The song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" appears on Queen's album The Game. Written by Freddie Mercury, it was recorded in 1979 and included on the album released in 1980.
Mercury reportedly wrote the song quickly while relaxing in a bathtub at the Bayerischer Hof Hotel in Munich, where Queen were working on the album. Its rockabilly and early rock-and-roll style was a deliberate change from Queen's more elaborate progressive and operatic sound. Elvis Presley is widely cited as a major inspiration for the song's feel.
The track became one of Queen's biggest commercial successes. It reached No. 2 in the United Kingdom and became Queen's first No. 1 single on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed at the top for four weeks in 1980. A common mix-up is A Night at the Opera, which contains "Bohemian Rhapsody"; the two albums are both central to Queen's history but feature different signature songs.
