I haven’t been this surprised by a musical interlude since the opera bit arrived in Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody some time back at the dawn of time. My mother was feeding me at the time, so I hadn’t a great view. But I recall the sheer audacity.

Your first memory of Bo Rap carbon dates you decisively. It’s best not to admit that you can actually remember it on Top of the Pops in 1975. But if you do, you are Gen X / Boomer. If you came in on it at Wayne’s World (1992) you are an older Millennial. If it was the 2018 biopic you are Gen Z. It’s that easy.
