THEY AIN'T LYING!!! | QUEEN - "FAT BOTTOM GIRLS" | REACTION

[@lindseylongley8248]

You need to watch the full Live Aid performance. Best thing I have ever seen. The way he commands a crowd is inspiring!

[@armywife1641]

Freddie was the greatest front man of all

[@vivaladanny316]

There has never been more truth told wish he was still alive it be so amazing to see were he would be now

[@imweakfordeaky]

This song was written by Brian May. My answer : watch a documentary, not that movie first. The movie is not a biography, it’s a ‘biopic’ …

[@islandgreenstrong]

More Queen songs - "Another One Bites The Dust" - "Killer Queen" - "Love Of My Life" - "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" - "Bicycle" - "You're My Best Friend" - "We Are The Champions" - "Under Pressure" - "Who Wants To Live Forever" - "Flash" You can't go wrong with any of these songs!!

[@reneebush2399]

This song is actually meant to be played with another song of theirs called “Bicycle Race”. “Fat Bottom Girls” was the A side of the track. “Bicycle Race” was the B side. They often played the two songs back to back in concert. Similarly to the way that “We Will Rock You” and We are the Champions” were played back to back in live shows as well.

[@pattiebraymanskelly954]

Oh...and the uncensored video for "Bicycle Race"😉😉

[@bluebell3720]

They were released as double a side both at no 11 on the uk charts

[@charliemac64]

Watch a few documentaries, get to know their music, learn about them, THEN watch the movie. I saw these guys in 1982 when I was 18. Freddie owned the stage like nobody I saw before or since. One of a kind.

[@Gillie51-bl8su]

I agree. The movie had so many things wrong...

[@aidenrainey]

Under Pressure is a great one There are scientist who studied Freddie's voice and they believe he has the greatest singing voice ever he can hit baritone to tenor covering 3 full octaves

[@marypalmer1251]

I tried watching the movie, but I'm a child of the 70s and nothing compares to Freddie

[@TheLadyDraconus]

I was waiting for this reaction. I enjoyed the movie Bohemian Rhapsody as a Queen fan. You'll definitely dive into his sadness through his life trying to figure out his sexuality and what not. But you need to see Live Aid before you watch the movie. Theres a KZbin video that did a side by side of the original, with the movie version. One version was played in one ear and the movie on the other. So Remi Malek pulled off Freddie SO SO well.

[@bluebell3720]

Just incase someone takes your comment the wrong way Malek doesnt sing they mostly use Freddie vocals and marc does some here and there

[@bluebell3720]

He left mary for David but in the film he was always alone... 85 He lived with peter, joe then jim at garden lodge in the film he lives alone...

[@6-kids-uk]

Didn't Brian May write this song l

[@TheLadyDraconus]

@@6-kids-uk I believe so. I read an interview he wrote it for Freddie.

[@janicelsutton9437]

I would definitely watch the Queen Live Aid performance before the movie. I prefer watching the real Queen performances over the biopic, because nobody can perform like Freddie. If you get a chance, check out "Love of my Life" at Wembley. It's absolutely amazing!

[@aut0maniak]

I prefer Rio love of my life It's actually part of the movie soundtrack

[@karlsmith2570]

Yes, a.b. You Heard Freddie Mercury say "Get On Your Bikes And Ride" Which was setting up the song, "Bicycle Race"

[@michellebuchanan730]

Freddie was a musical genius

[@sherryheim5504]

This has been a favorite song of mine since it came out. Brian wrote this song for Freddie. Thank you for reacting to this great song.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

HEY, Thank you for the great Queen reaction! This song is AWESOME LIVE at Milton Keynes Bowl in 1982... Freddie is always BEST live, and the performance at Milton Keynes is HOT. (I think it's better than the official MV.)

[@cherripaynegraham4638]

No watch a doc not the movie!! GENUINE QUEEN ALWAYS!! LOL TO YOU AB FROM YOUR 74 YR. OLD SUPER FAN!! LOVE YOUR DANCING!! KEEP IT GOING!!

[@Michelle-day]

Hahahaha I just love watching you! Go FREDDY! Heck yeah!

[@colleenrose9367]

The movie was a truthful depiction of queen, how the boys got togethè, grew with all its aches and pains, and an indepth look at freddie. Good movie!

[@nadersharp]

Six years after this amazing performance Freddie Mercury would die from AIDS...😢 We still love ya Freddie, and will NEVER FORGET YOUR INCREDIBLE PRESENCE, NOR YOUR FANTASTIC SMILE, LOVE, AND THE BEST VOCALS TO EVER BE PRESENT ON THIS PLANET, I PRAY YOU NOW KNOW HOW MUCH YOU TRULY WERE ADMIRED AND LOVED!! I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE ENTERTAINING EVERYONE ON THE OTHER SIDE!!! AND SOON ONE DAY YOUR BAND MATES WILL JOIN YOU IN HEAVENLY MUSICAL BLISS!! 🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥😎😎😎❤❤❤

[@deborahallen3318]

I believe this song and the performance was done in the late 70s, he passed in 1991 nevertheless, every word you said about Freddie is totally true! He left us way too soon, but his music will live on forever and we will never forget this brilliantly talented, beautiful man. 👑💙🌈

[@libbyrn8974]

Big girl’s anthem 😂 love this song. Got just a hint of country! Brilliant song.

[@sherribrock2726]

I loved the movie and I am a huge fan!! You were speaking of Freddie’s confidence, in one video he is wearing a pair of white shorts. That’s it, just the shorts. No socks, shoes or shirt. He always has a blast on stage which is so fun to watch!!

[@pattispatsy3701]

As a girl in the eighty's with some oranges, this was my anthem! :)))) still want you to check out carrie underwood, miranda lambert somthin bad :) i know you will love it

[@JVTrickypants]

Such a fun song - Queen was all over the map and love that. Great reaction!

[@LibbyAnn]

You're very good at what you do! I love your honest and humorous reactions! ❤️😊❤️😊❤️

[@SoftKitteh]

"Get on your bikes and ride" was a reference to a song brought out at roughly the same time called "Bicycle Race" where they filmed a ton of naked women riding bicycles.

[@kathleenohare8770]

The Documentary is more time line accurate....I personally liked that better than the movie...DAYS OF OUR LIVES is Documentary

[@ellesee7079]

Can you do Under Pressure live at Wembley. You see Freddie and the crowd, and start to understand how amazing he was from the crowd reaction.

[@johnniekilgore9413]

Now you need to watch "Bicycle Race" on the single it was the flip side. I think you would enjoy "Bicycle Race" the original video. It will surprise you.

[@bluebell3720]

They were released as double a side Both no 11 uk charts

[@jodyheigaard9949]

When you're a little further into your Queen journey and have listened to their later stuff you should watch The Show Must Go On, which is a documentary produced by Jim Beach (Queen's manager) primarily about Queen after Freddie died. Other songs to react to: White Queen (Odeon Hammersmith), You Take My Breath Away (Hyde Park '77), Dragon Attack & Save Me (Montreal '81 - actually anything from that concert is great), anything from the Wembley '86 concert, Love of My Life (Rio '85) Live Aid '85 (if you haven't done that yet), Stone Cold Crazy, The Prophet's Song (lyric version), '39 (there are numerous live versions that are great), Spread Your Wings (official version - John's on piano), Anything from the Budapest concert. There are quite a few fun (and a few sad) videos from their later years after they quit touring because of Freddie's illness. With 20 years of genius to pick from, there are just too many to name them all.

[@AndieO]

Hearing Freddie do Who Wants To Live Forever is almost spiritual. It hits in a way that's hard to describe.

[@reneebush2399]

I was just thinking about that being a good documentary for him to watch later down the line as well.

[@tuxedotservo]

"Get on your bikes and ride!" This was released on a double A-side single along with "Bicycle Race" - that line (inadvertently or not) ties the two songs together.

[@katehaynes5735]

I'm sure "get on your bikes and ride" in "Fat Bottomed Girls" is intentional. There is a line in "Bicycle Race" about fat bottomed girls on bikes.

[@nettiemac]

Confidence was something he never lacked!

[@sandrahilton3239]

watch everything you will be totally enthralled and hooked. Best band EVER

[@jodiedehart3314]

AB- " orange juice..orange juice if you squeeze 'em..." Me- 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀 Also on a side note, about right in the middle of Home Free's Butts Remix, they sang a sample of Fat Bottom Girls....hey, if ya do a song called Butts Remix, it's ESSENTIAL to mix in Fat Bottom Girls!!🍑🍑🍑

[@melanieheathbeasley133]

I appreciated that it explained why so many songs of theirs are completely different. They were each written by different band members and it finally made their music make sense. Like Styx....they’re just weird

[@robindew9072]

They definitely could rock. Freddie was amazing on stage.

[@angiemottershead1394]

[@anitamckane7927]

We call what Freddie is wearing is called braces. Americans call them supenders.

[@PatrickC63]

Both! The movie is a peak, and all the documentary work are puzzle pieces. You put them together. I am a Queen fan, seen them at Wembley Stadium, and watched the movie. I want it all!

[@AndieO]

Two tracks that aren't Queen, but are a nice accompaniment are Grace Kelly and Big Girl You Are Beautiful by Mika. He really hits alot of the same buttons.

[@lcbcreative]

Personally, I'd say no to the movie. The great thing about Queen is that there are a number of quality documentaries and interviews on line. There are a lot of books written. Their story is complex and fascinating. A real rabbit hole and a fun deep dive. The movie had some wonderful performances in it and it was a great way to get younger audiences introduced to the band, but you already know who they are. Too much fiction in the movie. I understand why they did it, typical movie business tactics, but the truth is far more interesting.

[@Danielik25]

Yes👍

[@barbaramendoza2202]

Personally, I enjoyed the movie. It introduces Queen, highlights their journey. Very true that timelines are shifted around and the character that was portrayed as evil was an amalgam of a few people. The main goal of Hollywood is ALWys to make money and entertain. Therefore more “drama” is added for entertainment/money purposes. Brian May realizes this, but says that Rami respected and portrayed Freddie well, the story of their struggle as a band was shown, and their music was introduced/included. He understood that Hollywood needed to do what they did to make a well sold movie. It introduced many new younger people to Queen. That’s why a Queen song was #1 on Spotify for 2020, Official Bohemian Rhapsody has over 1 Billion views, and there are so many new people doing Reaction Videos, Instagram posts, viewing of Documentaries & Official Videos, and sold out attendances at Queen + AL Concerts (for those that chose to). . The movie added to the Fandom and continues their Legacy. Anyway, that’s how I look at it and I’m 70.

[@barbaramendoza2202]

@K R Yes, that’s how I feel. I enjoyed it, realizing the timeline etc. were not factual. It is a Hollywood movie, NOT a documentary.

[@suestoons]

As I make my way through this playlist I notice you often comment on Freddie's confidence. On stage yes, at home he was a very shy private person who loved art and cats. On the official Queen channel they have a playlist of documentaries. I'd watch them over the movie.

[@zigman63]

Its a strange question as iam a die hard queen fan who was in rehab when Freddie died,I went to the tribute concert at Wembley in 92,but as a 58yr old fan I can't bring myself to someone else playing Freddie.

[@DavidBrowningBYD]

I have a friend who used to do his own parody of this song called "Fat-Bottomed Bears" that was amazaing! (bears = hairy gay men, usually hefty guys)

[@jnelson9801]

Any of the 1981 Montreal live concert performances or the 1986 Wembly live concert performances are FIRE!!!

[@knew3355]

The movie was good but sad in my opinion. It is more focused on Freddie’s personal life, which was interesting but tragic. Being a homosexual man at the onset of the AIDS epidemic was a troubled place to be. RIP Freddie.

[@nikkibanning176]

Freddie yes, but the stars for me are the drumming and guitar licks.

[@stevewalsh4850]

It’s worth a watch

[@suzannetungate2560]

NovartiS

[@jessicatennis5318]

Freddie just like Prince was very reserved outside of performing. In many ways an introvert that. Do watch Bohemian Rhapsody, it will give you a better insight into him. Very much tortured, a woman he loves completely but sexually incompatible with.

[@PatrickC63]

This video is part of their Greatest Flix which came out in 1981. I had it on laser disc when it first released on disc.

[@kimking6036]

That movie is So Good!! It's like the man playing Freddie is Freddie. He does it in a way that you can easily forget it's not Freddie. Please watch it

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

The movie is NOT a documentary - and having that in mind you should see it. It made me a serious fan of Queens - and I'm 70 years old - but never knew them - in Denmark other groups were well known - and then life went on - - and then I saw Rocketman - and was excited - but happy that that was quit another beast - it was a musical - . I resented Bohemian Rhapsody but at last I surrendered - and was hooked! Since then I have been hooked - -- but bare in mind - it IS a movie - made to be entertaining - therefor it is not a documentary - but neither a lie. Enjoy .

[@kellypease301]

You need to watch all of it!

[@richarddeese1991]

Thanks. Yes, it went by quickly. That was the "official video" version, which is somewhere from :45 to 1:00 shorter than the album version. I got this album, "Jazz" (33 & 1/3 LP) when it first came out. Because of this song, and one called "Bicycle", they put a poster in the album. It folded out into a 4 panel wide shot of naked women riding 10 speeds around some school track. Yeah, I hid that poster. ;) tavi

[@thomaswhitten2537]

He isn't wearing overalls,that's suspenders fairly popular in the 80's. But YOU may be familiar with them if you think back to your grandfathers...The much older generation,were very well known to wear them long before the 80 ' came around. (Watch the movie)

[@tammyblackford8538]

The movie is totally worth watching. It doesn’t sugarcoat anything, which I appreciate. But…a bit of Queen trivia…Brian May, the lead guitarist, is an actual genius. He is Dr. Brian May, He has a PhD is Astrophysics. And each member of the group is in the song writers hall of fame, having each had at least 2 songs each reach #1. There is nothing they can’t do.

[@stormy081464]

The movie is a good overall story but you also need to watch a documentary first so you know the differences. So the answer to your question is yes to both lol. "Days of our lives" is a good one. But there are several

How about Another One Bites the Dust or We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions. You also need to watch their Live Aide concert-20 minutes of rock and roll history.

[@juttapopp1869]

Personally, I love all Queen, but early-Queen is my favourite of all time. Anything off Queen2 Album is Gold. Try "March of the Black Queen " ... they were only as good again imho ( though each and every Album is good and Contains real gems) with Innuendo, the last Album released while Freddie lived. And then, of course, there's "Mother Love" from the Made in Heaven Album...

[@grandtheftmanualv945]

That whole comment could have been made by so many Queen fans, and yet the irony is that if Queen started at Sheer Heart Attack and finished at The Miracle, they would STILL be the greatest band ever with that material!

This was a great reaction! If you have a chance, could you react to the live performance of this song at Milton Keynes Bowl 1982? The band and Freddie were🔥🔥🔥🔥that night! As to the movie, I would watch some docs first. Also if you want to know the real Freddie there are many interviews with him on KZbin. I think the movie took too many liberties with his story and you can't see his real personality.

[@karenj3611]

This is actually one song I prefer the studio version over the live version

[@danajefferson5793]

The movie is good, but it’s more of a hit and miss about Freddie Mercury and Queen 👑. Like the woman Mary never left Freddie Mercury side when he came out to her. Queen never broke up, they just took time away from each other and he never told his parents that he was gay. It’s still a good movie about Queen

[@Danielik25]

I don ´t like the story about his illness and Live Aid, all wrong. This movie is like the story about three good guys and one bad selfish guy who was punished

[@danajefferson5793]

The movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" won four Oscars I think. In trying to condense 20 years into 2 hours they had to take some liberties with the chronology and such, but it was a GREAT movie! It gives you a feel for the personalities and the flavor of the times. Then go watch the documentaries to get all the details in proper order. "The Show Must Go On- The Queen and Adam Lambert Story" is the most current one. I saw them at the LA Forum in 2019, they were absolutely fantastic. Enjoy!

[@maggiewinsatt5678]

Movie is like the clift notes of a great book. Gives some info but usually misses the more meaningful points. Still worth the watch but don't take it as gospel. Also, you reacted to a line about riding a bike... it was his way of shaming people for a sad joke men have been using for too many yrs. "Fat/thick girls are fun like Mopeds, it's all fun 'til your friends see you on them" Freddy said many times over the yrs that people/women especially come in all shapes and sizes and ALL are beautiful! Basicly - don't judge a book
