k12 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 in this interview Mike Myers said the producers wanted a Guns N' Roses song instead of Bohemian Rhapsody in that infamous scene, I am curous what song, any guesses?—One thing Myers is proud of sticking up for is the “Bohemian Rhapsody” scene in Wayne’s World, his first movie. The producers wanted to replace the classic rock song by Queen with one by Guns N’ Roses, a more popular band in 1991. “I fought really, really hard for it. At one point I said to everybody, ‘Well, I’m out, I don’t want to make this movie if it’s not ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’” he recalled. After the release of the film, the 1975 song went to no. 1 for the second time.https://www.yahoo.com/movies/the-best-revelations-from-mike-myers-wtf-podcast-93234975202.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky_Rose Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I just listened to this in the WTF podcast today. I can't imagine any GNR song working as well as Rhapsody does in that scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Are there other examples of old songs coming back as much as they did in this case? The Journey song from the Sopranos finale comes in mind but it's very rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Journey song from the Sopranos finale comes in mind but it's very rare.Under Pressure was on the radio the other day and it got me thinking about how the Vanilla Ice controversy caused a huge come back for that song, then of course I thought of how Wayne's World affected Bohemian Rhapsody.I was trying to think of other examples and couldn't come up with end but Don't Stop Believin' in The Sopranos is a great example.

It was HUGE again. Good catch with Under Pressure. Funny how Vanilla Ice tries to sell that he didn't copy it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gackt Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'd imagine Dean Martin's Kick in the Head song really took off again after Fallout: New Vegas was released. Can't think of any others at the moment that had as much impact as Wayne's World gave Queen, unless you count things like N'Sync songs when they reunited last year for MTV.

Bohemian Rhapsody is also the only song to hit number one twice in its original form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 My guess is they had Paradise City in mind.It sort of has the same breakdown and head-banging-moment as Bohemian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
