They Wanted Guns n’ Roses
The producers of Wayne’s World actually wanted to use a Guns n’ Roses song instead, but Meyers said it’s not what he grew up on and insisted on Queen. He wanted it to be original and authentic. He ended up winning the battle, and they used the song in the infamous car scene.

Funnily enough, Mike Meyers went full circle with his small role in the new film. He plays an EMI executive. He even has a line where he says the song would never be a one that people will love and bang their heads to in a car. A Very clever choice of casting and writing for those who are fans of Wayne’s World.
