"Thank God It's Christmas" is a Christmas single by the British rock band Queen. It was written by lead guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. Released on 26 November 1984, the single spent six weeks in the UK charts over Christmas 1984 and new year of 1985, and reached number 21.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chart Stats - Queen - Thank God It's Christmas )〕 The song was not originally released on any Queen studio album, appearing only on Queen's ''Greatest Hits III'', released in 1999, and as the B-side of the single "A Winter's Tale" from the 1995 album ''Made in Heaven''. However, the track was finally included on the bonus EP packaged with the deluxe edition of their album ''The Works'', remastered and re-released in 2011. No promotional video was filmed for the track, hampering its future use on music TV channels. For that reason it is a lesser known Christmas single. The song appears on several Christmas compilation albums. One of them is the original ''Now That's What I Call Christmas'' compilation released in 1985 but deleted in 1989. It appears on the Christmas compilation LP ''The Edge Of Christmas'' in its full 12" version with the drum intro. It also appears on the US-only compilation boxed-set ''The Queen Collection'', which consisted of a re-release of the LPs ''Classic Queen'' and ''Queen's Greatest Hits'' along with a bonus CD called ''Queen Talks'' that included this song, along with a 1989 interview with the band. ==Track listings== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thank God It's Christmas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
