@kristenmorgan9824
I still can't believe they never made a video for this. This song suited Freddies voice so well!
@Keston1302
Lol this is a very late reply but I agree. I loved the growl in his voice in this. Definitely one of their most underrated
@simonamercuryjackson1874
@@Keston1302 I agree When my mother bought The works record I was twelve ...I didn't understand very well the power of this song..but since 1984,Tear it Up is one of my favour 💞💞💞
@magganwesterlund730
Maybe they felt "not in shape visuelle" to do it...?
@luciaortiz3933
@@magganwesterlund730 I think Queen usually did videos for the main singles or hit singles only? So maybe, do to this song not being a single from the album....they didn't make any videos for it? Idk honestly, I'm just saying....
@Nixter1974007
The Works..what an album...tremendous.
@Nixter1974007
Some underrated songs on The Works I reckon.

+Nixter1974007 i agree the whole album has a fantastic sound to it one of my faveourites
@Nixter1974007
Yeah, terrific hard rock sound after Hot Space. Hard to believe The Works is now over 30 years old.
