Wayne’s World: 10 Best Lines from the SNL Movie

Author Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter
February 14th, 2020 6:00 AM

Wayne’s World, one of the best Saturday Night Live sketches that evolved into a film, was released in theaters 29 years ago today (February 14.)

Without a doubt, it is 95 minutes of comedic genius that still resonates to this day. Want proof? Look at this selection of quotes.  They make us feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym class.

 

“Well, that’s where I see things just a little differently. Contract or no, I will not bow to any sponsor.”

“No Stairway. Denied!”

 

“I don’t even own *a* gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do with a gun rack?”

 

“I NEVER LEARNED TO READ!”

 

“Actually, it’s pronounced “mill-e-wah-que” which is Algonquin for “the good land.” and “WE’RE NOT WORTHY!”

 

“Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt.”

 

“Will you still love me when I’m in my hanging-out-with-Ravi-Shankar phase?”

 

“Or, imagine being magically whisked away to… Delaware.  Hi. I’m in… Delaware.”

 

“I mean Led Zeppelin didn’t write tunes everybody liked. They left that to the Bee Gees.”

 


8 Infamous Concert Moments in Rock History

  • Alice Cooper & the Chicken

    Share

    Alice Cooper was playing the Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival in September 1969, when a chicken was thrown onto the stage. Alice then threw the chicken back because, “It had feathers; it should fly!” Wrong! This iconic moment only added to the Shock Rocker’s legend…and likely still gives PETA fits.

  • Ozzy & the Bat

    Share

    At a January 20, 1982 show in Des Moines, Iowa, a fan threw a dead bat onto the stage.  Ozzy thought it was a toy bat. (Oops!) Of course, after the show was when he went to the hospital for a round of rabies shots.  FUN!

  • Axl Rose & the Riverport Riot

    Share

    Admittedly, the above description sounds like an amazing band name, but what wasn’t amazing was the riot that ensued at a Guns N’ Roses show in Maryland Heights, Mo. on July 2, 1991 at the Riverport Amphitheatre. Axl Rose cut the set short after seeing a fan in the crowd with a camera, and well you know the rest:  Cut to the infamous “Well, thanks to the lame-ass security, I’m going home!” line...and cue riot!

  • Rage Gets Naked

    Share

    Rage Against the Machine made a big impression on fans attending the Philadelphia stop on the 1993 Lollapalooza tour. Rage took to the stage naked and stood in protest of the Parents Music Resource Center while feedback played for their entire 15-minute set. (Google images from this moment at your own risk.)

  • L7 & the Tampon

    Share

    L7 was on the bill at the 1992 Reading Festival.  The band experienced some technical difficulties during their set, which led to the crowd to start throwing mud at the stage.  So, how did frontwomen Donita Sparks respond? She reached into her pants, pulled out her tampon and threw it into the crowd while telling them to, “Eat my used tampon, f---ers!”  Never has a moment been both badass and revolting.

  • Jim Morrison “Exposes” Himself

    Share

    What’s so crazy about this incident is that decades later, no one really knows if it actually happened.  During a 1969 gig in Miami, Morrison allegedly exposed himself on stage and was later charged with indecent exposure and “the use of obscene language.”   There’s still no photographic proof that the Lizard King shows his...lizard, which is likely why decades later, the Florida Clemency Board issued a pardon.

  • Billie Joe’s Breakdown

    Share

    Green Day was booked to perform at the 2012 iHeart Radio Music Festival, and their set was reduced by 20 minutes so pop acts could have more stage time.  Billie gave everyone an earful on stage, however, things weren’t what they seemed. This incident shined a light on Billie’s substance abuse issues, and he shortly checked into rehab.

  • Altamont

    Share

    There are few classic rock concert moments as tragic and infamous as Altamont, which took place on December 6, 1969.  Poor organizing and the Hell’s Angels acting as security was a recipe for disaster and led to the stabbing death of Meredith Hunter, which was chronicled in the documentary Gimme Shelter.
