Under Pressure

That's not how it's gonna be.

Frankie, I cannot believe Under Pressure didn't do better than it did.

As good a song as it is.

Yeah.

They get into the recording studio.

David Bowie just happens to be next door, which just happens a lot, you know, recording, laying down some new tracks.

Queen and David Bowie got together for Under Pressure, the one that was sampled by Vanilla Ice like 10 years later.

And that went to number one.

[gun clicking] Where shall we begin? [dramatic music]

Under Pressure.

And we're back, and we are now 60 minutes into the 1997 film, Under Pressure, or-

O- otherwise known as Bad Day on the Block.

I like that title better.

What are the mechanisms for people doing what they're doing? We don't know.

It's just a bad day on the block.

I think that explains the film better as a title than Under Pressure.

Pressure Pushing down on me Pressing down on you No

man has fought Under pressure That burns a building down Switch the famine to But speak for It's not okay.

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about.

Watching some good friends scream, let me out.

People on the streets.

People on the streets.

What this world is about Watching some good friends Screaming let me out Tomorrow It's going to be high and high But you're on people People on streets Turned away from it all Like a blind man Sat on a fence But I don't want You're coming up with love But it's so slashed and torn Why? Why? Why can't we give love? And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is ourselves Under pressure

Originally released as a bonus track on Queen's Greatest Hits Volume 1 in 1981 and then on their next album, Hot Space, the following year.

Big L!

So Tara and Greenwich would like to hear a record called Under Pressure from Queen and David Bowie, I believe.
