This was written by John Deacon the bass player. It was inspired by the Chicago Valentines Day "massacre" where the mob used machine guns to eliminate a rival group. The movie Some Like It Hot was also inspired by the same event. MJ was a fan of Freddie, and would attend their L.A. concerts. They worked on 3 songs together but didn't finish them. According to Queen's manager, Freddie called him and said Get me out of here, he brings his llama into to the recording studio. I'm working with a damn llama!" TH-cam has "There Must be More to Life Than This" audio available. I can't remember the name of the 2nd recoding, but someone will know.
TY Schuyler, always enjoy Freddie's strutting... Watch the Rainbow concert in 1974 and notice the one black sequin glove... Freddie inspired and influenced the entire world... and we LOVE IT to this day... Freddie and MJ were good friends and MJ even insisted they release this song as a single... went to #1 instantly... also, check out songs done by Freddie and MJ collab, "State of Shock" and "There Must Be More to Life Than This'... blessings.
Just another great iconic song by Queen……but like most Queen songs ….they are always so much better when performed live on stage. This was a studio version …. made to look like they were on stage….but still fabulous. MJ and Freddie were friends….. MJ would come to their live shows and also to rehearsals. It was MJ who convinced Queen to release this song as a single …. which then became a #1 hit. Freddie and MJ recorded a few songs together….. but only one or two were actually released…… “Their Must Be More to Life Than This”. Is one. Also …. Freddie wore one sequence glove during his live shows at the Rainbow in 1974…… long before MJ 😊. You should react to “Liar” live at Rainbow 1974. Please keep reacting to more Queen….. I would still like for you to react to the live performance of “Somebody to “Love” live at Montreal 1981. …. Thank you.
***WE WILL ROCK YOU***, ***WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS***....may have heard any of these songs in sports/games/movies/tv. Yep, another is dying..."bites the dust" is slang for dying.
Freddie and Michael Jackson were friends of a sort until MJ got tired of Freddie's cocaine use and Freddie said, "Get rid of those damned llamas!" about MJ lol
Queen doin’ funk😁John Deacon (Bass player) was influenced by Chic, then in return MJ brings out Billie Jean a few years later, you’re right about one influencing the other.

Michael Jackson is the one who convinced them to make this a single. Freddie didn’t think it was good enough. Became their biggest hit in the US.
Queen was so innovative and creative. They were ground breaking in everything that they did
R.I.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU
WE HEAR YOU SINGING FROM HEAVEN
I told my pastor years ago I want this song played at my funeral and I'm completely serious.
React to queen another one bites the dust live Montreal 1981

Some vids show clips of concerts during a studio version of the audio like they did here.

This one should have been remixed/sampled for hip hop by now.

It's about a rocky romance, actually and not letting your enemies get the best of you/bouncing back from adversity...that kind of thing.

It’s a metaphor. It’s about relationships.
