A commercial for the new Sonos Playbar features not only a very familiar tune, but a familiar film scene as well. It shouldn't take the average rock fan too long to note that Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is blasting out as the soundtrack, but for your eyes, they have included the famous scene from the 1992 movie 'Wayne's World' where the carload of misfits are bopping along to the Queen classic.

Steven Thoen, also known as Red due to his hair and wardrobe, explained his desire to sing on TV thusly: "I like competition, and I figured I would, what the heck, take a chance." Prior to his performance he claimed to be as good as Freddie Mercury, and was anxious to show off his chops on the Queen classic 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'
ITV recently ramped up to their 60th anniversary with a poll to determine which U.K. No. 1 single was deemed the best of all-time. Recently the list was narrowed to ten finalists, and Queen can now say they've come out on top.
If there's any film star/recording artist you could conceivably expect to see onstage belting out background vocals on a Queen song being covered by a band dedicated to releasing concept albums inspired by the 'Mega Man' video game franchise, it's Jack Black of Tenacious D.
Released in 1975, Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' must be one of the oddest songs to ever become not just a hit, but practically a part of our daily lives.
Like many other classic rock songs before and after it, Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' will never die. Hot on the heels of being performed on 'American Idol' last night, the song is treated to a car ride sing-a-long by three adorable kids.
Like it or not, worldwide fame (or infamy) is now only a viral video away from any one of us -- and once you've attained that fame, it can be hard to let it go and return to your ordinary life. Case in point: Robert Wilkinson, the man whose marvelously drunken rendition of 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' delivered in the back of a Canadian cop car, made him a social media superstar last week.
Move over, Adam Lambert! Our choice for Queen's new lead singer is here in the form of an (allegedly) intoxicated man arrested somewhere in Canada, who responds by singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' -- every bit of it -- in the back of a police car.
