Another One Bites the Dust

Written by bassist John Deacon, "Another One Bites The Dust" is a funk-oriented rock song from the British group Queen. This song was a worldwide crossover hit (hitting the Top Ten on the Pop charts, and topping the R & B charts). Ironically, it topped the latter charts on the merit that some fans thought Queen was an R & B group, and that it came pretty much at the tail end of the Disco era. The track can be found on the album "The Game". Another major hit of this album was Freddie Mercury's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love".

It was inspired by Chic's (Bernard Edwards & Nile Rodgers) "Good Times".

It inspired the "Weird Al" Yankovic debut album parody "Another One Rides The Bus".

Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, radio conglomerate Clear Channel Communications sent out of a list of 150 songs that were recommended to be pulled from airplay. Of Queen's songs, "Another One Bites the Dust" was listed along with "Killer Queen".
