Another One Rides the Bus

"Another One Rides the Bus" is a song by comedy musician "Weird Al" Yankovic. It was released in February 1981 and is a parody of Queen's song "Another One Bites the Dust". Yankovic's version describes a person riding in a crowded public bus. It was recorded live on September 14, 1980, on the Dr. Demento Show, hosted by Barret "Dr. Demento" Hansen. Accompanying Yankovic was Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz, who would go on to be the artist's long-time drummer.

The song became a hit on the Dr. Demento Show as well as establishing underground buzz. Hoping to capitalize on the success of the song, Yankovic originally released "Another One Rides the Bus" on an EP of the same name. Later, the song received a wider release, by TK Records, and although it did not crack the Hot 100, it peaked at number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles. However, TK Records soon folded and the song fell off the chart as it received no more promotion from the folded label. The song was later included on Yankovic's 1983 debut album. The song has been well received by critics, and Brian May—the guitarist of Queen—has expressed his amusement with "Another One Rides the Bus".
