Hollywood Records Remixes
[[SHOPSPAN-pagetitlelinks|||Hollywood Records release]]
This page includes details of the remixes which
are known to have been produced by Hollywood Records from 1991
onwards, which were released on the 1991 remaster CD's, the 'We
Will Rock You' 1992 remixed single, and the 1999 'Basic Queen
Bootlegs' promo.
Of these remixes, only one is officially available in the UK,
namely the Rick Rubin Remix of 'We Will Rock You', which was
released on the 'No-One But You' single and in the 'Queen Singles
Collection 4' boxed set. The remaining remixes seem to be
exclusive to North America.
For two of the remixes, I haven't transcribed the lyrics, due to
the difficulty in deciphering the rap vocals, and my reluctance
to waste my time on anything that bad.

Another
One Bites The Dust
(Ice Cube Remix)
Only available on the 'Basic Queen Bootlegs' US promo CD. Length
3:22.
Remixed by Chyskillz Remix, featuring Ice Cube, Hi-C and
Chyskillz.
This track features completely new music, and only retains
Freddie singing 'Another One Bites The Dust', alongside other
vocalists so you can barely hear him, which are rearranged into a
chant. It's not really a remix, more of a different song which
barely samples the original. Altogether this has to be one of the
worst tracks in the Queen catalogue, even ranking below some of
the 'You Don't Fool Me' remixes, which is really saying
something.
The lyrics are very hard to make out, so attempting to transcribe
it would be pointless.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'The Game'
album page.
Another One Bites The Dust
(Phase And Rave Remix)
Only available on the 'Basic Queen Bootlegs' US promo CD. Length
4:12.
Remixed by Phase 5 and Dave Ogilvie (known as 'Rave').
This track retains some of the music of the original, and many of
Freddie's vocals, but adds a dance beat, DJ effects, rap vocals,
and samples from 'Flash', some other artists songs, television
programmes and films. It's a bit of an odd track, but quite well
done.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'The Game'
album page.
Ladies and gentlemen, before proceeding with the main business of
the day, which is the selling of these lots at any price, we are
gonna have a little entertainment, very little
Flash, a-ah
Saviour of the universe
Bring it on down
Steve walks wearily down the street
Brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Hey, yeahh
How do you think I'm gonna get along
Without you when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the door way the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Look out
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
And the record of the famous dilly silly billy song
(Unknown dialogue) the record was loud but, but it only woke me
up
(Unknown dialogue)
Gee, that's funny, can it be that this jukebox works like magic?
Let it go, let yourself go
Are you ready for this?
OK
We'd like to capture your mind right now
Take you a little bit higher
One two in the house say you don't stop
One two in the house say you don't quit
Raw fusion controlling the set tonight
Just lickin' them down with the funk (unknown lyrics)
You see, me and old school grooves go way back
And now I think it's fair for me to say that
Sheek and fad back, one of my favourites
Had to be Queen when I did my thing
On the street corner, or at a block party
But not at the club see, 'cos suckers might call me
My mamma said I was special
Got rhymes like my face got freckles
And you know I'm never leaving the girls alone
Doc Nasty wrecking the microphone
I'm just making you trip on the stuff I be writing up
Other MC's (unknown lyrics) tighten up
So for me, respect is a must have
(Unknown lyrics) of biting the dust, in other words
Hey, it's getting flown like a kite so
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, ow
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, hey
Ooh, shout
Hey, what are you trying to do? You ruined my record man, I just
bought it
I don't care what you just bought, you get your little fanny
perpendicular and get ready for school
(Unknown dialogue)
I'm not going to school

Body Language
(Susan
Rogers Remix)
Only available on the 'Hot Space' Hollywood remaster CD. Length
4:44.
Remixed by Susan Rogers.
This version is similar to the album version, with additional
percussion, keyboards and guitar.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'Hot Space' album page.

Don't Try
Suicide
(Muggs Remix)
Only available on the 'Basic Queen Bootlegs' US promo CD. Length
3:35.
Remixed by Gransmaster Muggs.
As with the Ice Cube remix of 'Another One Bites The Dust', this
is effectively a new song with samples of the original mixed in,
rather than a remix. It features brand new music, new rap vocals,
and really only retains the 'suicide, suicide', 'don't do it,
yeah', and 'don't try suicide' vocals. It is preferrable to the
'Ice Cube' remix, but only just.
The lyrics are very hard to make out, often with several vocals
over the top of each other, so attempting to transcribe it would
be pointless.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'The Game' album page.
Dragon
Attack
(RAK and Jack Benson Remix)
Available on the 'The Game' Hollywood remaster CD, and the 'Queen
Basic Bootlegs' promo. Length 4:21.
Remixed by RAK and Jack Benson.
This is a dance remix, which has additional vocals and a new rap
section (in italics). The backing has the line 'it's a dragon'
repeated throughout.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'The Game' album page.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, I'll tell you what to do
It's, it's, it's a dragon attack
It's, it's, it's
It's, it's, it's a dragon attack
Take me to the room where the red's all red
Take me out of my head's that's what I said, yeah, ow
Hey, take me to the room where the green's all green
And from what I've seen it's hot, it's mean, yeah
I'm gonna use my stack
It's gotta be Mack
Gonna get me on the track
Got a dragon on my back
Ooh
Take me to the room where the beat's all round
Gonna eat the sound, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take me to the room where the black's all white
And the white's all black, take me back to the shack
She don't take no prisoners
She gonna give me the business
Got a dragon on my back
Yeah, it's a dragon attack
Get down
She was a predator
She headed the same
Immorally destroying the faith of the flame
Demon in a white dress
So evil she might just
Possess the breath of death
Excepting nothing
Nothing could bring back the vision
Saints causeway
Hearts beat in prison
She what she did to me
Put me before the visionary
So that would give the best of me an effigy
As I fleed the heat of a hab a dab
Dragon attack
Low down - she don't take no prisoners (get down)
Go down - gonna give me the business
No time - yeah, chained to the rack (get down)
Show time - got a dragon on my back
Show down - go find another customer
Slow down - I gotta make my way, ay
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Ow
Get, get, get, get, get, get down, on my way
Get, get, get, get, get, get down, on my way
Get, get, get, get, get, get down
Get, get, get down
Alright
Ah, look out
Ow, yeah, right on
Dragon Attack
(Rave
Remix)
Only available on the 'Basic Queen Bootlegs' US promo CD. Length
4:18.
Remixed by Dave Ogilvie (known as 'Rave').
This is essentially an instrumental version of the album track,
with some minor changes, but nothing you can really notice. This
is a great version of the track, which really allows Brian's
guitar to shine without the vocals obscuring it. It's a definite
highlight of the 'Basic Queen Bootlegs' album, though it does
sound rather out of place among so many dance and rap versions.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'The Game' album page.
Fat Bottomed Girls
(Brian Malouf Remix)
Only available on the 'Jazz' Hollywood remaster CD. Length 4:21.
Remixed by Brian Malouf.
This mix is very similar to the original, with some rearranged
and some new lyrics, and features some additional guitar by
Brian.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'Jazz' album page.
Oh, won't you take me home tonight
Oh, down beside your red fire light
Oh, and you give it all you got
Fat bottomed girls
You make the rocking world go round
Hey
I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew life before I left my nursery, huh
Left alone with big fat fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman, you made a bad boy out of me
Hey, hey
Wow
I've been singing with my band
Across the water across the land
I've seen every blue eyed floozy on the way, hey
But their beauty and their style
Wear kind of smooth after a while
Take me to them dirty ladies every time
So come on
Oh, won't you take me home tonight
Oh, down beside your red fire light
Oh, and you give it all you got
Fat bottomed girls
You make the rocking world go round
Fat bottomed girls
You make the rocking world go round
Hey

Now I've got mortgages on homes
I've got stiffness in my bones
Ain't no beauty queens in this locality

Hope that I still get my pleasure
Still got my greatest treasure
Heap big woman you don't make a big man of me
Now get this
Oh, I know, you gonna take me home tonight, please
Oh, down beside that red fire light
Oh, you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Alright, ride 'em come on
Fat bottomed girls
Yes, yes
Oh, they get me everytime
Them dirty ladies - you know
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Fat Bottomed Girls
(OK
Mix)
Only available on the 'Basic Queen Bootlegs' US promo CD. Length
3:55.
Remixed by Organized Konfusion.
This is a fairly good remix which loses the music, replacing it
with new heavy drums and guitar, which has a similar feel to the
original. It retains many of Freddie's vocals, which actually
come from a different take, and a number of rap sections (in
italics below), and contains samples from 'We Will Rock You',
amongst others. This is definitely one of the better remixes from
the 'Basic Queen Bootlegs' compilation, and without the rap
vocals could be an excellent mix.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'Jazz' album page.

Ooooh, I'm in love with my, love with my car
Oooooooh
The machine of a dream, such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumping, and the hub-caps all gleam
When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
With my hand on your grease gun
Oh, it's like a disease son
I'm in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal
Told my girl I'd have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburettor
So she made tracks saying this is the end now
Cars don't talk back they're just four wheeled friends now
When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruising in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive
I'm in love with my car (love with my, love with my car)
Gotta feel for my automobile
I'm in love with my car (love with my, love with my car)
String back gloves in my automolove
(Love with my, love with my car)
(Love with my, love with my car)

Remixed by Nicholas Sansano.
This remix is basically the original version, with additional
guitar and percussion, and other effects. The lyrics are similar,

Ha, ha, ha, ha
Now once upon a time
An old man told me a fable
When the piper is gone
And the soup is cold on the table
And when the black crow flies
To find a new destination
That is the sign
Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to ogre-battle-fight
He gives a great big cry
And he can swallow up the ocean
With a mighty tongue he catches flies
In the palm of a hand incredible size
One great big eye
Has a focus in your direction
Now the battle is won
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to ogre battle fight
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Cool
The ogre men are still inside
The two-way mirror mountain
You gotta keep down right out of sight
You can't see in but they can see out
'Oooh, keep a look out'
The ogre men are coming out
From the two-way mirror mountain
They're running up behind
And they're coming all about
Can't go east 'cos you gotta go south
Ogre men are going home
The great big fight is over
Bugle blow let trumpet cry
Ogre battle lives for evermore
Wow, oh, oh
You can come along
You can come along
Come to ogre battle

Yeah, yeah
Fear me you Lords and Lady preachers
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command your very souls you unbelievers
Bring before me what is mine

I swear that you'll be mine
The seven seas of rhye
Sister - I live and lie for you
You are mine I possess you
Belong to you forever
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Storm the master-marathon I'll fly through
By flash and thunder fire and I'll survive
Then I'll defy the laws of nature
And come out alive
Then I'll get you
Be gone with you - you shod and shady senators
Give out the good, leave out the bad evil cries

Available on the 'Queen Basic Bootlegs' US promo, and on a promo
CD single. Length 3:49.

This is a superb reworked version, which has a much heavier
sound, with an instrumental section and a reprise. It includes
some studio dialogue at the start and end, and samples from other
tracks including 'Sheer Heart Attack' and 'Dragon Attack'. It is
also known as the 'Trash' mix on some bootlegs, and is generally
considered to be one of the best Queen remixes ever produced.

album page.

Under Pressure
(Mr
Mixx Remix)
Only available on the 'Basic Queen Bootlegs' US promo CD. Length
3:58.
Remixed by Mr Mixx.
This remix loses the original music, replacing it with a
percussion beat and DJ effects, with the bassline in a few
places. The vocals are rearranged, often repeated, and some extra
vocals are also present (the 'that's right' and 'hold it' vocals,
shown in italics below). It's not the best remix, but not the
worst either, and it least it retains quite a few of the vocals.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'Hot Space' album page.

We Are The
Champions
(Rick Rubin Remix)
Available on the 'Queen Basic Bootlegs' promo, the 'We Will Rock
You' 1992 US regular CD and cassette releases, and a 12"
promo single. Length 3:23.
This remix contains the original music, but features new
percussion, and some additional vocals (presumably by Rick
Rubin). These appear in italics below.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'News Of The
World' album page.
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence (ain't a funkin')
But committed no crime (ain't a funkin', ain't a funkin')
And bad mistakes (ain't a funkin', got it, ha)
I've made a few (got it, ha)
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
And I need to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers (ooooh, oooh)
'Cos we are the champions
Of the world
(Got it, ha)
I've taken my bows (hit me)
And my curtain calls
You've brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it, I thank you all (ain't a
funkin', ain't a funkin')
But it's been no bed of roses (ain't a funkin')
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
And I need to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers (ooooh, oooh)

We Will Rock You
(Rick Rubin Remix)
Available on the 'No-One But You' single, the 'News Of The World'
Hollywood CD, a 1992 US single, in the 'Queen Singles Collection
4' boxed set, and on some other releases. Length 4:59.
This is the only remix on this page which is available in the UK.
The first 23 seconds or so is mostly silent, while the first half
of the track (upto 2:19) is similar to the original, with
additional percussion and sound effects. The rest of the track
has a new feel, with more complete drums and guitar fills,
featuring Flea and Chad from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers,
presumably on bass and drums respectively.
The vocal towards the end ('what does it all mean') is possibly
George Bush (senior), the final line is unknown, and the 'clap'
lines are spoken, presumably by Rick Rubin. Any lyrics not from
the original appear in italics below.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'News Of The World'
album page.

is apparently an edit of the track, with a similar arrangement to
the original album version)
