Tear It Up
"Invalid Item" Open in new Window. | Day 1
"Tear It Up" by Queen

I usually devote most of my "Invalid Item" Open in new Window. entries every year to new music that I've discovered, rather than classics that I find myself returning to after a time. But I had to start this year's challenge with this one because it's just such an energetic song, and the perfect way to kick off a playlist. Queen was never one of my favorite bands growing up, but they have some truly iconic songs that you know from the moment they start playing, and this certainly qualifies. I actually started listening to this again after a rewatch of Ted Lasso, where it was featured on the soundtrack at an end of one of the episodes. I added it to my annual playlist after that and have been listening to it ever since.

When I was looking for YouTube videos featuring this song, I ultimately just landed on the band's official lyric video because I figure those are the least likely to be removed sometime in the future, but I did go down a bit of a rabbit hole watching Queen's live performances over the years and it made me realize all over again what a tragic loss Freddie Mercury was for the world. That man was a phenomenal entertainer.

Anyway, this is it... my first official "Invalid Item" Open in new Window. playlist entry for the year!
