"Another One Bites The Dust" is a song by the British rock band Queen. The song was written by John Deacon, who was the bassist for the band. This song is from the band's eighth studio album, "The Game," released in 1980. "Another One Bites The Dust" became a massive hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. John Deacon's contributions as a songwriter are often overshadowed by the prolific output of his bandmates Freddie Mercury, Brian May, and Roger Taylor, but it's worth noting that he was also responsible for many other well-known Queen songs, including "You're My Best Friend" and "I Want to Break Free." One of the notable features of "Another One Bites The Dust" is its distinctive bassline, which was also created by Deacon. This bassline, influenced by disco and funk, made the song a dance floor favourite and has been often sampled in various other tracks in the decades since its release. Performance-wise, the song showcased each member of Queen admirably. Freddie Mercury delivered a powerful yet understated vocal performance, Brian May added his unique guitar stylings, Roger Taylor drove the rhythm along with his rock solid drumming, and of course, John Deacon's catchy, funky bassline set the whole thing off. "Another One Bites The Dust" has gone on to become one of Queen's most enduring and recognizable songs. Its influence can be heard in countless songs across different genres, and it continues to be popular in various forms of media, from films and television shows to commercials and sporting events.
