Freddie Mercury Wrote Queen's First Chart-Topping Hit in a 10-Minute Long Bath: 'Everyone Loved It, So We Recorded It' ...Saudi Arabia

However, it's worth remembering that their first chart-topping single in the U.S. came with the release of their '50s-inspired 1979 release, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love."

With how popular the tune quickly grew to be by the start of the 1980s, it's amazing to think that Freddie Mercury actually ended up writing the song in under 10 minutes while enjoying a bath in a German hotel room.

“We arranged [it] at band rehearsals the following day with me trying to play rhythm guitar," Mercury explained. "Everyone loved it, so we recorded it. The finished version sounded like the bathroom version. It’s not typical of my work, but that’s because nothing is typical of my work.”

Of course, "Crazy Little Thing" provided Queen with another pivotal release that continued their rise to international sensations. Today, it's fondly remembered as one of the band's greatest hits, achieving the same level of fame as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Killer Queen," "Another Bites the Dust" and "Don't Stop Me Now."
