Yeah.
Yeah.
I, you can't say enough about the Bohemian Rhapsody scene. That was the takeaway from this movie for the masses. That's why it was a big hit. And I think it's really interesting because if you, you have some of it in the research, like Myers insisted that it was Bohemian Rhapsody. It was a queen song. It's old at that point. It's not a nineties song. Myers loves everything British.

And then allegedly there was pushback from Lorne Michaels who wanted it to be a welcome to the jungle. And Myers eventually won. And I think he won. I'll tell you why. I saw this movie at 13 years old. I had never heard Bohemian Rhapsody in my life. I didn't know what the hell that song was. I don't know, this Beelzebub and all that shit they're talking about and the headbanging was crazy to me.

And a kind of a cool thing, like when the Bohemian Rhapsody movie came out with Rami Malek, I, through the NFL, got to interview the four guys in the band, like Rami Malek and the three other dudes. Yeah. And I asked them, I said, so when did you guys first hear Queen's music? And these are pretty erudite, smart, like mostly British actors outside of Rami.

And I thought they'd be like, oh, you know, my vinyl collection of my father. Every single one in the band said Wayne's World, Wayne's World, Wayne's World. I all heard Rami Malek won an Oscar playing Freddie Mercury. And he first heard Freddie Mercury in the Murphmobile in Wayne's World. That is so cool. That's a big deal.

Yeah, exactly. And it made me think, like, if you could have picked a better song in 1992, and I was thinking, like, if they had dropped Smells Like Teen Spirit in that scene, would that have totally changed the movie? It came out in 91. They're probably shooting the movie in 91.

It would have worked and been cool, but there was something timeless and nostalgic about Bohemian Rhapsody that just worked, and Myers was right.
