#5 Another One Bites The Dust
This song is without a doubt one of Queen’s most popular songs and has been used, and continues to be included, in various television shows and movies.
In Bohemian Rhapsody, “Another One Bites The Dust” is played in the background as a couple of band mates have a disagreement. Lyrics are later added and we see snippets of the performance as the movie continues, but not a full version. It works, though, as the song does serve better as a soundtrack in the back.
#4 Killer Queen
Much like “Another One Bites The Dust,” the classic “Killer Queen” also plays as the film rolls on to feature sequences of Queen’s rise to stardom. The lyrics fit the scenes that play and the clips of Freddie Mercury singing are appreciated and perfectly timed.
#3 We Will Rock You
Had this song simply played in the background as many others did, Bohemian Rhapsody would have failed Queen’s many fans. “We Will Rock You” was created for the fans, after all. Audiences were meant to sing and rock along with Queen, and they sure do!
The film shows the making of the song, how every beat and tune came to be, and we get to see it in a performance, as well.
#2 Bohemian Rhapsody
To be honest, I was expecting “Bohemian Rhapsody” to be the show stealer in the film. The movie begins with Malek’s Freddie Mercury pumping himself up to perform at Live Aid before diving back to where it all begin.
Just like “We Will Rock You,” the movie also gives us an inside look at how “Bohemian Rhapsody” was put together, except, we see all the details. Literally, just about every note and lyric. It’s one of the best scenes in the entire film (the most hilarious, too!).
The journey of composing “Bohemian Rhapsody” is very engaging, an amazing moment fans won’t soon forget. But there’s another song that brought viewers to tears.

#1 We Are The Champions
That’s right, it’s “We Are The Champions” that gives us the feels and brings on the waterworks. I suppose I should have known the best and most emotional performance would be this one. Still, even knowing won’t prepare you the moving presentation of the song. It’s the perfect way to close the movie.
Bohemian Rhapsody is in theaters this Friday, November 2. Don’t miss it! This is a movie you have to watch in theaters for the experience. Which songs are you most excited to listen to?
