TRUE STORY!!!!


When I was in Greece, I went to a discotheque. We were going to leave and went outside to wait for our ride. As we were standing outside, you can hear the music from within. Then we heard big BANG. I looked toward the road and saw some guy sliding across the road and stopped just as he hit the back tire of a car that was parked on the other side of the road. His moped slid across the road after him. I was just standing there in shock as these people when running across the street, picked him up as if he was a rolled up carpet, put him in the back seat of a car and the car took off-I am assuming to the hospital. All of this took place within less than a 2 minute time span. I was still in shock, trying to comprehend what I just witnessed and then I heard it. Coming from the discotheque-you got it, they started playing, "Another One Bites the Dust." I put my head in my hand, shaking my head saying, "No, no. They are NOT playing this song." Of course there was no way for the DJ inside to know what had just happened outside. I know it was just a coincidence but still.

I had read that Sly Stone had repeatedly begged Queen to use the song for Rocky III but Freddie Mercury steadfastly refused.

Sly was pretty upset, but it spurned him to get a producer to find a band that would write a song similar in passion for his second sequel.

What did he end up with?

Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger".  ::)

If you watch the build up montage scenes in the movie, you'll note that the punches thrown match the beat to Another One Bites the Dust perfectly, more so than Eye of the Tiger. The scene was cut to Queens song long before they had a chance to ask to get the rights to use it.

Strange why Fred would nix that idea, but would (in a roundabout way) give his blessing to Weird Al...

What lurid story, I like it!
:)

That's like the time I saw the dope dealer get busted in the supermarket and that awful Bob Seger song "Shakedown" started piping from the radio, "Break down, take down, you're busted!"
:o

Bob isn't a very nice fellow in real life..Just ask the residents of Rossport in Northern Ontario!
Bob was drinking heavily at the Rossport Motor Inn , Got into an argument with the bartender , punched him...& took off for home , but didn't make it very far as BMW vs rockcut....rockcut wins......OPP police busted him!
I didn't even know till I read the Thunder Bay paper & heres Mr.Wonderfull standing in front of his lear jet at the T-Bay airport..article read about how he was coming to town to defend his charges!
I was told by the locals that he's one celeberty they would rather not have known!
Bob can't hold his booze!

You mean Bob Seger is an a-hole in real life?  Classic!
;D

I should clarify, it was in the supermarket parking lot, not the supermarket itself, which would have been great, I'd love to see a guy frisked and cuffed at the Orville Redenbacher endcap display!  Wait a minute...that probably doesn't sound how I want it to sound!
