It\u2019s also one of the very (very) few SNL based movies that took a great skit and turned it in to a great movie. It didn\u2019t just become a movie, but built its own universe around it. One of the more underrated aspects of \u201cWayne\u2019s World\u201d is how it uses music to tell its story. It implements classic rock and heavy metal to really explore the characters of Wayne and Garth, and how they associate their world with their favorite music.<\/p>\n<p>These are five of my favorite musical breaks in \u201cWayne\u2019s World.\u201d Do you have any of your own?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>No \u201cStairway to Heaven\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>For many years it argued to be just an urban legend, but as I\u2019ve witnessed, there are two riffs music stores won\u2019t let you play with a guitar. One of them is the opening riff to Deep Purple\u2019s \u201cSmoke on the Water,\u201d and Led Zeppelin\u2019s \u201cStairway to Heaven.\u201d It\u2019s often enforced. It\u2019s also a hilarious in-joke from the writers to music lovers as a very early \u201cIYKYK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cassandra Sings \u201cFire\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>One of the best aspects of being introduced to Tia Carrere is her great voice, which works for every song she covers during the film. When Wayne first sees her, his instant love for her drops to \u201cDreamweaver,\u201d while she emphasizes the reason why Wayne falls for her with a killer cover of Hendrix\u2019s \u201cFire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8Qi3JERmk9E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Garth likes to Play Drums<br \/>\n<\/strong>Dana Carvey is a rather skilled professional drummer, and in \u201cWayne\u2019s World\u201d he and his character are able to grab the spotlight and show off for a bit. I was wholly unaware of what an amazing drummer he was back in 1992, and here he just destroys his scene with an immense drum solo. It\u2019s inexplicable, and we never learn why he didn\u2019t pursue drumming professionally. It does, however, serve a great purpose in emphasizing how unpredictable Garth can be.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Garth and \u201cFoxy Lady\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>Oddly enough while we don\u2019t get a resolution to the storyline, Garth\u2019s reluctance to talk to his dream girl at the coffee shop is one of the funnier sub-plots of the movie. Garth has a relentless infatuation with the waitress who happens to be his ideal girl (Donna Dixon), and while fawning over her he envisions himself serenading her to Jimi Hendrix\u2019s excellent \u201cFoxy Lady.\u201d It\u2019s another beautifully staged moment giving larger, well deserved focus to Carvey\u2019s Garth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/thyJOnasHVE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d Sing Along<br \/>\n<\/strong>One of the most iconic movie scenes of the 90\u2019s, one of the best movie sing along moments of all time, and one of the funniest scenes in comedy. \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d was already a classic but \u201cWayne\u2019s World\u201d rejuvenated its popularity in the decade, as a classic road trip rock epic. The \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d sing along perfectly establishes our duo of every men, two rock loving guys who enjoy what we all enjoy doing with our buds: Singing along to great music while driving around. The sing along (whether in short form or the extended form for the music video) is an absolute classic moment in \u201cWayne\u2019s World,\u201d one that the Queen anthem will forever be associated with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1992\u2019s \u201cWayne\u2019s World\u201d is considered a classic and is, without a doubt, one of my all time favorite comedies.
