Suggestive 1978 hit single considered by Universal Music Group to be too raunchy
Queen’s Fat Bottomed Girls has been dropped from a greatest hits compilation targeted at younger listeners.
The suggestive 1978 single in praise of “dirty ladies” with fuller figures was a chart success and featured on previous selections of favourite tracks by the glam rock band.
However, a new compilation of Queen hits released by Universal Music for a younger market does not feature the Fat Bottom Girls and its lyrics celebrating the beauty of a “heap big woman”.
The new greatest hits album has been made available on Yoto, an audio platform specifically aimed at children.
A new generation listening to the work of Queen will be shielded from the song, which describes an infatuation with “Fat bottomed girls” who “make the rockin’ world go round”.
The track written by Brian May includes the lyrics “I was just a skinny lad, Never knew no good from bad, But I knew life before I left my nursery, left alone with big fat Fanny, she was such a naughty nanny, big woman, you made a bad boy out of me”.

What a load of crap. Did they ban a bunch of Rap?
Really, I thought young people liked that song. I read even Lena Dunham sang it at a party.
I just assumed this was from the bee at first
Not The Bee
Yeah, the same listeners who are all gaga over Lizzo? That makes sense
I thought the wokies believed overweight people should be celebrated. I’m surprised they blasted the removal as “fat shaming”.
"Fat Bottom Girls" is my favorite song from Queen!
This will cause the young people who may have never heard it? ..check it out.
Always wondered how long it would take the wokies to set their sights on this one. Surprised it lasted this long.
This decision must be reversed immediately!
It is a slam against body positivity, and we can’t have that!!
This is sexist and racist!
Leftist revisionism is rampant. The latest controversy over the new “Snow White” movie is another example. It comes down to a general attack on long-held traditions and values.
You can’t have an album with “Bicycle” on it without “Fat Bottomed Girls”. They go together peanut butter and jelly.
If Queen was a black band they wouldn’t touch this song.
Have they ever heard of the “music” called “Rap”!?!?!
You’d have to strike at least half of all those songs from kids. At least half, maybe 3/4 of tjphem.
Is “I like big butts” also a song off limits to these kids?
If Queen was black they would demand airplay of it.
What about “I Don’t Want to do the Bump (with a big fat woman)?
This is like keeping the “I like big butts” song available for kids, but banning kids from seeing the “Friends” episode where Ross and Rachel sing a couple verses of it...
