Recorded October to November 1980 Dino Di Laurentis, a serious and acclaimed
movie director who knew nothing about rock n' roll wanted to make a new sci-fi movie.
Someone told that Queen would be the right choice to write the musical score of the movie,
he listened, and kind of like them. As a very curious fact... in the middle
70's a young director wanted to make a new version of 'Flash Gordon'. He didn't have enough
money to produce it, and his company wasn't big enough. So he decided to work on another
movie written by himself... and his name was, George Lucas.

Flash - Ah - Saviour of the universe
Flash - Ah - He'll save every one of us
Seemingly there is no reason for these
(Extraordinary intergalactical upsets (ha ha ha)
What's happening Flash?
Only Dr Hans Zarkov formerly at NASA
Has provided any explanation)
Flash - Ah - He's a miracle
(This mornings unprecedented solar eclipse
Is no cause for alarm)
Flash - Ah - King of the impossible
He's for every one of us
Stand for every one of us
He'll save with a mighty hand
Every man, every woman, every child
With a mighty Flash
(General Kaka Flash Gordon approaching
What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching?
Open fire all weapons
Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body)
Flash - Ah (Gordon's alive)
Flash - Ah - He'll save every one of us
Just a man with a man's courage
He knows nothing but a man
But he can never fail
No-one but the pure in heart
May find the golden grail oh oh oh oh
(Flash Flash I love you
But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth)
Flash
