Another One Bites the Dust is a 1980 Queen song from the album The Game, written by bassist John Deacon and built around one of the most famous bass lines in rock. It became a worldwide chart hit and a long-running favourite in sports arenas, where crowds use it to celebrate an opponent going down. Online, editors trimmed the riff into a short meme sound for fails, knockouts, and eliminations, because the title alone tells the joke. That instant recognition is why the groove still works decades later.
