The Bass line on Queen\’s 1980 single \” Another One Bites The Dust\” ( written by Queen\’s Bass player John Deacon) is clearly a variation of the one used in Chic\’s \” Good Times\” which was released a full year before.The percussion track and the hand claps were looped continuously repeating throughout the track.The vocals provided by Freddie Mercury were thought to be from a black vocalist since many were not familiar with Queen before this track hit the United States. It was even rumored that when played backward it\’s message was \” It\’s Fun to Smoke Marijuana\” The track definitely had a \” funky\” feel , a nice \” bounce\” but Disco? You decide.
