Three-four time

I was wondering whether how many three-four time songs Queen has made.
I'm too lazy to search for and check all the lists with figures, does somebody know this?
(and I wonder which songs of parts are three-four)

Sorry for my bad English

I think the only full song in 3/4 timing is Sweet Lady.

Sweet Lady has a section in 4/4. So it's not a full song in 3/4 anyway.

Yes, you're right, my bad.
So no song from Queen is fully in 3/4 timing?
But then I can assume that Sweet Lady at least has the longest 3/4 timing from all Queen songs?

isn't it a little bit of 3/4 in mustapha too ?

The Millionaire Waltz has some 3/4 time doesn't it?

I'm fairly positive The Millionaire Waltz is in 3/4 time.

considering that it is a waltz......  

I'm glad that someone agrees with me.

Hmmm.....I was tempted say "I'm in Love With My Car," until I remenbered Roger saying in some video that it's really 6/8 time.  So even though it's a rolling feeling of 3 notes within a 'beat," basically that "beat" is duple.  Given, it's a slow duple.

well 6/8 time and 3/4 time is pretty much the same thing, since time signatures are just basic math problems.  The reason you hear the 3/4 beat is because it's 6/8 time and 6/8 reduces to 3/4 in basic math.

Actually, 3/4 and 6/8 aren't the same, just like so-called identical twins have some subtle differences, just like F# isn't the same as Gb, etc.

In Queen, 6/8 is actually more common (Jesus, Somebody to Love, We Are the Champions, Drowse, I'm in Love With My Car), 3/4 still appears sometimes (e.g. Lap of the Gods... Revisited, Soul Brother, Sweet Lady and Millionaire Waltz, though the latter two include 4/4 sections). Both Bicycle Race and Innuendo have a break in 3/4 as well.

Exactly!

but 3/4 and 6/8 have a VERY similar recognizable sound.

Not to cause confusion...but I thought "We Are The Champions" was in 12/8.

Just like siblings (and identical twins even more) have VERY similar looks, traits, etc. but they're still different. Just like F# and Gb are VERY close but not the same, etc.

As for We Are the Champions: you may be right about that. These things are sometimes neither black nor white nor grey: drums can be playing one pattern and vocal may have a different pulse, etc. Queen catalogue has some subtle polyrhythms, hemiolas and so on.

If you can elaborate on Champions' metre, please do: I'll be happy to stand corrected if that's the case.
