The excerpt of "Another One Bites the Dust" on which the jingle is based
The jingle, slowed down and pitch-shifted to match the song's tempo and pitch, combined with the song itself
"Another One Bites the Dust" is a 1980 funk rock/disco song performed by the British rock band Queen. A rearrangement of a brief segment from the song's bass riff is used as a start-up jingle in early releases of the Table Top version of Mario's Cement Factory.[1] Later production runs of the game would replace the track with an original jingle.[2]
The manual for Mario's Cement Factory does not mention any music rights holders,[3] suggesting that the use of the song was unauthorized, as was common practice for music in video games at the time.[citation needed]
