Freddy Loved It
Freddie Mercury actually really loved the track. Brian May recalled: “Freddie sung until his throat bled on “Another One Bites The Dust.” He was so into it. He wanted to make that song something special.”

In 1998, this was used in a commercial for AIWA sound systems. In the ad, a guy drives around with this blaring from his car stereo. At the end of the commercial, we realize he is driving a hearse. And after Michael Jackson suggested they make the song a single, they developed a friendship. It lead to a number of collaborations between the two but their songs were never released.
