Please excuse someone who is young and foolish for asking this question. I do not know this myself, and those I ask give conflicting responses: which came first, the Queen song “We Will Rock You”, or the habit of stomping twice on the bleachers, then clapping once, at various sporting events?

The Queen song, oh young and foolish one.  
I wonder sometimes if the clappers and stompers know the sexual preferences of Queen. 😃  
All that testosterone!!!

I only know two things;  
I know what I need to know  
And  
I know what I want to know
