On this day in 1981, the Queen & David Bowie single “Under Pressure” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #8 (November 14)

Legend has it that long before they were massively famous, Freddie Mercury sold David Bowie a pair of boots, when he had his Kensington Markets stall.

Many years down the track, Bowie and Queen met up by chance in the studio, had a few drinks, and decided to write a song together.
“Under Pressure” is the fantastic result of that collaboration.

Queen was at at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland, working on their 1982 album Hot Space, while David Bowie was also at Mountain recording his vocals for "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)", the title song for the 1982 horror film of the same name.

Everyone contributed to the song, but Freddie was the song's primary musical songwriter, and Brian May recalled to Mojo magazine in October 2008 that “David took over the song lyrically.”

It also produced one of the most memorable, recognizable and iconic bass riffs of all time, which was later stolen by Vanilla Ice for his “Ice Ice Baby” hit (for which Bowie and Queen later received songwriting credit).

Interestingly, the riff was almost lost, according to Roger Taylor in the “Days of our Lives” documentary.
The story goes that Queen bass player John Deacon came up with the riff, but then the band went for pizza before coming back to continue rehearsals.
Upon returning, Deacon had completely forgotten his idea!
Luckily, Taylor eventually remembered how it went…

The timeless track with the timeless message has been critically acclaimed as one of both Queen and Bowie's best songs, with some even considering it one of the greatest songs of all time.

“Under Pressure" was listed at #31 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the '80s, and voted the second best collaboration of all time in a poll by Rolling Stone magazine.

In 2021 it was ranked #429 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

On this day in 1977, the Blondie single “In The Flesh” peaked on the Australian charts at #2 (November 14)

Interestingly, this was Blondie’s first world commercial success, which started when “Countdown” mistakenly played their video "In the Flesh", which was the B-side of their current single "X-Offender".

When “In The Flesh” eventually reached #2 on the charts in November 1977 in its own right, Australia became the first territory in which Blondie achieved a hit single.

In Ian Meldrum's 2014 autobiography, Debbie Harry elaborated saying "We met Ian in 1977... he asked if we had any videos [and] we gave him videos for "X Offender" and "In the Flesh".

On Countdown, they were meant to play "X Offender", but they played "In the Flesh" instead. So our success in Australia was one big mistake."

Keyboard player Jimmy Destri later said “we still thank him to this day" for playing the wrong song.

In a 1998 interview, drummer Clem Burke recalled seeing the episode in which the wrong song was played, but he and Chris Stein suggested that it actually may have been a deliberate subterfuge on the part of Molly...

On this day in 1977, the Graham Bonnet single “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” peaked on the Australian charts at #3 (November 14)

The English singer with the big voice was extremely popular in Australia in the late ‘70s, and this excellent cover version of the 1965 Bob Dylan song, from Bonnet’s self-titled LP, was a big hit Down Under.

Graham Bonnet’s “It’s All Over Now Baby Blue” also peaked at #3 in New Zealand, but failed to chart anywhere else in the world…

The following year Bonnet’s single "Warm Ride", written by the Bee Gees, a leftover from the Saturday Night Fever sessions, reached #2 in Australia.

This week in 1978, the Cars single “My Best Friend’s Girl” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #10 (November 11)

The song from their self-titled debut LP peaked at a modest #35 in the US, but was The Cars highest-charting single in the UK, peaking at #3.

It was also the first picture disc available commercially in the UK.

It wasn’t a huge hit on the charts elsewhere, peaking at #40 in the Netherlands, #55 in Canada, and #67 in Australia, but is a firm favourite of Cars fans everywhere.

Written by Ric Ocasek, “My Best Friend’s Girl” is a song with a theme Ric thought many could relate to:
“I just figured having a girlfriend stolen was probably something that happened to a lot of people."

The song first appeared in 1977 on a demo tape (along with "Just What I Needed") that made its way to Boston radio stations WCOZ and WBCN.

DJ Maxanne Sartori, who was given the tapes of these songs by Ric Ocasek, recalled, "I began playing the demos of 'Just What I Needed' and 'My Best Friend's Girl' in March during my weekday slot, from 2 to 6 p.m. Calls poured in with positive comments."

Unsurprisingly they became the stations' most requested songs…
