender Rhodes electric piano in addition to his bass guitar duties.
Although it wasn't the band's biggest hit, "You're My Best Friend" remains one of Queen's most popular songs due to its catchy melody and universal, heartfelt lyrics.
Interestingly, Deacon bought the electric piano specifically to compose this song. This was not usual for the band as Freddie Mercury was generally the one who played the keyboard.
The song was released as single in 1976 and reached No. 7 in the UK Singles Chart and No. 16 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
The song is also a favourite for wedding dances due to its romantic connotations.
It wasn’t John’s first song - that would be “Misfire”, which appeared on the previous album , Sheer Heart Attack (1974)
Queen has a pet connection. There’s a sweet song called All Dead, All Dead that was about Brian May’s childhood cat.
This is a wonderful song written by wonderful John deAcon❤
This song always brings happy tears to my eyes. Thanks for listening
One of John Deacon's greatest songs! I have great memories of seeing Queen perform this at the Hollywood Sportatorium in Florida, November 3, 1978. Great song!
Queen's harmonies are killer, get me every time.
John Deacon wrote this endearing song for & about his wife Veronica Tetzlaff. They met in 1971, at the Maria Assumpta College disco, a couple months after John joined Queen!! The song has been featured in several TV shows & films ie., Shaun Of The Dead . The Break-Up . Will & Grace . King Of Queens . The Simpsons . Family Guy.
Queen is the best band of all time
This was written by John Deacon (bass player) as a tribute to his wife. the lyrics are so heartwarming!
Brian May! My hero!! His guitar genius makes Queen totally recognizable, after Freddie's voice of course!!
This song is not only in many commercials, but it is all over pop culture. I've heard it used in movies, television shows, radio ads, you name it. :)
There will never be another Freddie Mercury! Again, I am suggesting y'all listen to Queen's song "Who Wants To Live Forever". (from the soundtrack for the movie "Highlander"). Although the official video is good, I strongly suggest you watch their Live from Wembly performance of this song. It is truly Freddie at his most dramatic, heartfelt best.
Ah thank you it’s Freddie’s birthday today 5th and this beautiful song was written by John this group was so talented they could play any instrument missed forever Freddie god bless him sending love from England x x 🦋🦋❤️❤️
There have been several commercials using this song I believe. One for Carnival Cruises and yes, one for PetSmart.
The whole album "A night at the opera" was a masterpiece. I was a Queen freak @ 14 back in 1975 when this was released. This was me & my bffs song back then. Love your reactions. ✌️
React to their rocky “Now I’m Here” live at Wembley Stadium….Freddie and Brian running all over the stage….fantastic live video
Brings back memories of my Mum and Dad. My Dad suffered ill- health in his final years and went in and out of hospital all the time. My Mum would visit every day and one of the nurse remarked on the fact that she did so. My Dad just said, 'she's my best friend’. Which summed it all up, really.
I suggest Queen "I'm in love with my car" wich is sung by the drummer !
I appreciate your recognition of the importance of the entire band. I once heard someone say that Freddie Mercury was Queen. No. Queen is 4 guys with pure, raw talent who are each vital to the band. Any Queen fan, as opposed to Freddie Mercury fans, will tell you that. Freddie, Roger, and Brian all did solo work that was extremely good.
Great song by Queen's bassist, John Deacon. Queen has a LOT of great songs, and all four band members, Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, have written some great songs.
Brian May, Queen's lead guitarist and resident astrophysicist, pretty much invented thrash metal with their song, "Stone Cold Crazy", that came out in 1974, I believe. Metallica did a cover, in fact. Roger Taylor, Queen's drummer, did a song on the same album called "Tenement Funster" which is just a rocking good tune.
Brian said he suggested it should be more frenetic the way Freddie normally played guitar
It was one of Freddies with Ibex
The guitarist was more of a blues guitarist so it was slower
This was the smash hit on side 1 of A Night at the Opera. A little tune called Bohemian Rhapsody anchored side 2.
The bass player John Deacon wrote this for his wife.
Other Queen songs you guys should check out are: Brighton Rock. Stone cold crazy. And One vision. All of these Queen songs rock!
Me: Sees a Queen reaction uploaded. Immediately stops what I'm doing and watches.
AWWWW - So SWEET (Dedications) YOU-GUYS!!! GREAT song to dedicate to your loved one!! HUGS! ❤❤❤❤❤
My second favourite Queen song after Seven Seas of Rhye. Reminds me of good times.
People seem to forget the incredibly talented Roger Taylor on drums and backing vocals!!!!!!!
anything by Queen... becomes icon 🔥🔆
Their unknown song,'39,
' 39 Is my favorite from Queen
This song has been used in numerous commercials over the last 15 years or so-ATT phone service, an investment commercial, dog food commercial….
"Tie your mother down" also written by Brian.
HELL yeah!
This song is why I find bass player John Deacon so lovable. A love song to his wife.
This song was actually written by John Deacon, their bass player. Its a good example of how this band melded talents together. Roger Taylor (drummer) has one of the best rock and roll voices in the business. Brian is ranked as one of the all-time best guitarists. And yet he sings very sweetly himself. Yes, Freddie was a phenom at vocals and piano, but together this band is absolute magic. Each one of them could break off and have a solid solo career (and they have), but they are at their best when they were together.
In their early years Brian May and Roger Taylor would sing the lyrics to the songs which they wrote. If you want to hear Brian singing check out the song "39".
'39 is my favorite Queen song, I got to see Brian May perform it live 5 years ago, literally took the moment to soak it in, he's still incredible after all these years, he sang it perfectly.
John Deacon didn't write many of their songs, but the few he wrote were great, this one and Spread Your Wings, John had a hard time dealing with Freddie's passing, once described by Roger Taylor as extremely fragile, ultimately quit the music business altogether and went on to live a quiet unassuming life of solitude. He was a fantastic bass player in his day.
He’s not “in solitude” - he’s living a quiet life, yes… but with his Best Friend (wife Veronica) and their children , and now grandchildren. He retired from performing with Queen in 1997, but is still listed “Active” status as a director on the board of Queen Productions Ltd.
@@imweakfordeaky omg give it up, I know he's living a quiet life with his family, I didn't call him a hermit ffs, "retired", "quit the music business" same thing, don't get your panties in a twist over a difference in words, cheers, go touch some grass 👍
I adore this song No politics, pain etc, which have their place.
This is just well....lovely and unique.🌹
Bassist John Deacon's paean to his wife; love that Wurly ---they used to make 'em in my hometown
Nominee for a full album review treatment on this channel: in addition to this, "Love of My Life," and "Bohemian Rhapsody," the rest of *A Night at the Opera*
Yup many different sides of Queen... this is the sweet, loving side of the band... NOW if you havent done it yet, you need to do TIE YOUR MOTHER DOWN!!! Official video... Rock on!!!
Queen is a really amazing band. I wish Freddie didn't die because i'd love to see where they went... So much talent.
What a beatiful song from Queen. Always complete and full of talent.
Best regards!
One of my all time faves!! Rip Freddie 😘❤️
Y’all need to see the performance of Queen at Live Aid at Wembley in ‘85! Twenty minutes of pure musical bliss!
Today is Freddie's birthday! “You're My Best Friend” is a lovely song by bassist John - Deacy - Deacon. Most of the other band members weren't too fond of singing the phrase ‘happy at home’, but they kept it in the song. If you want to hear more about Queen's diversity, check out "Stone Cold Crazy". I hope you do that one before listening to Metallica's cover.
Queens music is Everywhere!!!!!
One of the first 45 RPM singles that I bought was Queen doing Killer Queen. And I believe that this song was the B-side. At first I didn't play it much, because it seemed softer compared to Killer Queen. But almost immediately, it did start to grow on me and it's one of my favorite songs by them and it still sounds fantastic to me today.
A fan-favorite is I'm In Love With My Car. I can't remember if Rodger or Brian wrote it and sang lead, but is one of the few Queen songs that Freddie Mercury is not singing lead on. It's a really fun song.
Roger wrote and sang “I’m In Love with My Car”
