Under Pressure - David Bowie/Freddy Mercury

The song is a divine marriage of Freddy's powerful presence and David Bowie's eternal coolness. It marks a place on my 100 most favorite tunes of all time. It is timeless and relevant - despite the fact that both artists are deceased. I love it not just because of because of the novelty of hearing these two mega stars coming together, but to do so on a track and over lyrics that posses and overwhelming "everyman" quality.- Its the kind of song you instinctively turn up when it comes on. It is the kind of song to sing along too, take a measure of comfort from.

My 11 year old daughter has recently discovered Queen and this song numbers among her favorites. She's not 100% sold on Bowie yet but I'm giving her the time to discover him in her own time. She has a pretty refined musical pallet and I know she will get there. I feel like "Under Pressure" could be the gateway tune to Ziggy and the Spiders from Mars...
