The original manuscript for epic Queen hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" sold for £1,379,000 ($1,740,712) Wednesday at an auction of Freddie Mercury memorabilia in London.
Sotheby's auctioneer Oliver Barker called the 15-pages of pencil and ballpoint pen remarks -- which also reveal that the title was originally going to be "Mongolian Rhapsody" -- a "modern cultural icon".
