John Deacon has written or co-written for the band. The installment begins by noting that although Deacon didnât write as many songs as his three band mates, some of his compositions were among Queenâs biggest hits. The narrator first points out that it was Johnâs bass part that helped drive the bandâs classic 1981 collaboration with David Bowie, âUnder Pressure.â The episode then looks at one of the first tunes John contributed to the group, âYouâre My Best Friend,â which appeared on Queenâs 1975 album A Night at the Opera. The song reached #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #9 on the U.K. singles chart.
