The Left Ruins Everything: Now They're Cancelling Classic Rock: Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls” is the Next Target
PJ Media ^ | 08/21/2023 | Chris Queen

Posted on 08/21/2023 9:30:32 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Rock music has always been about tweaking the establishment. From the early rock & roll days, musicians have specialized in sticking it to the man. That’s all well and good when the man is a buttoned-down square with traditional values, but when the woke becomes the establishment — you kids had better turn that music off.

We’ve already seen the left go after authors, films, and TV shows, but that’s not all. Now wokescolds are going after classic rock music. It all started when Universal Records added Queen’s “Greatest Hits” album to the library for Yoto, a new entertainment platform aimed at a youth audience.

“Queen’s greatest hits are now available!” crows the Yoto website. Only it’s not true because one of Queen’s biggest smashes is missing. Universal left “Fat Bottomed Girls” off the Greatest Hits album on the Yoto platform.

“Fat Bottomed Girls” is an ode to women of the title, and it has been staple of classic rock radio for decades. It’s unmistakably Queen, and it’s a lot of fun to harmonize with.

The Daily Mail described “Fat Bottomed Girls” as “a humorous and hard-rocking tribute to a young man’s appreciation of fuller-figured ladies.” The tune hit #11 on the British charts and #24 on the Billboard Hot 100; it also went double-platinum stateside. But it’s too much for the woke folx.

Guitarist Brian May wrote the song specifically for lead singer Freddie Mercury to enjoy. He said in 2008, “‘I wrote it with Fred in mind, as you do, especially if you’ve got a great singer who likes fat bottomed girls… or boys.”

According to the Daily Mail, music industry insiders are mystified at the decision, with one telling the news site that the song is nothing more than “merely a bit of fun.”

I am confused, because I see women of that figure type more and more in commercials for beauty products and as models. Maybe the problem is the use of the word “fat”. What word should be used to describe it? There is that “I like big butts” song. That’s referring to the same thing, so maybe it will get cancelled too, even though both songs are commenting on that size of backside in a complimentary way.

A while back Canada banned Dire Strait’s “Money for Nothing” because it had a reference to ‘faggot’ in it..................

And Knopfler quit singing the line, he amended it for the song.

I recently heard that the Rolling Stones “Under My Thumb” is also now BAD because it about controlling women.

Thanks for the reminder. Yes, referencing my post #12, that is another great song that just grinds my gears when I have to hear the modified lyrics.

Don't tell the wokesters that No by Dodie Stevens is highly politically incorrect in 2023. Same for Gene Pitney's Mecca.

I cant find a ‘replacement’. One lyrics site has the entire verse edited out.

I was thinking he could have used ‘maggot’ instead, but that would be an insult to maggots.................

Same with Dion DiMucci's This Little Girl.

This was probably 3 to 5 years before my 'awareness' of the rock and roll music scene in my youth. But here is your song.

I dont know any songs by the Barbarians so far as I am aware.

While rappers constantly sing about big butt hoes and killing ni**as and flouting the law, this innocent and funny song must be censored as it was sung by white men who are racist for liking broad beamed women. When will people laugh at these idiots and tell them to pound sand? How did people get so danged sensitive?
