Killer Queen

J.W.Pepper Editor's Choice Arrangement! One of Queen's most iconic songs! This chart features a lengthy tenor or alto solo, with the choir switching back and forth between backup and lead. Playful and cheeky, it's a multi-generational favorite that works best in a comp set as a change-of-pace. Electric guitar takes the lead in the band, with big brass parts adding to the grandeur of the instrumental breaks. Combine voicings to accommodate a costume change!

Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/1 Tbn/Alto, Tenor Sax

Preview:

She keeps Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake" she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minor
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined

Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild

She's out to get you
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable in appetite
Wanna try?

(Queen)
