"Another one bites the dust" comes on Pandora Me:Hey! This song is by Queen! Andrew:(Pauses) Andrew: You mean that one-hit-wonder band? laughs Me: This is NOT how sweaters get finished!
Nah, they had another hit, too, not that I can remember yet what it was.
Oh wait. Now I do. It was the one about the execution of Gary Gilmore for murder, the first such in many years thanks to a new Supreme Court ruling, from the point of view of the delightful Gilmore.
When we were newlyweds we had a couple in the apartment above us who were taking a dance class, who had one 45 (and only played one song) and who played it loud enough to make the walls shake. I have never forgiven that song. Another one bites the dust! THUMP THUMP THUMP

They had bunches of hits (Andrew doesn't know what he's talking about or too young to remember (grin)).
ReplyDeleteBohemian Rhapsody
We are the Champions
We will Rock You
Another One Bites the Dust
Killer Queen
And then some really silly songs like Fat Bottomed Girls and Bicycle Race
(harumph!)
Have you tried the Rockabye Baby cds? The Queen one is actually pretty good.
