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 :-)

[@wham-shirt-trimmer]

[@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.

[@JosephMelia-pg5kt]

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

[@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

[@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!

My late father's favorite song, I dated a full figure blonde back in the day who looked like early Pamela Anderson. This song brings back memories and tears.

[@codymoe4986]

More like Louie Anderson, I'm guessing...

[@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.

[@patrickkujawa9083]

queen ... was the first band to release a cassette with dolby sound... back in the 70s... I had a dolby stereo in my car...incredible

[@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.

[@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. 😃👍🏻

[@firedoc5]

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

[@stuBdoc]

Another smart guy in music is Skunk Baxter, guitarist for Steely Dan, Doobie Bros and others, who advises the Pentagon on missile technology.

[@firedoc5]

@@stuBdoc Jeff is one of my very-favorite musicians.

[@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!!!

[@Flesharrower]

"Get on your bikes and ride!"

[@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.

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!

[@chuckhouse5179]

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

[@Mercurial_Phantom]

More Queen/Freddie please! Here are some recommendations: Studio recordings: How can I go on One year of love Love me like there's no tomorrow Too much love will kill you A Winter's tale The great pretender Time waits for no one Let me in your heart again In my defence Live performances: You take my breathe away - Hyde park 1976 Father to son - Rainbow 1974 White Queen (as it began) - Hammersmith 1975 Hammer to fall - Wembley 1986 July 12 & Budapest 1986 Who wants to live forever - Wembley 1986 July 11 Play the game - Milton keynes 1982 Save me - Montreal 1981 Somebody to love - Milton Keynes 1982 It's a hard life - Rio 1985 January

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 ✌🏻

[@mack1305]

"Old Fashion Lover Boy" is one of my favorite under played classic.

[@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

[@kevinL5425]

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!

[@keithpederson9912]

I did not see it in the other comments. This was on their "Jazz" album. It also had a 3 page poster in the album, with ALL topless women getting ready to ride their bicycles. Wish i still had that album.

[@philhallbrook7008]

Totally naked mate, tho 'tastefully' posed. The Amerikkkan version of the album came with a form so that you could send off for the full poster...

Hey, Stacy. Another Queen song that you should definitely do a reaction to is the song "One Vision"

[@T.R.75]

[@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.

[@kayserchishti7303]

"Ok Roger" best intuitive comment on youtube this year. it had me falling out my chair. if you think it was ahead of its time try listening to THE 1970'S HIT "The Kinks Lola"

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.

Oh and don't be shocked about Brian writing this. Brian writes the deepest songs, and the some of the naughtinest. He wrote one called Tie your mother down, its raunch has hell.
