In The Walking Dead season 8 premiere, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) wakes up in what appears to be a flash forward look into the future. "Another One Rides the Bus" plays. A spoof on Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" by parody master Weird Al Yankovic, the song comes straight out of left field — and the multiple Grammy Award-winning musician is just as surprised as you are.
I’m just as confused as you are why “Another One Rides the Bus” was featured in #TheWalkingDead season premiere, but I’m extremely honored! pic.twitter.com/CzCqcQOiie

"I'm just as confused as you are why 'Another One Rides the Bus' was featured in The Walking Dead season premiere, but I'm extremely honored," Yankovic wrote on Twitter, accompanied by a clip from the season opener. The season premiere, also the series' landmark 100th episode, gave fans much to discuss online, and the use of a Weird Al song was just one of many hot subjects:
A Weird Al song in the walking dead season premiere. Yeah definitely a sentence I never thought I'd say #TWD100
