Queen Bites facts

While investigating facts about Queen Bites, I found out little known, but curios details like:

Eye Of The Tiger" was created to be the theme for Rocky III because Queen wouldn't give Sylvester Stallone the rights to use "Another One Bites The Dust"

Spotify has a CPR playlist. All the songs on the playlist have a tempo of 100 to 120 bpm, which is the same tempo at which one should give chest compressions during CPR. Coincidently, two of the songs are: "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen and "Stayin' Alive" by The Bee Gees.

In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 24 of the best facts about Queen Bites I managed to collect.

5. Michael Jackson was the one to suggest to Queen that "Another one Bites The Dust" (written by Queen bassist John Deacon) should be released as a single. Even though Queen didn't think it would do that well.

6. "Eye Of The Tiger" was written by Survivor, at the request of Sylvester Stallone, who was unable to get permission for Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" for Rocky III.
