10 Rock Songs That Have Obvious Mistakes In Them

10. One Vision - Queen

There's a good chance that anything that Queen decided to make in the mid '80s was going to sell like gangbusters. Coming right off of their career second wind that happened during the Live Aid performance, Freddie Mercury felt like the ultimate frontman, willing to bend the band's sound into the next generation with ease. So for their first song recorded after their stint in Wembley Stadium, Queen came out with all guns blazing... along with a bit of humor in the mix as well.

Coming right after their stadium rock era, One Vision is just the kind of Queen song you would want, with the pounding guitars that came off of songs like Hammer to Fall and put in a more badass context, especially since this was meant to be a part of the eventual Highlander soundtrack. Then again, something this over the top isn't lost on a band like Queen, and there have been many outtakes of them just goofing off in the studio singing anything that comes to mind when they were tracking this.

One of those goof offs did make it into the last line of the song though, as the band keeps building and building until they ask someone to just give them some fried chicken. For a song like this to sound like the ultimate rock anthem, hearing them talk about having a craving for poultry pulls you out of the song so hard that it's almost comical. This isn't the kind of unprofessional sort of comedy either. This is the kind of charming aside that makes you want to hear the track again and again just to see what the hell they were on about.
