I'm sure I'd heard a lot of Queen songs before it, I grew up hanging out at a pop radio station with my Dad. But I can remember this song because they played it every time I went to the skating rink, it was HUGE.
It came out before I was born, but I remember hearing it on the radio and seeing the Terminator at a young age (younger than I was supposed to ;)), where the song was played as Arnie blasted Sarah Connor's roommate and boyfriend.

LaCrosse, WI...$5 tickets...went with some friends. Had never heard any of their music until I got there. Can't remember what they played first. Kansas opened for them.
I was 11 at the time and had just moved to a new country where they had a program showing the top 50 singles that my sister and I used to watch faithfully every weekend. "Bohemian Rhapsody" had just been re-released in the aftermath of Freddie Mercury's untimely death and the video was being shown on the chart singles program. My sister and I really liked the song and she asked me to get her a Queen tape for her birthday. So I did and my love affair with Queen started
I remember hearing that back in 5th grade. We had a homework assignment where we were to bring in poetry as represented in music and then some of us would be selected to read our 'poems' we chosed. Mine was Bohemian Rhapsody - I love that song!
