Bohemian Rhapsody

You very well may remember “Bohemian Rhapsody” from the first time it charted.  It was, after all, Queen’s first top ten hit on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 9 in April of 1976.  You may also remember it for the cult status that it and its video, which is featured above, enjoyed in the decades following that chart run.

You may also, though, remember the song for its prominent use in the film Wayne’s World in 1992.  It was on the strength of that film cameo that “Bohemian Rhapsody” re-entered the Hot 100, this time outdistancing its previous appearance when, exactly 20 years ago today, it rose to a peak position of number 2.
