I wish this had been my first exposure to the Bohemian Rhapsody. No, I had to find it via Wayne's World.
I love the Muppets. I still casually reference that second guy's "singing" once in a while. My family gets it, but it does draw some odd looks other places. :)
I don't even remember when I first heard Bohemian Rhapsody, according to my mom I was in my cradle at the time and crying but shut up on hearing it. I guess I literally grew up with Queen :-) They remain one of my alltime favourite bands to this day. Wayne's World wasn't a bad way of introducing a new generation to the song.
Manamanah, the second song, is probably as close to a 'Geek Anthem' as you can get. Of course, you're not really a geek unless you dig the Muppets, but that song has a special place in the hearts of (computer) geeks across the globe :-)
Apparently I am sometimes such a geek-noob. I love the mahna-mahna song, but I had never associated with anything geek. I know it as the closing tune from a radio program. 'Langs de lijn' maybe? Which is a sport program, an therefore quite the opposite :)
Also, the Muppet Show was not around in 1969 yet, was it? I can vaguely remember the first time it came on TV. And since I was born in 1969 that would be quite impossible.

1969?
ReplyDeleteThat's the birthyear of Sesame Street.
Don't believe everything you see on Youtube Phè
The Muppet Show premiered in 1976. :-)
The song isn't loved by just Geeks, but I have yet to find a Geek who doesn't love it.
Ah, ok. *phew* I was afraid I had to hand in my geek badge.
