Murphy selects all music featured within the series himself, with the intent of maintaining a balance between show tunes and chart hits.

The cast is second behind The Beatles for most chart appearances by a group act in the Billboard Hot 100's history, and holds the record of sixth overall among all artists, with sixty-nine appearances. The cast has sold over thirty six million and over eleven million albums worldwide. The series' cover versions have also had a positive effect on the original recording artists, with sales of Rihanna's "Take a Bow" increasing by 189 percent after the song was covered in the Glee episode "Showmance".
The series features covers of numerous songs sung on-screen by the characters. Musical segments typically take the form of performances, as opposed to the characters singing spontaneously, as the intention is for the series to remain reality-based. Murphy is responsible for selecting all of the songs used, and strives to maintain a balance between show tunes and chart hits, as: "I want there to be something for everybody in every episode. That's a tricky mix, but that's very important — the balancing of that." Song choices are integral to script development, with Murphy explaining: "Each episode has a theme at its core. After I write the script, I will choose songs that help to move the story along."
Glee is choreographed by Zach Woodlee, and features five to eight production numbers per episode. Once music rights are cleared, songs are arranged and pre-recorded by the cast. Woodlee constructs the accompanying dance moves, which are then taught to the cast and filmed. Numbers can take several weeks to prepare, depending on complexity. Each episode costs at least $3 million to produce, and can take up to 10 days to film as a result of the elaborate choreography.
Another One Bites the Dust
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Steve walks warily down the street
With his 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?
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 hey
Hey I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
How do you think I'm going to 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 doorway 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 hey
Hey I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Hey
Oh take it
Bite the dust
Bite the dust hey
Hey another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust ow
Another one bites the dust he he
Another one bites the dust hay yay ya ya ya
Ooh shout
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down yeah
But I'm ready yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat
The opening verse of Glee Cast's "Another One Bites the Dust" describes a man named Steve walking cautiously down the street with a brim pulled low and ready for battle. The only sound is the rhythmic thud of his footsteps and the clatter of machine guns, forebodingly poised to strike. The chorus declares that yet another person has fallen – another one bites the dust - and another is about to bite the dust, the same fate lying in store for all who cross the song's protagonist. In the second verse, the singer considers how he will cope with the departure of someone who has taken everything from him and left him out in the cold. He questions the object of his wrath, wondering if they are satisfied with what they have done or if they can withstand the heat that is coming for them.
Another way to interpret the song's lyrics is as a cautionary tale about the toll that violence and aggression can take on society. The singer of the song seems to be a renegade figure who revels in the destruction of his enemies. He takes pride in being able to take on anyone who crosses his path, and his machine guns represent the ultimate symbol of power and control. The chorus, with its catchy repetition of "Another one bites the dust," paints a bleak picture of a world in which violence begets more violence, with each person falling like a domino until no one is left standing.

Steve walks warily down the street
Steve walks with caution down the street
With his brim pulled way down low
He wears his hat tilted low to avoid attention
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
It's eerily quiet except for the sound of his footsteps
Machine guns ready to go
He's armed and dangerous with machine guns
Are you ready hey are you ready for this?
Are you prepared for what's about to happen?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Are you anxiously waiting to see what unfolds?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Bullets start flying out the door
To the sound of the beat yeah
The sound of the gunfire is rhythmic like a beat
Another one bites the dust
Someone else met their end
And another one gone and another one gone
Multiple people are being killed
Another one bites the dust hey
Another person just died
Hey I'm gonna get you too
You'll be next in line to die
How do you think I'm going to get along
How will I survive without you?
Without you when you're gone
Once you're dead and gone
You took me for everything that I had
You robbed me of everything I had
And kicked me out on my own
You left me alone with nothing
Are you happy are you satisfied?
Are you content with what you've done?
How long can you stand the heat
How much longer can you keep this up?
Another one bites the dust
Another person just died
Hey I'm gonna get you too
You'll be next in line to die
Hey
Hey
Oh take it
Enjoy it
Bite the dust

Another one bites the dust hay yay ya ya ya
Another person just died, woohoo
Ooh shout
Exclamation of excitement
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
There are many ways to harm someone
And bring him to the ground
To defeat him or bring him to his knees
You can beat him
You can hit him repeatedly
You can cheat him
You can deceive or cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
Treat him poorly and abandon him
When he's down yeah
When he's already at his lowest point
But I'm ready yes I'm ready for you
I'm prepared for whatever you have in store for me
I'm standing on my own two feet
I'm confident and independent
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Bullets are flying out of the room
Repeating to the sound of the beat
The gunfire is still in rhythm with the music
