What happened was, Freddie and Elvis used to work together and they had a row so Freddie, in revenge, took the song and claimed it as his own. And then Elvis all up and died out of depression...... and cheeseburgers dipped in lard :-D

also amazing how one person can think CLTCL got released BEFORE spread your wings - which entered the chart in march 78.....but then everyone knows that elvis isn't dead yet....he's just sulking because freddie didn't write anymore songs for him
Freddie, actually the whole band, wrote more songs for Elvis. "Fat Bottomed King", "Now I'm Here (in the Waffle House again)", "We Will Karate Chop You", "All Fed, All Fed", and "I Want To Break Wind".
They were actually all on one album entitled, "The King Sings Queen". I think it charted pretty high on the Ukranian chart...like 5 or 6.
Can anyone verify that for us??

Man, what a load of bullshit. "Fat bottomed King" was written by Roger, as we all know.
I know that! That's why I put "actually the whole band ."
I miss those songs so much!
I know! You'd think you could find mp3's or something! Talk about rare stuff!
i LOVE this song to death. i love the video, too. in the video he looks like he's trying to emulate elvis anyway...
some people are just stupid and don't know the differnece between a cat and a dog (or, in this case, Crazy Little Thing and Elvis!!!) what dicks! they should all die in fires (im in a bad mood, get over it!!!)
hehe..:p
"Elvis died in 77, CLTCL was released in feb 78"
Actually, it was released in late '79.

i agree
Freddie wrote that song,in a toilet :-).
Yes,maybe the rythm is similar to some rock'n'roll songs but CLTCL was made by Freddie,it's sure. ;-)

Everytime I listen to Crazy Little Thing Called Love with my mom, and everytime I tell her that Freddie wrote the song, she insists that Ricky Nelson wrote the song, and that Freddie was trying to impersonate Ricky. And eveytime I tell her , no, she says she's right and I'm wrong. I even went online and posted the lyrics, which said, lyrics written by Freddie Mercury, and showed them to her, she just walks away and doesn't talk for an hour. And she was a fan before me and actually went to some of their concerts, and STILL believes that Ricky Nelson wrote that song!!!! I get fed up when I try to explain it to her. And then she tosses in that Dwight Yokem(I know I must have spelled it wrong) and I just leave the room. It gets quite annoying.
