"Stone Cold Crazy" is a song written and performed by British rock band Queen for their 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack.[7] It is a rare, early example of all four members sharing a writing credit. (The band did not formally credit the whole band until 1986.) Although the song was not released as a single at the time, it was performed live at almost every Queen concert from 1974 to 1978.[8][9][10][11] "Stone Cold Crazy" is included on the band's 1992 compilation album, Classic Queen and was released as a promo single in that year by Hollywood Records.[12][13]
