Let it Be Known
In case some of you didn’t grow up watching “Saturday Night Live,” it should be known that the ”Wayne’s World” movies were adapted from an SNL sketch of the same name from the late ‘80s. And after this iconic scene in the movie was put out into the world and adored by fans everywhere, both the band and the song were given a second life.

Wayne’s act of simply popping a cassette tape into his friend Garth’s AMC Pacer, not only returned Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” to the radio waves, but it also led to the song’s rise to No.2 on the pop charts. And this is despite the fact that Freddie Mercury had died of AIDS less than three months before the movie was released.
