Social media is abuzz with the hashtag #millennialclassicrock, a game in which Twitter users update the lyrics of famous classic rock songs to reflect the sensibilities of a younger generation.
Fans got clever, with puns, rhymes and other modern twists on classic rock lyrics that ran the gamut but focused largely on topics like technology, the economy and social interactions. The tweets put bands like Queen, Blue Oyster Cult and the Police in the spotlight.
Tweets abounded with updates to Queen's "We Are the Champions," their mega-hit from 1977's News of the World, with a variety of stabs on the same idea. @mellowturtle suggested "We All Are the Champions," while @jdarlenem wrote "We aren't the champions but we still deserve a trophy."

2nd best lyric ever — can NEVER be improved:
“I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.”
Best? Actually 2 stanzas:
“I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you
“Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You’d know what a drag it is
To see you.”
As always IMHO.
How about “I wanna Rock and Roll Till Ten O’Clock’?..............

Some of the fun stuff is the hybridization of it.
Like mixing Black Sabbath and The Who
Who Are You? Paranoid?
“Your momma don’t dance, but your daddy’s now a girl....”

Of course!
Most of the best “Classic Rockers were conservative Christians, and their work reflected their beliefs.
Can’t have that, can we!
