00:00Mama!
00:05I don't want to die!
00:07Bohemian Rhapsody, that song, it was known long before Wainsworld, we agree.
00:12But it was no longer fashionable at all for the film Wainsworld, and Mike Myers insists
00:16to use the song in the film, but the studio refuses.
00:19Again.
00:20They find the song too long, too strange, too old, and they want another song.
00:24Queen's song is much shorter and much easier to play on the radio.
00:28But Mike Myers threatens them, he tells them like this
00:30"Well, listen, if you don't want to use this song, then I'm quitting everything!"
00:33And since it was a threat the likes of which you've never seen,
00:36Well, the studio gave in.
00:37And the car headbanging scene is filmed really as a joke.
00:41And it instantly became a cult classic.
00:43After the film's release, Bohemian Rhapsody went straight back into the world charts.
00:48nearly 20 years after its original release.
00:50And Brian Mea would later say that Wainsworth gave the song a second life.
00:55that nobody had foreseen.
