Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” released in 1980 as part of their album “The Game,” is a groundbreaking fusion of rock, funk, and disco that became one of the band’s most iconic and commercially successful songs. Written by bassist John Deacon, the song’s infectious bassline and rhythmic groove propelled it to the top of the charts and made it a staple of radio playlists worldwide.

About The Song

With its pulsating rhythm and catchy chorus, “Another One Bites the Dust” captures the essence of late-70s and early-80s dance music while retaining Queen’s signature rock edge. Freddie Mercury’s commanding vocals, coupled with Brian May’s guitar work and Roger Taylor’s dynamic drumming, add layers of depth and intensity to the track.

The song’s lyrics, inspired by Deacon’s experiences in the music industry, tell the story of a man who becomes increasingly disillusioned with fame and success. Despite its darker themes, “Another One Bites the Dust” exudes an undeniable energy and vitality that have made it a timeless anthem of empowerment and defiance.

As we revisit “Another One Bites the Dust,” we celebrate Queen’s ability to push the boundaries of genre and create music that transcends generations. The song remains a testament to the band’s innovation and creativity, as well as their enduring influence on the world of popular music.

Lyric

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Hey!
Give it to them
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you standing on the edge of your seat?
Out the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat, yeah, yeah, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Sing it (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’ve gone?
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the beat?
Out the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat, yeah, yeah, yeah
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
Hey, hey
Oh, bite the dust, baby
Hey, bite the dust, baby
Bite the dust, baby
Bite the, bite the, bite the
Bite the dust baby, bite the dust baby
I’m about to bite you, bite you, bite you, baby
Get on down
Baby get on down
Boogie on down
Hey, yeah, yeah
Bite you, baby bite you
Baby bite you, bite you, bite you, gonna bite you
Hey, oh shake
Oh shake on down, gonna shake on down
I’m with you, I’m ready
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There’s plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
Bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him
You can treat him bad and then leave him when he’s down, yeah
But I’m ready, yes I’m ready for you
I’m standing on my own two feet
Out the doorway, the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat, yeah, yeah, yeah, hit it
Another one bites the dust
Your turn (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
Shoot out, shoot out, shoot out
Hey, hey, hey
Alright
Alright
