Hot Space is an album by English rock band Queen, released in 1982. Marking a notable shift in direction from their earlier work, Queen employed many elements of disco, Pop Music, R&B and dance music on Hot Space, being partially influenced by the success of their 1980 hit "Another One Bites the Dust" . This made the album less popular with fans that preferred the traditional rock style they had come to associate with the band,though Hot Space did fit in with the Queen tradition of incorporating many disparate influences into their music. Read Full BioHot Space is an album by English rock band Queen, released in 1982. Marking a notable shift in direction from their earlier work, Queen employed many elements of disco, Pop Music, R&B and dance music on Hot Space, being partially influenced by the success of their 1980 hit "Another One Bites the Dust" . This made the album less popular with fans that preferred the traditional rock style they had come to associate with the band,though Hot Space did fit in with the Queen tradition of incorporating many disparate influences into their music.

Queen's decision to record a funk album germinated with the massive U.S. success of "Another One Bites the Dust" (and to a lesser extent, the UK success of the song too). In hindsight, while it seemed a carefully calculated move to capitalise on their incidental interest in "black music", it was considered by some to be a temporary blow to their reputation. While the album's second single "Body Language" did peak at #11 on the U.S. charts, the accompanying video was not accepted to be put on rotation by MTV for its erotic overtones (particularly those that hinted at Freddie Mercury's sexuality) which may have resulted in a backlash from the more conservative sections of the band's fan base.

Despite the controversy over the album's new sound, (Disco/Funk-influenced rock music) "Under Pressure" was well-received by fans and became the band's 2nd #1 hit in the U.K. It also reached #29 in the U.S.

The 'Hot Space Tour' was Queen's last tour of America until the Queen + Paul Rodgers tour in 2006

Staying Power
Queen Lyrics

Let me show it to you yeah

See what I got, I got a hell of a lot
Tell me what you feel
Is it real is it real
You know I got what it takes
And I can take a lot
Did you hear the last call baby

You and me got staying power yeah
You and me we got staying power
Staying power (I got it I got it)

I wonder when we're gonna make it
I wonder when we're gonna shake it
Rock me baby rock me
C'mon you can shock me
Let's catch on to the groove
Make it move make it move
You know how to shake that thing
We'll work it work it work it
You and I can play ball baby

You and me got staying power yeah
You and me we got staying power

I wonder when we're gonna make it
I wonder when we're gonna shake it
Fire down below I'm just a regular dynamo
Want some smooth company
Don't lose control just hang on out with me
Got to get to know each other
But we got plenty of time
Did you hear the last call baby

You and me got staying power yeah
You and me we got staying power

Power, power, power...

I wonder when we're gonna stick it
I wonder when we're gonna trick it
Blow baby blow let's get down and go go
Get yourself in the mood
Got to give a little bit of attitude
Baby don't you crash
Let just trash trash trash
Did you hear the last call baby

You and me got staying power yeah
You and me we got staying power

(I like it) Staying power
Yeah yeah
Gotcha

recently kinda, while i was in the car with my mom a car hit us pretty hard and we could’ve died

but i mean if i did die, i would’ve died looking at pictures of Freddie 😂

btw yes this is a true story of mine and i can officially say it’s my biggest flex cause I’m for some reason proud i could’ve died looking at Freddie. Literally

Because it's a lot different from their other music 🎶

Googoo Gjoob

Probably cause it's terrible.
Only saving grace is Arif Mardin's orchestrated horn section stuff

Gus Goosegrease

For starters the band has probably the best drummer, bass player and guitar player in the world, and the instrument that stands out the most in the song is a COWBELL.

So True This Song Is Amazing 🙌

One of my favorite Queen numbers. Know the rockers didn't like it. But Freddie rocked! This boogie funk ROCKED! And Queen even ROCKED when they did songs like "Killer Queen" and "Bohemian Rhapsody". Queen rocked in the most cabaret and theatrical way too. So this totally makes sense. Too bad Michael Jackson didn't duet on this, would've been perfect. Know he and Freddie tried on "State Of Shock" but..ah well. Still a great song.

@Andregrindle Yes! This would've made a FIRE duet between the two. Or Back Chat, but either one would've worked great!

Shame this song never became a hit here in the States. But, I believe it was a hit in Japan even, though I could be wrong. LOL.

@Big Guy's 45's It didn't chart anywhere, which is a huge shame.

fun fact: freddie played the bass in this one (:

@TheSultanOfFancyness [iZyxel] - True. I play bass as well. An old 1960's Gibson EB3 I bought as a teen. It was programmed for concert performances.

TheSultanOfFancyness [iZyxel]

@Susie Q the line is playable on an actual bass tho, I've tried.

marianna - No offense but Freddie did not know how to play bass. The bass line was done by synth and was programmed by Freddie. Not the same as playing bass although most info erroneously said he did on this song. Programming a synth isn't the same as playing a bass.

I can't believe i've never heard this song before. It's great. Sure it's not their usual stuff, but it has a great 70s funk groove to it with an 80s synth vibe. It reminds me of the song Big Bad Wolf from the Teen Wolf soundtrack.

"Hot Space" is the best Queen album in my opinion. We're all entitled to our own opinion. Remember that, please. Don't let people bring you down for having your own opinion. And if you're one of those people that shit on other people for not having the same opinion as you, don't be a douche bag. It'll make the world a better place :)

The baseline is incredible. I don't see why people dislike this album so much; the baselines are rad. It was about time for John Deacon to get some spotlight.

@Captain AmercianBurger1775 The same guys who wrote Fun It and Dancer respectively?

Emmi Davis

@Googoo Gjoob Sure it was a synth bass line, but since John still played live on a rhythm guitar, fans still acknowledged his talent regardless of the instrument.
