Somehow I never heard the song Under Pressure before the movie Bohemian Rhapsody.
Out of all the songs mentioned so far, “Bohemian Rhapsody” is the only one I’ve ever heard of.
Yeah, unaware of it pre-kerfuffle, too.
I had heard a cool song that sounded like new order in the early 90s only once on the radio and spent 15 years remembering the chorus even though I had seen the title 50 times on things like Napster I never actually played the song…
Until I was watching someone’s new order playlist about a few years ago on youtube … that song was “regret”
Another one is weird al Yankovic did the main theme/opening credits for the mike Keaton movie johnny dangerously called “this is the life” …Well, I never knew that because when it was my favorite movie for a while on VHS because they changed it to a cole porter song due to a rights issue and it didn’t get restored to DVD until the 2000s … I happened to see it mentioned under trivia on the IMDB website and thought I knew something no one else did and found out it was a sort of popular song for a bit …
