“Under Pressure” is one the most popular songs from the 80ies, recorded in a creative duo of two rock legends – the British band Queen and musician David Bowie. The song appeared as a result of a common jam session in Switzerland where Bowie came to Queen’s studio to record the vocals for another song “Cool Cat”. The single “Under Pressure” was released in 1981. It first appeared on Queen’s album titled “Hot Space” (1982) and later on numerous compilations dedicated to either Queen, or Bowie, or ‘the greatest hits’. The song was a must-play during Queen’s concerts, while Bowie started performing it only after Freddie Mercury’s death in 1992. The well-recognized now bassline was named the best bassline in the pop music history. The song was covered by multiple artists including My Chemical Romance & The Used, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Britain, Keane, Ben Harper, Crooked Fingers and many others.

If you are not quite a pop music fan but you like to play fun compositions, here's the perfect non-pop piece to pick from the mainstream pop of that era. The easy chord progression and the simple yet memorable two-note riff will hardly leave indifferent! Bowie fans will hear a lot of Bowie feature particularly in the melody (bridge, for sure) and Freddy fans are to enjoy the perfect vocal line. I couldn't think of a better music duo if I were to combine two star figures of that time.
