I had to look that up. "Another One Bites the Dust" was released in 1980, see queenwords.com for example. It might have been related to "America held hostage" or something, but the words look pretty vague. Maybe there was a takeoff done as a war anthem, I don't remember. I always preferred the Weird Al takeoff, "Another One Rides the Bus": Ridin' in a bus down the boulevard And the place was pretty packed Couldn't find a seat so I had to stand With the perverts in the back It was smellin' like a locker room There was junk all over the floor We're already packed in like sardines But we're stoppin' to pick up more Look out Another one rides the bus . . . com-www.com Oops, another search turned up this odd list of songs allegedly banned by the BBC in '91. alt.venus.co.uk . "Love is a Battlefield"????? AOBTD shows up in the post-9/11 list, perhaps a little more understandably. pemcom.demon.co.uk lists a "gulf war reissue" of "We are the Champions", though. Just a year ahead of the "Wayne's World" reissue of "Bohemian Rhapsody". What a strange blast from the past.
