About the Song
"Play the Game" is a song by Queen, written by Freddie Mercury. It is the first track on the first side of their 1980 album The Game. It commences with a series of overlapping rushing noises on an Oberheim OB-X synthesizer, heralding the band's acceptance of electronic instruments into their once explicitly "no synths" sonic repertoire. They played it in their live shows from 1980 to 1982. The single was a hit in Queen's home country reaching #14 in the charts. In America, however, it gained small response at reaching only #42. The song features a considerably soft vocal by Freddie complimented by a strong G4 rising in pitch all the way to a C5 in mixed voice, contrary to the other C5s being hit in falsetto. The B-side, "A Human Body", has never appeared on any Queen album. The cover of the single, as well as its promotional video, marked the first time Freddie Mercury appeared in either.    Download this sheet!

Sheet music belonging to the instrument piano also consists of incomplete circles connected together by one or a collection of lines.
