The OST Party

Episode 69: Wayne’s World


Listen Later

This week marks the 30th anniversary of Wayne's World! Not only was this movie spun off from the wildly popular sketches on Saturday Night Live, but Wayne's World was instrumental in reviving Queen's popularity with its iconic "Bohemian Rhapsody" sequence. It hit #1 on the Billboard charts for two straight weeks. It had video games, board games, halloween costumes, and even a roller coaster! 

But for as big a deal as Wayne's World was, the soundtrack kinda fumbles the ball. We've got Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", naturally, but aside from the requisite Alice Cooper and Jimi Hendrix tracks, there's very little to recommend here. Tia Carrere gets to perform a couple of decent cover tunes, but that's about it. You wanna hear about Rhino Bucket? Or BulletBoys? Then this is the podcast for you. Party on!
