Flick Of The Wrist

Biography:

Queen is an English rock band originally consisting of four members: vocalist and pianist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, bass guitarist John Deacon, and drummer Roger Taylor.

The band formed in London in 1970 after May and Taylor's former band Smile split after having released an album and single. Freddie replaced lead vocalist Tim Staffell, after the latter's departure from the original trio.

There was much deliberation as to what the band's name would be.

Flick of the Wrist
Queen
From "Sheer Heart Attack"

"Flick of the Wrist" is in the middle of a medley following "Tenement Funster"
and preceding "Lily of the Valley." The tempo changes between Cut Time (2/2)
in the verses and Common Time (4/4) in the choruses.

The measures below are for counting a slow 4 (76 bpm) in verses and a rapid 4
(152 bpm) in choruses. In reality, it's all 152 bpm, but I find it easier to
switch back and forth if I count it all in 4/4.

(Bridge out of "Tenement Funster")

(Tempo = 76 bpm)
