Brian May plays a replica of his usual, homemade "Red Special" guitar in this video as he was concerned that the snowy conditions would damage it. The most obvious tell-tale sign is the colour, it is much lighter than the original.
Filmed in Roger Tayor's backyard. "Spread Your Wings" was filmed there the same day, as well.
The cold was so brutal that after both videos were shot the band and the film crew walked to the village pub to warm up and ended up getting heavily drunk.
Rolling Stone ranked the song at number 330 of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2004.
In 1977, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" were issued together as a worldwide top 10 single.
