10 Songs That Got More Popular Through Movies

10. Bohemian Rhapsody - Wayne's World

It's already been decided that "Bohemian Rhapsody" is one of the greatest songs of the past century. Ever since its release back in the '70s, Freddie Mercury's brainchild has been blowing minds around the world and inspiring every karaoke singer to humiliate themselves trying to sing the operatic section. The song's presence was already known, but Mike Myers and his buddies ended up giving the entire track a second wind.

Say what you want to about the Wayne's World movie, but the scene where everyone is jamming to "Bohemian Rhapsody" has become a modern staple of cinema. The power that comes with the scene is because it reinforces what we already know about the track. It's not necessarily a new idea for someone to jam out to the song's hard rock sections, but this scene represents everything that's great about rock and roll.

No matter what age you are, every time the song hits the final rock riff, you are right there in the back seat jamming along with Wayne and Garth. "Bohemian Rhapsody" will surely outlast Wayne's World, but when the scene is so good that it's referenced in the Queen biopic of the same name, you know you've done something right.
