John Deacon (Queen) : I listened to a lot of soul music when I was in school and I've always been interested in that sort of music. 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 a hit as it did.
