Freddie acknowledged that perhaps his limited talent on the guitar helped shape the song: "'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' took me five or ten minutes. I did that on the guitar, which I can't play for nuts, and in one way it was quite a good thing because I was restricted, knowing only a few chords. It's a good discipline because I simply had to write within a small framework. I couldn't work through too many chords and because of that restriction I wrote a good song, I think."

Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Freddie Mercury wrote this while Queen were recording The Game in
Germany. He wrote it while taking a bubble bath in his room at the
Munich Hilton. Peter Hince, the head of Queen's road crew, recalled to Mojo
magazine September 2009: "The idea for the song came to him while he
was in the bath. He emerged, wrapped in a towel, I handed him the guitar
and he worked out the chords there and then. Fred had this knack of
knowing a great pop song."
