"Another One Bites The Dust" was a jam not only on pop radio but R&B radio as well. This song was downright funky. Give it up.

Another One Bites The Dust



STEVE WALKS WARILY DOWN THE STREET
WITH HIS BRIM PULLED WAY DOWN LOW
AIN?T NO SOUND BUT THE SOUND OF HIS FEET
MACHINE GUNS READY TO GO

ARE YOU READY, ARE YOU READY FOR THIS
ARE YOU HANGIN? ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT
OUT OF THE DOORWAY THE BULLETS RIP
TO THE SOUND OF THE BEAT

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
AND ANOTHER ONE GONE
AND ANOTHER ONE GONE
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
HEY, I?M GONNA GET YOU TOO
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

HOW DO YOU THINK I?M GOING TO GET ALONG
WITHOUT YOU WHEN YOU?RE GONE
YOU TOOK ME FOR EVERYTHING THAT I HAD
AND KICKED ME OUT OF MY OWN
ARE YOU HAPPY, ARE YOU SATISFIED
HOW LONG CAN YOU STAND THE HEAT
OUT OF THE DOORWAY THE BULLETS RIP
TO THE SOUND OF THE BEAT

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
AND ANOTHER ONE GONE
AND ANOTHER ONE GONE
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
HEY, I?M GONNA GET YOU TOO
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

THERE ARE PLENTY OF WAYS YOU CAN HURT A MAN
AND BRING HIM TO THE GROUND
YOU CAN BEAT HIM
YOU CAN CHEAT HIM
YOU CAN TREAT HIM BAD AND LEAVE HIM
WHEN HE?S DOWN
BUT I?M READY, YES I?M READY FOR YOU
I?M STANDING ON MY OWN TWO FEET
OUT OF THE DOORWAY THE BULLETS RIP
REPEATING TO THE SOUND OF THE BEAT

This was #1 the day I was born.


Thankfully, I did not bite the dust.

You little whipper snapper! I was in the eighth grade.

I remember a pro-wrester that use THIS song as his theme enterance:

QueCHICen.

Ah yes, I love this jam and I'm also a big Queen fan. John Deacon, the bassplayer of Queen and the writer of this song, is very much into funk/R&B... he used to hang out sometimes with Bernard Edwards from Chic at the time and Bernard has been quoted as saying that John told him he loved the bassline from "Good Times", plus John Deacon has said that Chic is one of his favourite groups... So I guess the nod to Chic is understandable.... Some interesting facts about the song: Roger Taylor, the drummer from Queen, hated the song and didn't like the idea of recording a drum loop for the track... He also didn't like the close-mic'd sound which the others in the band wanted to use for the drum track... Freddie Mercury is the one that defended the song and fighted for including it on The Game ,,,, The band didn't want to release the song as a single but after Michael Jackson suggested it should be released and after black radio stations started to play the song they decided to release the song as a single... also some interesting facts in an interview on the Greatest Video Hits 1 DVD: Brian May said that allegedly most of the DJs on the black radio stations thought that the members of Queen were black.... also Roger Taylor mentioned that he was approached by some young black men after a Queen concert in New York at the time who said "You guys are bad!" .... And Roger thought to himself: "Did they like us?"

I love that cut but i still don't think it's as funky as Body Language.

You mean "Stolen" Jam 0' the day ?
see Chic 1979

I was going to start a "rollerskating songs" thread today, mostly because of this song. This song was by far the most played song at the roller rink when I used to go.
