Wayne’s World Brought it Back to Life
Remember the famous scene in Wayne’s World where they were headbanging to the song in their car? In 1992, when the movie came out, the song’s popularity was renewed. The film’s director, Penelope Spheeris, was hesitant to use the song because it didn’t really fit with the lead characters.

But Mike Myers, who played Wayne, insisted that the song fit the scene for personal reasons. Mike Meyers grew up listening to Queen, and he would sing with his brother in their car, headbanging to “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
