Another One Bites the Dust was released by Queen in 1980 on the album The Game, written by bassist John Deacon and built around his iconic bass riff. It became one of the band's biggest hits, topping charts in the United States and remaining a staple of rock radio, films and sports arenas. Its steady groove and lyrics about defeat made it a natural fit for sporting moments, and rugby editors later adopted the short clip to soundtrack tackles, turnovers and losses, keeping the song familiar to new audiences through memes and highlight reels.
