SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:37 Min.
Recorded by Queen for the 1986 Highlander film, this upbeat rock track later made its CD debut in 1991 upon A Kind of Magic’s re-release. Joan Armatrading makes a vocal cameo.
REVIEW:
Considering its dark humor re: Highlander’s premise, this up-tempo track is actually pretty catchy. Another asset is that it stands out more than some of the album’s filler efforts: “Friends Will Be Friends” and “Pain is So Close to Pleasure.” In that context, “Don’t Lose Your Head” has potential as a solo download. Since there aren’t any movie dialogue clips included, it could readily pass as a regular Queen song of the mid-80’s.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 7 Stars
