Fantasy Theme Will Rock You

Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
Playing in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on your face
You big disgrace
Kickin' your can all over the place
Singin'
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you
Buddy you're a young man hard man
Shouting in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on your face
A big disgrace
Wavin' your Banner all over the place
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you
Buddy you're an old man poor man
Pleading with your eyes gonna make you some peace some day
You got mud on your face
Big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

When one goes to a sports event, one will typically expect to hear a rousing song to get the crowd and the athletes motivated. A perfect song for this type of atmosphere is “We Will Rock You” by Queen. Queen’s song shows symbolic convergence because when people think of this song, they think of sport events and getting “pumped” for an event. Whether it is cleaning the house, or playing football, everyone knows that this song is a motivator. It is interesting, because the lyrics to the song do not necessarily give off a motivational tone, but regardless, it is known worldwide as the sports song for the century.

When examining the artifact carefully, one can find the three references to setting, character, and action themes.

The setting is where the action takes place, or the characteristics of the places in which the action occurs. In this song, the setting theme would be the street. I would also say the world, but I am not sure. That is really the only settings that are mentioned in the song.

The character themes for this song would be Buddy (as a Boy, a Young Man, and an Old Man), and We (The Narrator). In this song, I know that there are some nonhuman entities, but I am not sure who or what they are. I suppose an example of that would be “You got mud on your face” would be an example.

When it comes to the action, in this song, the action is “Playing in the street/kicking your can/shouting in the street/wavin’ you banner/pleading with you eyes”.
