In an interview with NME, Chic co-founder Bernard Edwards stated, ``... that Queen record came about because that Queen bass player... spent some time hanging out with us at our studio ''. Recording sessions were produced by Reinhold Mack at Musicland Studios in Munich ( West Germany ) and consisted of Deacon playing almost all the instruments : bass guitar, piano, rhythm and lead guitars and handclap percussion. Roger Taylor added a drum loop and Brian May contributed some noises with his guitar and an Eventide Harmonizer. There are no synthesisers used in the song : all effects are created with pianos, guitars, and drums, with subsequent tape playback performed in reverse at various speeds. Finally, some sound effects were run through the harmonizer for further processing. The effect of the harmonizer can be heard clearly in the `` swirling '' nature of the sound immediately before the first lyric. After attending a Queen concert in Los Angeles, Michael Jackson suggested to Freddie Mercury backstage that `` Another One Bites the Dust '' be released as a single. In early live performances, Taylor sang lead on the chorus, as opposed to the studio version sung entirely by Mercury. As the song became more well - known, the band could rely on audiences to sing the chorus by themselves. At the 1981 American Music Awards on 30 January, `` Another One Bites the Dust '' won the award for Favorite Pop / Rock Single. The song also garnered Queen a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. The band lost to Bob Seger 's album Against the Wind. The music video for `` Another One Bites the Dust '' was filmed at Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas. The song also appears in Queen 's Greatest Hits album in 1981. Alleged backward masking `` Another One Bites the Dust '' ( section ) The claimed backmasked section of `` Another One Bites the Dust ''. `` Another One Bites the Dust '' ( section ) ( reversed ) The same section, reversed. Problems playing these files ? See media help. In the early 1980s, `` Another One Bites the Dust '' was one of many popular rock songs that Christian evangelists alleged contained subliminal messages through a technique called backmasking. It was claimed that the chorus, when played in reverse, can be heard as `` Decide to smoke marijuana '', `` It 's fun to smoke marijuana '', or `` Start to smoke marijuana ''. A spokeswoman for Hollywood Records ( Queen 's current US label ) has denied that the song contains such a message. Queen comments on the record `` I 'd been wanting to do a track like ' Another One Bites The Dust ' for a while, but originally all I had was the line and the bass riff. Gradually, I filled it in and the band added ideas. I could hear it as a song for dancing but had no idea it would become as big as it did. The song got picked up off our album and some of the black radio stations in the US started playing it, which we 've never had before. Michael Jackson actually suggested we release it as a single. He was a fan of ours and used to come to our shows. -- John Deacon '' `` A fantastic bit of work from Freddie really. I mean, I remember Deacie having this idea, but Deacie does n't sing of course, so he was trying to suggest to Freddie how it should be and Fred just went in there and hammered and hammered until his throat bled, making... you know, he really was inspired bit and took it to a new height, I think. -- Brian May '' `` I remember laying down the backing track with him and... he really wanted the drums as dry as they could possibly be, so I just stuffed it all with blankets and made it as dead as I possibly could and very low tuned. -- Roger Taylor '' Use in medical training `` Another One Bites the Dust '' was used in a study to train medical professionals to provide the correct number of chest compressions per minute while performing CPR. The bassline has close to 110 beats per minute, and 100 -- 120 chest compressions per minute are recommended by the British Heart Foundation, and endorsed by the Resuscitation Council ( UK ). Music video The music video for this song was directed by Daniella Green in 1980.

The remix featured a new rap verse by Money - B of Raw Fusion and contained many samples from other records including, but not limited to, `` Flash '' by Queen themselves, `` The Breaks '' by Kurtis Blow, `` I Know You Got Soul '' by Eric B. & Rakim, `` Good Times '' by Chic, `` Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic '' by Isaac Hayes and `` It 's Too Funky in Here '' by James Brown. Dave Ogilvie edited the Phase 5 remix for inclusion on the April 1992 compilation BASIC Queen Bootlegs removing profanity from the rap verse and problematic samples due to copyright clearance. A separate remix by Onyx producer ChySkillz was due to appear featuring rap verses by Ice Cube, Hi - C and Manson. Ogilvie also recorded his own remix in sessions for the album, but did this not feature on the final track listing. All four versions have since leaked.

The Lions lost seven of its last twelve contests and missed the postseason with a 9 -- 7 record. Doug English commented in retrospect, `` The time to dance and strut is after you win the Super Bowl. It was not a time to mock the opposition. That 's the way to earn a target on your back, and we did in the end. '' In 1981, parodist `` Weird Al '' Yankovic wrote a parody of the song, titled `` Another One Rides the Bus ''. This version was recorded live on the Dr. Demento Show and was released on his debut album. In 2004, Gwen Stefani sings the line `` Another one bites the dust '' on the Pharrell Williams - produced track `` Hollaback Girl '' from her album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. As she sings the line, the brass section briefly mimics John Deacon 's familiar bassline. The track became a single the following year. The Def Leppard song `` Man Enough '' from their 2015 self - titled album features a bass line similar to `` Another One Bites the Dust, '' with guitarist Phil Collen explaining that people had told him about how their song reminded them of the Queen song.
