Talk:Another One Bites the Dust

message: *The genre status claims that this is a funk-oriented rock song.  I believe that is unverifiable although it was dubbed into an album of the Pure Funk series.  This song is played on classic rock radio stations and dubbed into classic rock albums.  The case of the song "Low Rider" overlapping both genres is more logical than this song.  So I removed the funk orientation reference on this article. --SuperDude 03:56, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

I think this should be mentioned. Opinions...

text: You're right. Notice that important tag at the end.  It's uncited trivia.  So it doesn't have any real value and shouldn't be spread around as if it was confirmed fact.  If truth be told it should be removed from the Rocky 3 article. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 19:52, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Two interesting websites.  But to me they say something different.  The first website  looks very much to me that the information on it has actually come from the original Rocky 3 Wikipedia article.  So citing that as a supporting reference would be a circular argument.  The second website  looks much more promising, but if you read what it says; "He said he was using what he called "temp", or temporary music in the film thus far, but that he wanted to replace it with originals written specifically for the movie." That to me says that Another One Bites The Dust was never the intended final music, it was only temporary until "Eye Of The Tiger" replaced it.  Stallone never wanted to use it.  Whether this is notable enough to warrant mentioning on the article, I don't know.  But it is far less notable than Stallone intending to use it on the final version.  Especially as no-one appears to have an explanation why, if Stallone really wanted it, they didn't use it. In the meantime, I think I'm going to remove it from Rocky III and add your cite from Jim Peterik. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 22:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use of Song in Rocky 3  

message: Wikipedia articles are supposed to be written from a "neutral" point of view.  So why did your article contain this statement?
:"In 2008, DJ Lobsterdust released a mix of the song called "It's Fun to Smoke Dust" that combines the original with a recording of Gary Greenwald's 1982 rant about the alleged subliminal message in the song."
Personally, I'm a skeptic regarding subliminal messages, but the word "rant" is hardly neutral.  On the contrary, it suggests that the writer of this article has an axe to grind.  I took the liberty of changing "rant" to "accusation."97.73.64.172 (talk) 13:13, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I am removing an addition regarding Weird Al Yankovic. I don't see how the addition of his cover comedic version is relevant in the introduction of the article. If someone is to add it back, please do so on the other covers section Thanks. --Camilo Sanchez (talk) 04:29, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Someone has to add that Glee has made a cover of this song. LucyJhonson (talk) 21:23, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No they don't. The Glee cover song is not notable in any way. It didn't make the charts, it didn't win any awards, and it hasn't been written about by third parties. – jaksmata 19:05, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

message: 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. 
How does a song lose to an album?
Either "Another One Bites the Dust" lost to "Against the Wind", or The Game lost to Against the Wind. (Praise Queen for not calling their album Another One Bites the Dust.) I like that it's not just a link to Seger's album, but the text actually says "Bob Seger's album". Heh! Someone should look into this.
Furthermore, how does Bob Seger win Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group-- oh, "Bob Seger AND THE SILVER BULLET BAND", right. Eh. Queen was cheated.
A brief reading shows, Against the Wind is a right cheat all around. For one thing, he's got a whole other band on it, called The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (six people), who play on HALF the tracks instead of The Silver Bullet Band. The album not only has both bands on it, it also has more session players than the Silver Bullet Band has members. Yet THEY get their name on the album and win a Grammy meant for fucking bands. That's just obnoxious.
But only when we see that it took a full TEN (10) people to produce Against the Wind (including the band whose name ISN'T on the album) can we fully visualize and truly appreciate the image of Seger kneeling in flames to tongue Mephisto's bung. Complete with full Grammy insertion. You know where. 
Meanwhile, Queen's membership changed by how much? Oh, yeah: Not at all. Four guys. Real band. Right. Man, if I were John Deacon, I would have put on the mother of all rock-star hotel-room temper tantrums that night! He'd be perfectly entitled! It took Bob Seger three bands and ten producers to beat Queen.

message: Has anyone else noticed how many rock, pop and and country tunes are based on clichés? This one is the first that came to mind for me—but really, there's a ton of 'em. Would there be any value to starting a list page called (e.g.) "Popular Songs Based on Clichés", with links to each song's page? Seeing them all in one place like that would emphasize what a pervasive phenomenon it's been, and perhaps stimulate discussion on what songwriters consider "creative". 😉 – AndyFielding (talk) 08:14, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
