Fat Bottomed Girls cut from Queen’s greatest hits to appease younger audience
Telegraph ^ | 20 August 2023 | Craig Simpson

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”.

This is just ridiculous. I remember the LP came with a poster with a picture of about 50 topless women on bicycles. It was quite a pleasant surprise for a young lad.

I had the same reaction...but after reading further, it makes sense. This is a “greatest hits” compilation marketed toward children...I think the decision is proper.

*If* you’re going to have kids listen to Queen, then perhaps the Fat Bottomed Girls track can be held back until they’re a little bit older.

This is more of a “culling” for an appropriate audience than a censorship.

Oh, man...

I remember walking across a small parking lot at college when some (doubtless misogynistic) dormie with an unusually fine sound system blasted FBG from the open windows, and I thought it was a fine bit of rock compared to the residual disco crap of the moment.

Musta pissed off a bunch of fat asses

Fat-shaming is now taboo. Now it’s sexy to be morbidly obese. The Pride flag should include an extra-wide stripe for “curvy” peeps.

We don't even see advertisements with hot girls in bikinis anymore, do we?

LOL. The younger generations get their feelings hurt very easily these days. Don’t be mean to them because it makes them cry.
