While Peter Frampton's "Show me the way" has it's merits it was Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" that ended up the winner. "Wayne's World" re-launched the Queen hit in 1992 and that's the context I usually remember it in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-61943905439893838872014-03-01T11:53:17.265-08:002014-03-01T11:53:17.265-08:00R.I.P. to the memory of the great Robert W.
