Another One Bites the Dust

"Another One Bites the Dust" is a song by the English rock band Queen. Written by Bassist John Deacon, the song featured on the group's eighth album, The Game (1980). The song was a worldwide hit, charting number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, number two on the R&B charts and the Disco Top 100, and number seven in the UK Singles Chart. The song is credited as Queen's best selling single, with sales of over 7 million copies. This version was ranked at number 34 on Billboard's All Time Top 100.

On June 11th, 2012, all radio signals in the Laurel Crossing area were overwritten by an unknown broadcast of this song. For a full 24 hour period starting at 4:18 AM, the song appeared on all channels, playing repeatedly. Each channel's broadcast was slightly offset from the others, possibly meaning that the broadcast on most channels were started midsong.

Mayor O'Fallingham made a public statement that this abnormality was no cause for alarm. "Just keep on with your daily lives, and if you get tired of the song," he said, "just turn off the radio."

June 12th was the first appearance of the Sinkholes, and also the first reported symptoms of what later became the Clownpox Epidemic.
