You guys keep mentioning Wayne's World I just never watch silly movies and I'm certain it's just a goofy movie. Is it really THAT GREAT??? I only watch serious movies. If people and cars aren't being blown up then I just get bored. Do I really need to watch this???

[capetowntrikeman]

I still cannot understand how any person on this planet above the age of 20, has not yet heard this song...???

Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most sophisticated pieces of music written in the 20th century of any genre of music.

You don't listen to Queen. You EXPERIENCE Queen.

[tonyhaynes]

I may be an old fart at 63, but at least I grew up with the best possible musical era, 70-90s. Kids these days just don't experience what we did, and how much the music of today owes to the music of yesterday.

Every Brit has to know this song before they are issued a passport

[AllStars]

People said if you haven't listened Bohemian Raphsody with headphones, your ears are still virgins. 😊

[JonInCanada]

This was done before autotune or multiple writers. When music was truly art.

[trentriver]

Brian May, playing the lead guitar is actually Dr. Brian May - he has a PhD in astrophysics.

I loved your reaction. You had the look of an excited child in a candy store not knowing what to chose and you listened without stopping every 3 seconds. Awesome job.

[Jeff-ipev]

Love how the look on your face is just like, "this is too much to comprehend"...welcome to our world!

[andrear.bordon]

This song is considered the best of the twentieth century ... there are plenty of reasons

[karenj]

You have really been missing out. As a child born in the 50's and raised in the 60s and 70's, we almost tend to take for granted all of the phenomenal music we grew up listening to. It's truly been amazing

A rhapsody is a single movement of music comprised of several different pieces of music that all follow a particular theme, generally without a chorus. Bohemian refers to being unconventional, in an artistic way. The rhapsody breaks down here as 1. the crime 2. the judgement and 3. the escape. Hence the conclusion of nothing really matters. What it all means, Freddie never said but there is lots of specualtion available about it. I prefer to take the Marilyn Manson approach on things like this where he said "Art is a question, not an answer." Good reaction, thank you.

I really got a vicarious rush watching you discover this great old tune!
I can't try to describe this song any more now then we could 40 years ago!
True greatness.
Rock on Man!!!

[melissarichardson]

It is a joy seeing people discover Queen. I was lucky enough to see them in 1976 and 1977. I was so in love with Freddie as was everyone, male and female, in the audience. Massive catalogue. Dive in and enjoy.

[amandanapps]

This guy was legit shook!
I felt kinda bad that he's an adult and never heard it! My daughter was like 4 and did all four voices, two drum solos, and the guitar.

[christinerobinson]

Greatest song ever written. It has over 1 billion views on YouTube. You're in for a helluva ride with Queen

[trgoohileshea]

It's a rock opera about a murder trial. The opening, the accusation, the trial, the conclusion. They are all interwoven into one of the greatest rock songs ever written.

Some songs are for 3 minutes, some songs are for a decade, some songs are for a lifetime, some songs are eternal. Bohemian Rhapsody is from the last ones.
