10 Mainstream Songs That Made Great Wrestling Entrance Themes

10. Another One Bites The Dust By Queen (Junkyard Dog)

Back in the hairspray and polyester-plagued days of the 1980's, WWE were a lot more liberal with using licensed songs for superstar's entrances. Long before the creation of their in house studio enabled them to duck out of increasingly heavy licensing fees and allowed a further level of control, some of the biggest names of the era had their tracks re-purposed.

Arguably, the most fitting and seamless conversion of mainstream hits into wrestling themes was when Queen's Another One Bites the Dust was adopted by the charismatic Junkyard Dog.

With one of the most popular and recognizable bass-lines of all time, the song had the perfect bobbing, thumping beat for Dog's trademark strut down the aisle. Swinging his chain to the infectious melody, Dog made the song his own and adopted the refrain as a short lived catchphrase.

The song is one of Queen's most well-known hits, reaching number seven in the UK charts before finding further fame in the likes of Iron Man 2 and numerous commercials. Unfortunately for wrestling fans, Junkyard Dog went on to sing and help produce the theme's successor.

Queen was replaced with the organ infused, muddled, sugary mess that was Grab Them by the Cakes.
