The Band Perry - Fat Bottomed Girls (Live On Letterman)

[@brbob4934]

Having been a fan of Queen for close to 50 yrs I'm fairly certain Brian May would enjoy this take on his classic.

[@grahamshields1532]

I'm turning 71 and its great to see these guys play music that makes me feel 17 - wow!

[@wolfedavid3700]

thats hot sauce got you...............

[@MrMalcolmshoyle]

I,m only 75 and I,ll take this band and put them against all comers. Just So brilliant.

[@RussCR5187]

Similarly, I'm 79 and the music makes me feel ... wait. Not 97. Never mind.

[@kevinkelley3657]

Its a little off key a few times, for a second or two, but for live stuff, it ain't bad. Live music is hard. In more positive news, how about that ass?

[@sofloshaund6884]

I play guitar for a living and I have played these songs for every blued eyed floozie on the way... I've never seen or heard them done this good !!!! God, she rocks !

[@patrickschacht1359]

Band Perry once again blows the roof off another performance!!! Super, Super Talented Trio!!

[@asradyne]

A worthy rendition of this great song.

[@ynklo]

These people UNDERSTAND the essence and nature of this classic song. So rare among young people today. That's why they can take it, and go on with it, and take it to places it's never been, even make it a country song. And the song doesn't just survive, it thrives. Spectacular.

[@sleddy01]

The seem like overproduced covers to me.

[@johnjefferson8187]

Yes. I have been blown away ever since I stumbled upon this one night just surfing around on KZbin. It's absolutely electric.

[@guarddog318]

@@sleddy01 - There really isn't anything new under the sun. People still want to hear what came before, however. It's what inspired them on to other things.

[@rkgreer1908]

As a lifelong songwriter, I can tell you that there is nothing that makes you happier than having your song recorded and rerecorded and performed in different styles for decades. Nobody is spinning in their grave. If you don't like it, that's OK, but why do you have to be so mean?

[@DavidWalker1]

Spot on. Bless you for saying it and saying it so well.

[@throwingpotsandpans]

Fools can't help themselves. They feel the urge to trash excellence because it makes them feel even smaller than they are.

[@UncleJ4]

Damn straight.

[@gyrojomo]

As someone who has never written a song, it gives me great pleasure to say that I agree with the songwriter. Except who cares about those who choose not to enjoy a performance like that?

[@rouseville]

Well, to be fair, it's not that they choose not to enjoy it so much as that they publicly shit on it, which seems uncalled for

[@TheProfessorOfLife]

Damn proud of The Band Perry, here in East Tennessee! FUN version of a classic song!

[@mikeecko]

Such an amazing real voice. This is a natural singer. She sings with no effort at all ❤❤❤❤

[@bikebudha01]

she fucking butchered both songs...

[@tonylegg8683]

Still can't get enough of these renditions virtually every time I come to you tube to listen to other things! Thanks guys (and sweetheart)! Great performance!

This kicks so much ass, country band doing a great rock song THEIR way. What is not to love about that. Love this.

[@kevinworley1254]

Awesome

[@lukejsoren]

She is just amazing! love her voice, her look ..so natural and real..wow

[@michaeltucker1622]

Super great take on a great song. I hate it when bands cover songs to the note. Love it when they make it their own. They made it sound like it was MEANT to be a country song. Well done!

[@Avid_boater]

It was a country song. Dolly Parton wrote and recorded it.

[@michaeltucker1622]

@Avid_boater She may have covered it, but Brian May wrote it.

[@classixdrummer]

Okay, um . . . . Wow! I would not have imagined they had this in them. Very brave song choices and they rocked them. Solid all around. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised as anyone that gets it together enough for Nashville have definitely worked on their craft and honed their skills.

[@tyesjazz]

Just now watching this. Man, she can sing. I absolutely love that style.

[@rocky1953]

This never ages! Still awesome ! Kimberly is still just as gorgeous today as she was when this song was posted in 2013..!

[@nellennatea]

I really like this band. Heard them on BBC Radio 2 this am. With Terry Wogan. So looked them up when got back and found this. Thanks for putting this on here. So much appreciated.

[@mikefoor5162]

Cream rises to the top this overflowed!!! Such talent to cross music to different types and do it well

[@counciousstream]

Great band and Kimberly is a perfect front-woman. Such confidence and charisma and yeah she can sing too!

[@magicpainthorse]

She's beautiful and talented and doesn't have to dress like a sleeze to promote herself.

[@jazluvr99]

My favorite Queen song. And this DAMNED well does it more than justice!!! I think this band has a new fan now...

[@karlspear6729]

I, as a long time musician, love this version. If you are going to do a cover, do it in your style. Don't just sing the words and play the notes, OWN IT.

[@alicemudgarden247]

Agreed!

[@c5back9]

Correct! Anybody with a sense of timing, phrasing, and half a voice can do karaoke, but it takes talent to make a well covered hit your very own.

[@paulchinniah4159]

[@jodyallen9696]

It takes a tremendous amount of guts to cover two iconic vocalists back to back, Kimberly did an awesome job.

[@Paul8820]

Well three iconic vocalists if you count Freddie Dolly and Whitney

Back to back or bottom to bottom?

[@Swordsfor200Alex]

[@Swordsfor200Alex]

@@jodyallen9696 - You don't stand corrected by that jack wagon. I as explained to shit for brains. Dolly was the original artist and Whiteny covered her. The Band Perry doesn't get credit for covering Whitney. You only cover the original artist once. Your original statement was true.

NYC crowd was doing their best to keep up - bless their hearts.

[@axiomist1076]

Wooowww !!! These guys really rocked the hell out of the joint, without losing their "country". I hadnt seen or heard them in a while and they completely blew me away. Kimberly looks soooo hot! She is stuffed real fine !

[@joelhaaland2639]

I loved it ! I am a huge Zeppelin fan and when I was younger I thought " how dare anyone do a cover of Zeppelin song ! But as I got older I grew to understand that it was the highest compliment. They were honoring the original, not saying we can do it better. I play guitar, not especially well but when I play a Zeppelin, Allman Bros or Thin Lizzy song it is just that, a tribute to the artist that did a song that I really love.

[@paulsansonetti7410]

Im relatively certain its a Queen song homie not led Zeppelin

[@briangordon2208]

🤣😂🤣😂 it's Queen! 😂🤣🤣

[@davidnonnenmocher5122]

Curiosity brought me here, and I'm glad it did. This is such a killer version!

[@EMSFREAK101]

They honestly look like they are having so much fun while doing this performance. Wonderful tribute.

Band Perry are definitely not Pop Rock, although they occasionally cover rock songs. I don’t think they can be put into a single genre since they sing a bit of everything. Some of their pop music is definitely folk oriented while others are more “POP” oriented.
