The song got renewed life in 1992 when it was featured in the movie “Wayne’s World.” It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2004. “Bohemian Rhapsody,” from Queen’s album “A Night At The Opera,” was Queen’s first Top 10 hit in the United States and topped the charts in the UK for nine consecutive weeks, a record at the time. “We are so proud to represent Queen and are thrilled to see the song still inspiring new fans around the world more than four decades after its release,” he said.
In a statement, chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group Sir Lucian Grainge called “Bohemian Rhapsody” “one the greatest songs by one of the greatest bands in history.” The singular song, which combines elements of balladry, opera and hard rock, returned to the Billboard Hot 100 last month. The video spliced together clips from Queen’s original Bohemian Rhapsody promotional video and footage of the band performing it, together with scenes from the film, Waynes World, where Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey) headbang in the car to the rock section of the song.
The movie has grossed almost $600 million worldwide and is nominated for two Golden Globes. The six-minute song likely received a bump thanks to the recent release of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the Queen biopic that stars Rami Malek as singer Freddie Mercury. People can't stop listening to 'Bohemian Rhapsody' Then, in 1992, Mike Myers used Bohemian Rhapsody as the rambunctious centerpiece of the indelible opening scene of the film, Wayne’s World, which had been adapted from a Saturday Night Live sketch of the same name, and gave the song and the band behind it an unprecedented second life.
