"I listened to a lot of soul music when I was in school and l'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."

So the phrase inspired John to write the song..
Because I've played some games, that wrote: "another one bit the dust", and/or "another one bites the dust" ->dunno it's an English phrase or John's phrase? :D
Something like "if you can't beat them, join them" is an original English phrase.
