Another One Rides the Bus by "Weird Al" Yankovic Song Info
"Another One Rides the Bus" is a parody of Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust". It was originally released on Yankovic's first EP and was later re-released on Yankovic's self-titled debut album. Yankovic wrote the parody and debuted it live on the Dr. Demento Show. While practicing the song outside the sound booth, Yankovic ran into Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz who told Yankovic he was a drummer. Schwartz agreed to drum on Yankovic's accordion case to keep a good steady beat to the song. "Another One Rides the Bus" became so popular that it got Yankovic his first appearance on a TV show, The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder. On the show, Yankovic played his accordion and Schwartz banged on Yankovic's accordion case and played the bulb horns.
