- You Are the Champion
You Are the Champion is a cover version of Queen's iconic
We Are the Champions , which was originally written byFreddie Mercury in1977 . Often used during sporting events, especially for victory celebrations, a special version was recorded by Scorpions and Michael Kleitmann in honor ofMichael 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 bySonyBMG . The song however didn't become any notable hit, barely charting on theGerman 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.Tracklisting on the CD-single
