Fans point out that Queen left a possible subliminal message on ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ to encourage recreational drug use
In a world where there are around 6500 languages, music is universal and intensely subliminal. The melody draws attention, but it’s the coded messages (lyrically and visually) that really connect the composition with the audience.
There are many processes involved in making a record, but some fans believe that some of these alleged hidden messages in songs are conspiratorial, while others are harmless. The classic song of Queen, “Another One Bites the Dust”left some listeners convinced that the band was using a hidden message to encourage recreational drug use.
Fans point out that when played backwards, ‘Another One Bites The Dust’ reveals that some of the members of the Queen smoke weed. There are still those who claim that, in fact, the phrase is “decide to smoke marijuana” or “start to smoke marijuana”.
“Another One Bites the Dust” is the best-selling single of the career of the Queen, with more than 7 million copies sold all over the planet. In addition, the song on the disc the game (1980) was nominated for a Grammy in 1981 in the category Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.
