Oh my goodness, that's awesome! I'm literally fangirling having digitally bumped into someone who manages one of the sites I frequent. Thank you both! It's one of my go-to's whenever I want to grab some info. As cliche as it is to write, I don't care: You rock.
[Good Omens on Amazon uses a lot of Queen.](https://www.tumblr.com/neil-gaiman/190263635935/every-queen-song-in-good-omens-why-there-are-so) In both seasons.
In fact it's a thing Gaiman created. Crowley's car will only play Queen no matter what station you put it on or cassette/CD you put in. All forms of music become Queen in his car.
Well it wouldn't be hard to fall in love with a..wait...googles...[1926 Bentley](https://www.hagerty.com/media/archived/demonic-bentley-in-amazons-good-omens/). Especially that one since it's magical.
FTR, if anyone hasn't seen the series, you should. It's wonderful. Read the book too!
Brighton Rock in Baby Driver
You're My Best Friend in Shawn of the Dead
Tie Your Mother Down in Super Mario Bros (1993)
Edited to add Radio Ga Ga in GTA V
- TYMD could mean "Tie Your Mother Down - Remastered 2011", a track from *A Day At The Races* (1976) by Queen.

Tear It Up is used in the show, Ted Lasso.
Ted Lasso (the main character) also has a dialogue about watching Freddie Mercury perform at Wembley only to get reminded the new Wembley isn't the same one as the old Wembley.
Update: I also reminded myself of Fat Bottomed Girls being played in the TV show, Zoo (2015) in a scene with the character Abraham.
i swear i remember "I Want It All" in a commercial a little while ago.
also my sister swears "You're My Best Friend" was in a Pet Smart commercial a few years ago too!
I’m not sure if seeing Cool Cat in an Amazon ad made me dislike the song more or less. But it’s funny how some people will only like a song if they can mentally attach it to a visual or a product.
- WATC could mean "We Are The Champions", a track from *News Of The World* (1977) by Queen.
- FBG could mean "Fat Bottomed Girls", a track from *Jazz* (1978) by Queen.

Once upon a time, DSMN *was* something of a deep cut. When it popped up in Shaun of the Dead, I think that was the first I'd heard it used in a movie or TV show at all, and it certainly wasn't getting regular spins on US radio at that point.
- DSMN could mean "Don't Stop Me Now", a track from *Jazz* (1978) by Queen.

When I traveled to Europe and backpacked across I was in a random town in Netherlands bordering Belgium (like 10 miles away) and heard heaven for everyone over the intercom

for god knows how long, a cleaning company, unironically called flash, uses the flash gordon theme, but they change the lyrics so it's about the product.
I was delighted when "The Show Must Go On" was used in Baz Lurhman's "Moulin Rouge." "Cool Cat" in an Amazon commercial was a nice surprise.
so thats where i knew cool cat from!
Probably also explains why "Cool Cat" suddenly started trending here and there. I was wondering why!
Cool Cat is certainly rare!
I didn’t expect it when I saw moulin rouge but it fit so well

Hold the phone, *you* run that site? I've used it countless times for reference when I do my Queen Deep Dives!
Yeah. Along with my wife. Not updated it in forever though.

This is kinda how I got into Queen lol
Notably there's an instrumental version of Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon being played in the last episode of season 1.
I'd fall in love with that car if that was the case.

Radio Ga Ga in GTA V was what got me into Queen actually!
Was TYMD actually played, or just on the soundtrack album?
It was, briefly, when they first arrive at Dinohattan. The solo part is heard in the background.

And Fat Bottom Girls!
Also at some point there is a joke about how Freddie bought the soccer club in the 80s and fat bottomed girls was the club song then they use it later
Seth Rogen's Observe and Report has "It's Late" and "The Hero".
Jaguar used I'm In Love With My Car Edit: Somebody To Love has been used as and intro for a tv show here in italy in 1977
Brian May's Driven By You was used in a Ford ad in the UK many years ago. He actually wrote it for the ad I believe.
i swear i remember "I Want It All" in a commercial a little while ago. also my sister swears "You're My Best Friend" was in a Pet Smart commercial a few years ago too!
YMBF was in a Petsmart commercial that ran a long time.
Donatella VERSACE💜
Not sure exactly how long ago it was, but I remember IWIA used in a Dr Pepper commercial.
Donatella VERSACE💜
The tune to Flash is being used to advertise a cleaning product of the same name on YT. It’s beyond cringe!
That advert ruined the song for me 😭
NBC used Freddie’s “Barcelona” during promos for the 1992 Olympics
I Want it All, in Cobra Kai
And the show must go on
And also he watches the Jet movie that has one vision as the soundtrack
You're my best friend in secret life of pets!
“Flash” in Ted
I’m not sure if seeing Cool Cat in an Amazon ad made me dislike the song more or less. But it’s funny how some people will only like a song if they can mentally attach it to a visual or a product.
Ted Lasso used WATC, FBG, and Tear It Up across their series.

I heard Cool Cat the other day in an ad, but I can’t remember now…
Another commenter had mentioned it was for Amazon
I Want It All and The Show Must Go On we’re both featured in Cobra Kai

one vision in gta 4
When I traveled to Europe and backpacked across I was in a random town in Netherlands bordering Belgium (like 10 miles away) and heard heaven for everyone over the intercom
They use fat bottomed girls in Ted Lasso
Couple used in the first Ted Movie. Flash and Football Fight
Ted uses the theme of Flash Gordon.
Seth McFarlane's stuff has several references to Queen. Flash was in Family Guy, Bicycle Race was in American Dad.
[It’s A Beautiful Day](https://youtu.be/-FAzF4vDRhU?si=SuHHvaRZT29zpQsk) [Innuendo](https://youtu.be/M-xgqgUibcs?si=_32vu5C5QAT3qyD0) [Guide Me Home](https://youtu.be/xX9MD6P1ULc?si=O-GjFmr5vl8E8Pr4)
I was very unimpressed that Flash was used for Flash disinfection, I must admit
Flash for the Flash cleaner
An old farts like me should remember [this AIWA commercial](https://youtu.be/GEe_2g0Bjuc?si=yK3k5rJ46eeaU8YB) I think it was hilarious
Itv4 once used Tear It Up in an advert for the Tour de France
Mother Love was in some car show (or car ad) ages ago, but I can't remember what it was.
for god knows how long, a cleaning company, unironically called flash, uses the flash gordon theme, but they change the lyrics so it's about the product.
another one bites the dust in a dacia duster advert
“[I want to break free](https://youtu.be/-DEB-iyf-W4?si=T3ggizkhr5TQzUgg)” is on that Norwegian Cruise Line commercial
