[upbeat music] The month that Cruising was released, February 1980, Freddie Mercury was not in New York.
Jake BrennanHOST
He was in Munich, Germany, with Queen, finishing recording what would become their next studio album, The Game.
Jake BrennanHOST
Freddie wasn't in Munich just because of the recording studio.
Jake BrennanHOST
Giorgio Moroder's Musicland was state-of-the-art, and it was located in Munich, and he wasn't there simply for the Old World charm.

Rohan AcharyaHOST
Like, at that level, I find myself going, no, I could probably live without playing the game, maybe.
Rohan AcharyaHOST
I'm like, what am I talking about? It's an amazing song.
Rohan AcharyaHOST
