Queen's, "Bohemian Rhapsody"

The Lyrics:

Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go

Why:

"Bismillah" is Arabic, it roughly means "In the Name of God", and is at the beginning of almost every chapter of the Koran/Q'uran (Holy book of Islam). Some pious Muslims will mention "Bismillah" before doing anything, and several constitutions of some Muslim countries begin with this word.
