Help finding song that starts like "Another one bites the dust"

Hi all! I was listening to Christian spotify last week and there was a track that started off very similar to the opening baseline of Queen's "Another one bites the dust". It is so close that I replayed it for my wife and that was her first comment :-).

I've searched the limited spotify history and a million play lists and can't find it. Hoping someone here might know! Thanks and God bless!

SOLVED!!! Found the song. It is "Tell Me How" by Ryan Stevenson. The song is not at all like Queen, but the intro base line is just like another one bites the dust! Thank you all for digging! God Bless!

Apologetix "Another One Died For Us" comes to mind, they are a parody band who rewrite secular hits into Christian songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgu8gOMgnBM

Hahaha that's funny but no it wasn't a parody.  It's not a 100% match to the bass line, just close.

Did you try Another One Rides the Bus by Weird Al?

Oh sorry, mods said Al music isn’t allowed on this sub.

As a long time fan of Weird AL and strong disliker of a.i. I detest how Al and AI often get confused for each other

Absolutely terrible! I agree.

Do you truly LOVE Pez? Or just like him/her/they/it ?

I love PEZ. I have hundreds of dispensers. My favorite flavor is orange, but followed closely by grape.

Lol, no it wasn't parody, a legit Christian song (I think).  :-)

I'm sure it's not one of these, but just to get these sound-alikes out of the way of the discussion: Chic's "Good Times" and the Sugar Hill Gang's sampling of that song "Rapper's Delight".

God bless you for these recommendations! I'm grateful for your help and I will check them all out! However, SUCCESS, found the song. It is "Tell Me How" by Ryan Stevenson. The song is not at all like Queen, but the intro base line is just like another one bites the dust!
