“Another One Bites the Dust” is Queen’s second most famous song, and it’s one of the hardest of their songs to understand. The opening line reads, “Steve walks warily down the street, his brim pulled way down low. Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet, machine gun ready to go…”

Bass player John Deacon wrote the song. All four members of Queen wrote songs, and each wrote at least one hit. Deacon also wrote their hit song “You’re My Best Friend.” Deacon played most of the instruments on the track as well: lead and rhythm guitars, bass, reversed piano and additional percussion.
