    Freddie Mercury LOVED the “Wayne’s World” Bohemian Rhapsody Scene

    Mary Anne ButlerBy Updated:1 Min Read

    We are absolutely delighted to bring you this bit of music (and film) trivia that contains two of our favorite things- “Wayne’s World” and Queen. Arguably one of the most iconic uses of a song in a film, the classic driving sing along “Bohemian Rhapsody” moment continues to be multi-generational delight and right of passage.

    As it turns out, it’s also a moment that the legendary Queen frontman Freddie Mercury was rather fond of.

    This information was shared by Queen’s guitarist Brian May during the most recent episode of Josh Gad‘s YouTube series “Reunited Apart,” all about the 90s comedy classic, “Waynes World.”

    As you can see in the video (towards the end), May describes it:

    “I took it [a VHS of the film Mike Myers gave him] round to Freddie not long before he went and showed it to him. He loved it, he laughed and laughed. He was very weak, but he just smiled and laughed.”

    “I didn’t know that. My little Toronto head can’t handle that. But that’s fantastic,” Myers says in response.

    Although the audio in this episode is pretty rough, we enjoyed it thoroughly.

    Party on!

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
