1998 saw Queen back in the top ten in the UK, and a sizable hit in America once again. The cause was Wyclef Jean, the highly successful rapper and producer formally a founder member of chart topping rap/r&b act The Fugees. Teaming up once again with fellow Fugee Pras Michel, and with the help of female rapper Free, Wyclef provided a striking reworking of Queen's 1980 US-chart topper 'Another One Bites The Dust', mixing the original record with new rap parts from himself, Pras and Free, and noticably increasing the power of Roger's original drum work.

Queen's involvement with the video was minimal - Wyclef Jean plays a security guard in a Queen museum that gets some unexpected visitors - the only actual Queen footage is shown on a bass drum, and is taken from the original Daniella Green directed video from 1980. At present, the video is unavailable on any official Queen release.
