If anything should be canceled, it’s leftism!

Well, even in its day, “Fat Bottomed Girls” has always courted controversy. The first verse describes a young man’s, umm, education at the hands of his portly nanny. The band also turned heads when they promoted the song, with the single’s cover art including a naked woman riding a bike.

To celebrate the release of the single as a double-sided single with “Bicycle Race,” the label hired a group of women to ride bicycles naked around London. So clearly, “Fat Bottomed Girls” doesn’t exactly have a clean reputation.

Not so sure it’s an ode to women, given the group’s proclivities.

Sung by a gay man that would mostly def be a liberal and quite woke. No credit!?

It irritates me now when I listen to a Bob Segar classic that I really liked back in the day. 'Turn the Page' orginal lyrics included:

Well, you walk into a restaurant all strung-out from the road

And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold

You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode

Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can

All the same old clichés, is it woman, is it man?

And you always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a stand

"Is it man" is now "Is it Dan" in that iconic verse. It drives me nuts as it doesnt even make sense why they would change it. The song is about a rock performer (apparently with long hair) on the road feeling like he's being judged as a hippie by apparently short haired rural Americans. It has nothing to fags or denigration of women or anything else the woke crowd could possibly find offensive!

Wow, I finally got that off my chest.

Given what is spewed out by big entertainment these days this is a joke.

The New Puritans are proving quite as annoying as the old.

I’m just waiting for them to replace We Are The Champions with a song celebrating participation trophies and everyone getting ice cream after the game.

The worst part about the song is it describes child sexual abuse.

THAT should be the reason.

That may be why I had no idea about this song back then. Also a few other Queen songs I don’t recall hearing or not much (“Bohmenian Rhapsody” the latter, I suspect due to the lurid nature of murder). It may be our local radio banned them.

But that said, FBG only made it to a high of 28 on our charts.

That may be the problem!

It’s offensive because Queen was not embracing their true identify, singing about women!

Mostly they just play the short version. Recently I heard it without the faggot section at all! Talk about short! (I think satellite radio.)

A shame, being the rock song with the greatest whole intro ever.

You’re right about that. Almost every hit song is about screwing in one form or another.
