“I rode my bicycle past your window last night” was a line in the song “Brand New Key” by Melanie (ca 1970)

Fat Bottom Girls is/was from the Queen album “Jazz” (ca 1978)

Two songs, several years apart, during the drug-hazed 1970-1980 era. No wonder you don’t remember... (VBEG).

My mistake. Brand New Key was a 1972 hit, not 1970.

Too funny. Actually during the late 70’s and early 80’s I was trying to keep my own kids out of the pot! Wish I could blame my memory lapses on drugs but instead think about the immense amount of stuff that has accumulated somewhere in my memory over so many years. Sometimes some things just run together and the pieces of the puzzle that pop out don’t quite fit - like trying to link the bicycle song with Fat Bottom Girls.

Thanks to you both for the gyro correction!
