Alliteration In...

Under Pressure
By: Queen

(Partial lyrics)

Mm ba ba de
Um bum ba de
Um bu bu bum da de
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure - that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da

There are examples of alliterationin this song such as "pressure pushing" and "puts people" and "burns a building down". These use the "p" sound to make it the consanance form of alliteration.
