THIS ROCKED MY WORLD!! First Time Reaction to Queen - "Fat Bottomed Girls"

[@draguladirt]

Written by Brian May - when it was released it was a double A-side - with 'Bicycle Race'. The 2 songs reference each other in the lyrics.

[@davidmacfarlane1763]

And he wrote it about Freddies choice in men and women ;)

[@mauk2861]

Most of the heavier ones were written by Sir Dr Brian!

[@estoy1001]

Brian is also in love with his car. Make of that what you will.

[@nickrizzi4927]

One of the greatest 45's ever. I got it filed with my Superfreak/Give it to me Babe :-)

Absolutely nothing wrong with a fat bottomed girl Stacey. Loving your reactions ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@kevinL5425]

“Fat Bottom Girls” and “Bicycle Race” were released together on the same 45 rpm record and reference each other in their lyrics. If this video made you blush, then you should probably stay away from the original video for “Bicycle Race”. :-)

[@mgnzmn9362]

You mean because of THE bicycle race at Wembley?🤭 I have „Jazz“ on LP and there’s a poster of that race as bonus 😇

[@kevinL5425]

@@mgnzmn9362 Apparently that poster was excluded from the U.S. release.

Bicycle Race and Fat Bottom Girls were released as a double A side single on 45rpm record originally.

[@kallsop2]

Agreed as they share a bit of lyrics.

[@goodfella1401]

Queen is timeless. They have a song like this that came out half a century ago, one if not two of the most iconic sports songs with We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions, the most iconic rock/opera song with Bohemian Rhapsody and the greatest live set performed in modern history when they performed for Live Aid.

[@bryandamkaer3646]

A timeless Queen classic.... Freddie is gone too soon.... Such a fantastic entertainer.

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

Yes, quiet, shy, retiring Brian May! I'm an 'old' Queen fan, since 1974, this was a big song when it came out. As well as it being a great kick-ass rock song, I really love two things in particular: The way the bass drops in at the start; Freddie's little extra ad libs: "I tell ya!", "pleeeease!", and "ride 'em, cowboy!" p.s. and that fantastic drum fill

[@lannystanfield7565]

Brian May wrote it. They also promoted a nude bicycle race for this song.

[@largemansteve60]

A couple of video versions I've seen had topless women on bikes, AFAIK...

[@johnedgar7001]

If you like this one, please try "Tie Your Mother Down." Same vibe, same sense of fun, makes me smile!

[@JosephMelia-pg5kt]

crazy little thing called love..see how versatile they are with there music 🎶

[@deepermind4884]

Stacy, I got a good laugh from your accidental double entendres: 6:13 Ahead of the CURVE...! 6:54 The harmonies take the CAKE...!! 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, they took that cake all across the airwaves & into stadiums!!! My suggestion for you is my fave Queen song, '39, a gorgeous song written by Brian, it's on the "Night at the Opera" album. 😃👍🏻

[@phillipwalker6517]

Your giggles were exactly the right reaction to these fun lyrics.

[@maverick4you]

Try Bicycle Race next. It goes perfect with this song and was side B on record

[@t0dd000]

When they played this on the radio they almost always played "Bicycle Race" immediately following. And i really think that's how they should be reacted to.

[@Zigmond303]

Agree! I was a radio DJ in the 80s and 90s and ALWAYS played those 2 songs together. Some songs just shouldn’t be separated. There’s some Beatles songs, Pink Floyd, and my favorite example, Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid. Reacting to pairs of songs like that (along with understanding that’s the way they used to get played on the radio) would be A++!

[@dedcowbowee]

Of course the genius Brian wrote it, he's an astrophysicists so he know what he's talking about!

[@mooniejohnson]

"Late main-sequence stars make the universe go 'round" doesn't have the same snap. 😉

[@bennyvanderven]

I love this woman, everything she said was spot on! - and ain't it cool that brian may wrote songs like fat bottomed girls and! tie your mother down? I mean, he's a gentle-man and a scientist no less. and he's still able to wrote such cool rock ('n roll) tunes man. and freddie's singin' is the cherry on top.

[@atorthefightingeagle9813]

He's a bloke. No matter how polite and erudite we appear to be we all feel the same basic urges that need to be "acted" upon. I'm sure Jack The Ripper was a perfect gentleman when he wasn't out-a-ripping.

One of my favourite less known early Queen songs is “Dragon Attack”. A few years ago someone created a mashup of that song with Dragon scenes from Game of Thrones, which was great!

[@christophersims3319]

Queen was so good they could just write the best southern rock song better than any southern rock band ever could. Same for disco, and early metal, stone cold crazy is as heavy as any Sabbath. They were special

[@sugoruyo]

Queen were one of those one in a billion occasions of cosmic forces coming together for a brief moment in time to form something that will never be repeated or surpassed.

[@markgettemeyer1145]

Stone Cold Crazy is a very good rock song from their catalog. It’s an older piece, but man - if you need a boost in your day, that one will do it for sure ✌🏻

[@kayserchishti7303]

thanks Stacey, your giggling was infectious, genuine, ahead of the curve definitely, Its message was as subliminal as Elvis Presley landing upside down in a UFO at the superbowl half time show Can we infer Brian (Professor PhD) is a real badass or should we as you nobly stated see it as a celebration of body form, if so then i can say my body is a temple too, Queen with David Bowie next please love

[@hackman8909]

Keep going . I have many queen suggestions, but as long as you keep going..keep going. I love your open mind.

[@MikeSmith-ry8hi]

This song live is even better! Check out Milton Keynes from 1982. The thing about Queen is that their live performances are all unique. They didn't just go out on stage and regurgitate the exact same thing everyone's already heard. It had to be unique... they owed that to their fans.

[@kellycrook543]

YES!!!! THE LIVE VERSION IS GREAT!!!

This is the companion track to "Bicycle Race". As I recall that was the B side for this single. And yes, it's meant to be as suggestive as you probably think it is. If anyone would know what makes the world go 'round, it would be Brian May and his PhD in astrophysics!

My favorite quote of his, "Astrophysics are much more interesting if you're not an astrophysicist."

Hi Stacey - you must listen and watch White Queen live at Hammersmith back in 1975. Recorded on Christmas Eve!! You will definitely get emotional with the performance from the band and the vocals from the greatest frontman that ever lived.

Brian May, the smartest man in music. In his spare time from playing guitar and songwriting for Queen, he's an Astrophysicist.

Hello there! I just discovered you today, and let me just say I love your channel and all these queen reactions! :3 I would like to recommend the Medley from Queen’s Live At The Rainbow Concert, it consists the songs In Lap Of The Gods, Killer Queen, March Of The Black Queen, and Bring Back That Leroy Brown.

[@SaverioP]

I came across your channel recently, and I enjoy your reactions. I see you've done several Queen tunes, and I'd like to suggest a couple of others. One is called "Dragon Attack" (raw rocker with amazing guitar work by Brian), and the other one is called "One Year of Love." That one is a love song with incredible vocals by Freddie and the only Queen song with a sax solo, afaik. Both are great tunes, and both are worthy of a reaction.

[@sambirch6784]

Before Queen started playing big stadiums their songs were a bit more diverse and varied, perhaps because they thought the quieter and more esoteric songs wouldn't work on the big stage. Fat Bottom Girls is a song where Queen have got their tongues firmly in their cheeks, I think to some degree they were seeing how much they could get away with.

[@Gavrev]

You thought it was Freddie that wrote it, didn't you? 😅😉 A fun song on a great album! JAZZ appeared out of nowhere to me when I got it. I was a member of the fan club back in the day but I'd heard nothing at the time.. I spotted this album (which looked like a Queen album but I'd never heard of it) when we were out shopping, back in the days when vinyl was sold in the supermarkets.. I asked my Dad if he could get it me, which bless him he did. When we got home the new quarterly Queen fan club magazine was waiting for me in the post.. the front cover of the magazine was the new album JAZZ. Between this and "Bicycle Race" (that single was a double A side, with this song) QUEEN tended to get a pass on anything anyway, but no one took any real offence to it. I think many were probably surprised though hehehe. With that said the biggest controversy was the video shoot for "Bicycle Race", but that's a story for another day.
