SATURDAY SONG OF THE DAY
Oh, let's go
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust

Thank you my friend SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL for sharing the music video of Freddie Mercury leading Queen performing Another One Bites the Dust.
"The phrase bite the dust means to die, usually violently and was linked to American gangsters if the prohibition period, especially the Chicago gangs. The idea is that a dead person falls forward with their mouth open and literally bites the dust.
The song starts with a gangstar-Style scenario of the man walking with machine guns “ready to go”. The rest of the song contextualises this by saying it’s about relationships. The metaphor being that going into a relationship is like walking into a gangster’s trap and it’s kill or be killed. The singer is talking to his ex and saying she’s treated him badly and he’s dumping her. So another partner is gone.
It was written by John Deacon and features one of the most distinctive bass lines ever. It got picked by American black stations and gave Queen a new audience and an interest in funk that resulted in the truly terrible Hot Space album, saved only by the sublime Under Pressure.
Incidentally, my old band were asked to play it for a 50th birthday party as it was the birthday boy’s theme song. We asked his wife if there was story to it the singer could retell when we introduced it. His wife said “He is a surgeon and all the medical staff play it every time one of his patients dies!”

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL, I love that song, but truthfully I hadn't really thought about the words until today. I have no idea if it was about Nam, but it sure could have been. Thanks

That seemed to be the number one song to be played that year, every time someone at the shop got married, that song came on the radio.
