Queen for a Day - Bohemian Rhapsody

I wonder if, really, anything needs to be said here. Has there been a song about which more has been written over the years?
We know about Freddie adding more and more "Galileos". We know about playing it on RTB's glass piano. We know about...everything.
If you aren't familiar with it, you weren't alive during the last quarter century.
My favorite nugget about BoRhap comes from Wayne's World. Before 1992 i still felt as though being a Queen fan was like being Kurt Hummel in Glee. Then, boom. Queen was cool. And then Freddie's song "Barcelona" Became the theme to the Olympics and vindication was at hand. Then Metallica and Axl Rose played Queen songs at The Concert for Life.
And Queen fans in America never needed to hide their heads again.
