Another One Bites the Dust was released by Queen in 1980 on the album The Game, written by bassist John Deacon around a funk-influenced bass riff that became one of the most recognisable grooves in rock. It topped charts in the United States and became one of the band's best-selling singles, later appearing in films, sports arenas and countless edits. Its simple, driving rhythm translates instantly even without lyrics, which is why creators still reach for it for reveals, defeats and triumphant walk-ins decades later.
