A Kind of Magic (song)

The phrase "a kind of magic" is actually used in the film by Christopher Lambert and impressed Taylor so much that he made it into a full song.

Queen recorded the song intended for the final title sequence of the film with a rock mix, and later Freddie Mercury re-mixed it for the album A Kind Of Magic, making it more of a pop song rather than the rockier version heard in the film.

The song was a Top 10 hit in the UK in 1986 and was a live favourite on the tour of the same year, which proved to be Queen's last with the original foursome.
