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”.

Just change the spelling to “Phat bottomed girls” and it’s suddenly acceptable.
I hate that song. It’s about an adult woman molesting a boy in her charge.
I never noticed that, mainly because I never liked the song anyway so I never listened to it, but you’re right. That song shouldn’t even be playing on the radio, much less in an album aimed at children.
Much of Queen’s music is depraved. People don’t realize Bohemian Rhapsody is about a man unrepentanly murdering his homosexual partner in sodomy. But then look at Freddie Mercury, consider the source. Americans have become blind to evil.
How many kids even listen to/register, and then reflect on, the actual words of a song? I almost never did.
It’s just instruments and voice. Either it all sounds good together or it does not.
Queen is a great band but…
…as a matter of principle, the following Queen songs should never be played again: Bicycle Race, Radio Gaga, Fat Bottom Girls, and Under Pressure. ; )
Thank you.
