"Another One Bites the Dust" is a Queen song from the 1980 album The Game. Written by bassist John Deacon, it became one of the band's biggest hits and stayed culturally visible through radio, film, sports, and internet edits. Online, short clips of the chorus are often used as a musical punchline for defeat, elimination, or a chain of people losing in sequence. Its staying power comes from the distinctive bass riff and a title lyric that instantly explains the joke without extra setup.
