How come Tear It Up never became a big sports anthem?

I love that song and it seems like it was definitely made to be one. Plus, everytime I hear my heart starts racing and I feel like killing the nearest living thing. How come it never caught on?
Anyway the wind blows...
I actually really like Tear it Up. But everything good about it, was already done in We Will Rock You, but WWRY had the added bonus of lyrics that actually meant something. Ok, most people don't really care what WWRY has to say, they just go for the chorus...
I guess Tear it Up never took off because WWRY was merely a bit more memorable + already very entrenched.
I suppose if they'd done Tear it Up first, it might have been a different story.
Because it's just an avarage song...

I kinda like it, although it might be a little too slow for some sports.
Lemme see if I can put this into a goal horn or something for hockey.

At best.....

Just a filler IMO
There not going to say "give me your mind baby give me your body"

Because 'Tear It Up' was never an actual single.

It's not even close to the song 'We Will Rock You' or 'We Are The Champions' are.

'I Want It All' is a decent sports anthem I thought would be even bigger than it is at present.

Thinking about it, 'Gimme The Prize' and 'One Vision' would make great sports anthems. So would 'Hammer To Fall', even if the lyrics don't match so much.

The ultimate sports video, I always thought, would be clips of Michael Jordan doing his thing on the court to 'Don't Stop Me Now'.

You are right, 'Tear It Up' wouldn't be bad though.

How about, just out of nowhere, with the volume loud as hell, a random 'Chinese Water Torture'. That would fire any crowd up.

Oh...then you don't know men's wrestling.
That's like homosexuality with spectators.

I think its because the whole works album is was recorded kind of "tinny" and thin sounding.

I mean, "The Works" sound is great for GA GA and Break Free....

but the sound of that album, is not a "tough" rock sound....waaaay over processed.

Hopefully that clears up any confusion as to whether QOW was a homosexual, or just merely a spectator.

I beg to differ. It's one of my favorite songs that Queen performed live.

The version on Live At Wembley is in my top 10 favorite songs from that concert.

The entire song and especially Freddie's and Roger's interplay on vocals, drums...and then Brian on guitar, kicks rock ass and is electrifying!

It's good. It's a nice opener of the Works tour. But I rather have the Magic Tour version, better drum- and guitarsound.
