Audition Materials

We Will Rock You – Audition Materials. 

The guide track will give you something you can practise along with and the backing track should be used to record along to in your audition video. If you are auditioning for a different part that involves singing, then choose any of these 3 songs as your audition piece. For call backs for Galileo and Scaramouche we would like to hear Who Wants To Live Forever.

Galileo

I want to break free. Verse and chorus. Roughly 57 seconds in the backing track. Lyrics are :-

I want to break free I want to break free I want to break free from your lies You’re so self satisfied I don’t need you I’ve got to break free God knows God knows I want to break free It’s strange but it’s true, hey! I know I’m different, there’s so much I have to do But I have to be sure When I walk out that door Oh how I want to be free baby Oh how I have to be free Oh how I want to break free.

Scaramouche

Somebody to Love. Verse and chorus. Roughly 49 seconds in the track. Lyrics are :-

Can anybody find me somebody to love? Each morning I get up I die a little Can barely stand on my feet (take a look at yourself) Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry) Lord, what you doing to me I spent all my years to believe in you But I just can’t get no relief, Lord Somebody (somebody), ooh somebody (somebody) Can anybody find me somebody to love Important – the first line of this is pretty tricky to time with the backing track provided. We are happy if members want to come in with the ‘each morning’ lyric if they are struggling to figure out where to start.

Killer Queen

Another one bites the dust. Track to roughly around 45 seconds. Lyrics are :-

Killer Queen walks warily down the street With her brim pulled way down low Ain’t no sound but the sound of her feet Machine guns ready to go Are you ready, are you ready for this Are you hanging on the edge of your seat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone and another one gone Another one bites the dust, eh Hey, I’m gonna get you too Another one bites the dust Important – This version is fairly different from the original full show version. We are happy for octaves to be changed where appropriate. The main thing we are looking for through this number is a strong character and attitude.

Who wants to live forever (Galileo, and Scaramouche call backs)

This can also be used as an audition piece for those not auditioning for any of the 3 above parts. Happy to use the whole track for this one. Lyrics are :-

Scaramouche: There’s no time for us There’s no place for us What is this thing that builds our dreams Yet slips away from us Who wants to live forever Both: Who wants to live forever Who Scaramouche: But touch my tears with your lips Galileo: Touch my world with your fingertips Both: And we can have forever And we can love forever Galileo: Forever is ours today Both: Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever Scaramouche: Forever is ours Galileo: Who waits forever, anyway?
