Lead

It was written by Peter Svensson, and Sam Hollander in collaboration with Lukasz 'Dr. Luke' Gottwald, Henry 'Circut' Walter, and Allan 'Kool Kojak' Grigg, the producers. →
It came together in a single-day collaboration: Grigg worked out its beat, Hollander conceptualised its title, and the melody "just came". → The song was created in one day: Grigg conceptualised the beat, Hollander thought the name of the song and the melody "just came".
to that of Queen 1977 single "We Will Rock You". → to that of the Queen single "We Will Rock You" (1997).
- All done — Robin (talk) 19:46, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Background and conception

Co-producers Lukasz 'Dr. Luke' Gottwald and Henry 'Circut' Walter ended up with writing credits on the finished recording too, as the sound of a song has as much to do with its identity.[1] → Why? The last part doesn't make much sense.
- Better? — Robin (talk) 19:46, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Composition and lyrical interpretation

of Queen 1977 single "We Will Rock You". → same as in lead, you need "the"
According to the digital sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, → You don't need this bit.
- Actually, I think the article does due to the same exact reason that you wrote below. — Robin (talk) 19:46, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, no one includes this. It's pointless prose. — AARON • ^TALK 21:05, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Removed — Robin (talk) 21:19, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
F4 to C6 Unless one of them does a high "woo" exclamation, I find this very difficult to believe. Musicnotes are either right or wrong in their vocal range for the song. But oh well, it's sourced, so nothing I can do about it lol.

Chart history

Remove history lol
- Changed to chart performance. 'Chart' sounds so monotone and boring. — Robin (talk) 19:46, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
