VIDEO: National Ballet Celebrates 40th Anniversary of Queen Classic 'Bohemian Rhapsody'

In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the hit 1970's song "Bohemian Rhapsody," two dancers from the English National Ballet perform a special dance to the Queen classic. Check it out below!

Bohemian Rhapsody" was written by Freddie Mercury for the band's 1975 studio album A Night at the Opera. The six-minute song became a commercial success, staying at the top of the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks and selling more than a million copies by the end of January 1976. It reached number one again in 1991 for another five weeks when the same version was re-released, eventually becoming the UK's third best-selling single of all time. In the United States the song originally peaked at number nine in 1976. It returned to the chart at number two in 1992 following its appearance in the film Wayne's World, which revived its American popularity.

The song remains one of Queen's most popular songs and is frequently placed on modern lists of the greatest songs of all time. In 2004, "Bohemian Rhapsody" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. [source]
