You Are the Champion

You Are the Champion

You Are the Champion is a cover version of Queen's iconic We Are the Champions, which was originally written by Freddie Mercury in 1977. Often used during sporting events, especially for victory celebrations, a special version was recorded by Scorpions and Michael Kleitmann in honor of Michael Schumacher winning his seventh F1 Formula One Championship. The song was slightly re-written, most notably changing it from "We" to "You" which is naturally a reference to Schumacher. The version of the song was released as a single "You Are the Champion (Homage to Michael Schumacher)" on September 20, 2004 by SonyBMG. The song however didn't become any notable hit, barely charting on the German Singles Chart, peaking at number 92. It was subsequently included on the album "Stand Up For The Champion - Michael Schumacher" which was released to his successful career when he decided to leave the Formula One Racing.
