This song was actually written by Brian May, the astrophysicist guitarist.....I can just imagine the reaction when he proposed this song idea to the rest of the band!......they probably laughed hard for a while, then recorded it and nailed it like no one else can!
I would really really like to see their reaction to Queen's "Dragon Attack" off of "The Game" album… It is one of the earliest mash ups of a rock song with a rap style stripped down approach and they jam their asses off.
"I wish it had gone on a little longer" It does, you listened to a greatest hits version. The album version is longer and doesn't fade out. Always, always listen to the album version
Yeah, didn't know this version was so short, always having the albums and never playing the greatest hits ones. Lot more guitar work at the end of this one. This is one I think they could have done the official video for, as it fits the song well, and is full length.
So these guys do any "fresh" reactions anymore? Seems like any I've seen posted for a LONG time are always older reactions from patreon released later.
As a man of "the lighter persuasion" born in the '70s, I can recall there's always been the conversation revolving around "Are you a breast man, a leg man, or a butt man?" So even back then, fat bottomed girls have always had fans. Some of us like all 3.
I went through my teen years in the 70s, I'm English maybe it was different in the states but I can say because I had large breasts and had so much attention then women started having boob jobs men started being leg men here
It’s a cheeky take. In traditional British culture, there was the stereotype of a slightly naughty woman who was voluptuous - sexy, warm, welcoming - sometimes a barmaid.
If you haven’t experienced it, their 20 minute set at the 1985 Live Aid is absolute perfection and THE best live musical performance ever! It’s a must experience part of reacting to Queen.
I’m a female of the lighter persuasion and was a teenager in the 70’s. I always had more in the bottom/legs than in the boobs and I was hit on a lot by all persuasions. lol Also in the 70’s, the natural female body was the most desirable. The attraction of enhanced tops became something you only saw in strip clubs and Playboy type magazines. Times did change though.
My son was born in 1988. We used to ride our bicycles in the evenings around the neighborhood. He was still on training wheels. One day he comes out with: Get on your bike and riiiide, Mama! lol Wait...what?! He was raised appreciating good music.
I would have appreciated that much more than my three year old son yelling out “Hot legs are you “p*ssy whipped” from his grocery cart seat in the middle of the store. Now, that was awkward, lol That would have been around 1978, if I recall correctly.
This song with queen performing it Live at Milton Keynes 1982 is great. It will blow you away!! Queen performing live cannot be beat. They're perfection!!!
This is such a FUN song! Love it!! And I loved it even more when I saw them perform it LIVE on stage! What a hoot. The arena rocked out that night! You would think Freddie wrote this song - but NO it was Brian May - you know him - that studious guitar playing perfectionist composer who wrote this gem. Brian said that he wrote it for Freddie who Brian knew liked a little "more" on his companions. As a 78 year old long time Queen fan, thanks for sharing this one - it brought back all those fun memories of hearing and especially seeing this band who could compose and perform every type of music imaginable. LEGENDS!!
@@samlawrence4670 Parsis are Indian Zoroastrians (of which Freddie's family were a part). The original Zoroastrians were from Persia (what is now Iran). Farsi is the old Persian language.
Yeah put that on the list with ***BACK IN BLACK*** and ***HIGHWAY TO HELL*** and ***HELLS BELLS*** there is a reason Beavis and Butthead wore AC/DC and Metallica shirts...THEY ROCK....SO DIVE IN AND CATCH UP! :)
errr that's a song written by Bon that actually spent a night with Rosie, and she just didn't have just a fat bottom. "you could say she's got it all" .
This is my favorite Queen song. It's Interesting to note, in Britain, the word "fanny" is a euphemism for lady-parts, rather than the rear end. Makes, "Big, fat Fanny" even more nudge, nudge, wink wink.
Thanks, Lost! Such a fun song... lol.... (wish you saw live video - this was actually written by guitarist Brian May) appreciate your reactions... and look forward to more Queen... (p.s. you know the bass line from Under Pressure b/c Vanilla Van Winkle ripped it off for "Ice Ice Baby" - got sued & LOST.. lol).. also lyrics are "take the two-hand LARDY ladies every time"
The inspiration for this song was from an all-female nude bicycle race sponsored by the band. The 45 RPM record was a double A side with "Bicycle Race". Radio stations would play both songs back-to-back. The album "Jazz' had a poster with a picture from the nude bicycle race of naked women on bikes.
Brian May wrote fat bottmed girls. When Freddy sang "get on your bikes and ride" he was referencing a song he wrote called "bicycle race" which i believe came after F.B.G. on the record.
My whole family loves this song - we’ll blast Queen on long car trips and this one always makes us smile. As far as the time period, all models were like Twiggy - white, blonde and anorexic thin. To Ryan’s comment, I’m sure heavier women loved this song then (and still do).
Listen to White Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon 1975. Interplay between piano and guitar is otherworldly with the drums and bass keeping them grounded. A real hidden gem.
I absolutely love this song and I’m as narrow bottomed as it gets. Just because I didn’t get it doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate it. Sending love and gratitude. 💕
Queen is the Greatest Band of all time and Freddie can sing any music as if he wrote it. This song was created by Brian. I hope you can feature under pressure in their concert at Wembley and also Live Aid so you can witness how amazing the band Queen. There will never be another Freddie. Nothing compares.
I was just sliding into my mid teens when this song hit the radio and it's always been one of my favorites from Queen. Back then we called them 'corn fed babes' instead of fat bottom girlsbut I was and still am a fan'''
Brian May wrote it, and he's referring to the groupies who were always there to comfort the performers no matter what- who tended to be a little overweight in the 1970s
shout out to Roger, he was ripping the kit on them drums, great overall performance, liked the harmony for sure, the drums did it for me, well Freddy is always good, you know. I enjoy watching you two react, more than eating when I'm hungry. I just set back an laugh my ass off when you two get going, ha, You guys just always get it, in my opinion, just saying
I always thought he was saying “take me to them LARDY ladies every time!” But I just confirmed what you said here… it is DIRTY ladies. I think lardy ladies is actually a really good fit.
Actually Brain May , the lead guitarist of the band wrote the song and Freddy sang it to perfection 😂 it’s one of my favorites it’s the sequel to Bicycle Race lol 😂 your guys reaction is awesome
Consider too the Brittishness. This song is a colloquial escapade of an anthem, a clarain call for unappreciated aesthetically ample posteriors. An absolute classic. Playlist. All time.
This is certainly one of Queen's rockers! Remember they weren't Americans. On the cover sleeve showing in your video, that was the first US release. She had nothing on in other countries. So the US drew on a bikini bottom (poorly). Then they needed to go further and there is a 3rd shot with the bottoms and a bikini top string added. We Americans think we are so cool, but we are big snobs in some areas.
You made the right choice. Unfortunately this is a shorter version with more killer instrumental before they got into the singing section that is not in this version.
@@ther3aper561 No, not quite true. The final vocal where Freddie hits the high note was done in one take after a shot of vodka. The song's vocal as a whole wasn't done in one take.
Funny, I always assumed he was referring to “ladies of the evening”, when he sings, “…down beside that red fire light” meaning the red light district where you’d find working girls. Great tune, regardless, and the album poster is a classic!
Fun fact: the original "video" of this song has a bunch of naked ladies riding around on bikes. One of them is on the cover there, and someone was upset that she was naked, so they painted that fake red bikini bottom on her.
I love the live version of this with Freddie Mercury pole dancing live Milton Keynes the bowl great sense of humour Freddie Mercury rest in peace legend❤
Marc Martel did the leading singing (Mercury) during the Queen extravaganza cover band tour organized and produced by Brian May in the 20-teens. THIS DUDE SOUNDS JUST LIKE MERCURY AND SLIGHTLY LOOKS LIKE HIM.
Can you imagine how delighted us fat bottomed girls felt when this was released? We danced to this like our lives depended on it ❤
Thank you for doing your part in making this rockin’ world go round!
My hiney never moved so well, as to the glory of this anthem❤❤❤
Bless your little hearts! ^^
@@Johnnythefirst ...and their big, beautiful bottoms!
For some, their life did depend on it 😂
This song was actually written by Brian May, the astrophysicist guitarist.....I can just imagine the reaction when he proposed this song idea to the rest of the band!......they probably laughed hard for a while, then recorded it and nailed it like no one else can!
Brian also wrote 'We Will Rock You'
I am trying to picture Brain May actually singing it 😂😂.
He was talking facts then and now.
I would really really like to see their reaction to Queen's "Dragon Attack" off of "The Game" album… It is one of the earliest mash ups of a rock song with a rap style stripped down approach and they jam their asses off.
Sir Brian May
Especially their 🐔sucking frontman!
Love this song. I’m surprised no one mentioned the drums. They are awesome in this song!
the drum roll before the last chorus is pure gold
It's probably the highlight moment of the song, the extended version is a thousand times better than this radio edit
Roger’s drumming is always epic.
@@RSfandudemy favourite drum roll in music
The drums went nuts and the bass slides were NASTY!
"I wish it had gone on a little longer"
It does, you listened to a greatest hits version. The album version is longer and doesn't fade out. Always, always listen to the album version
Yeah, didn't know this version was so short, always having the albums and never playing the greatest hits ones. Lot more guitar work at the end of this one.

@@MikePhillips-pl6ov... Videos always feature the shorter versions..
@@brenthenderson3983On lame channels that don't listen to the audience
This song was written by the soft-spoken, hard-rocking Rockstar-Astrophysicist Dr. Sir Brian Harold May, Queen’s Guitar God.
I mean he would know about the gravitational pull lol.
Guitar God, indeed.
it's funny that you can put a picture of brian may next to isaac newton and see a loose resemblance
Roger’s drums are epic! Give him some love.
So these guys do any "fresh" reactions anymore? Seems like any I've seen posted for a LONG time are always older reactions from patreon released later.
Roger also sings (often and very well)
@@mariaassante620 yes he does! He could be (and was with his own band) the lead vocalist in any band that didn’t have Freddie Mercury.

They toured America and took a liking to some southern rock so this is their attempt at a southern rock song.
They nailed it
Good lord. I never really clocked that before, but now that you say that, I can't unhear Lynyrd Skynyrd or som'n
Queen's catalogue is so varied. I think just about anybody can find something to like in there somewhere. Some of us just eat all of it up.
It’s a cheeky take. In traditional British culture, there was the stereotype of a slightly naughty woman who was voluptuous - sexy, warm, welcoming - sometimes a barmaid.
In the us theres a similar stereotype, but broke rockers want a girl who has some food in the fridge
See the Carry On! movies.
Plenty of natural chub to go around. And very popular.
Haha! A cheeky take!!!😂
If you haven’t experienced it, their 20 minute set at the 1985 Live Aid is absolute perfection and THE best live musical performance ever! It’s a must experience part of reacting to Queen.
They can never believe that crowd and those performances.
Hard agree
It's not even queens best performance it's just a massive crowd
I don't agree with the last part of that first sentence, but it is phenomenal. Radio Gaga, especially
Disagree. Live Aid was a completely normal Queen performance, except that they cut songs short to fit them in.
According to the rest of the band, Freddie did not discriminate. He liked his groupies male, female, big and thin.
Hole is hole
😂
Some of the stories are insane.
His birthday at The Ritz...
That’s what too much partying does to ya 😂
I love my big boys!!!!
Brian wrote this song for Freddie because he like the more curvy ones.
Freddie loved the bottoms.
Freddy liked the male curvy ones 😂
@@victoriamiller4873 Freddie was a freak, he fucked everything that moved, but yeah he tended more to favour the dudes
Probably Also Wrote It As A Joke, Cause Its Pretty Funny
@@victoriamiller4873 he was bisexual.
Don’t be fooled, gents. Guitarist Brian May wrote this one.
I’m a female of the lighter persuasion and was a teenager in the 70’s. I always had more in the bottom/legs than in the boobs and I was hit on a lot by all persuasions. lol Also in the 70’s, the natural female body was the most desirable. The attraction of enhanced tops became something you only saw in strip clubs and Playboy type magazines. Times did change though.
Lynda Carter is/was the most natural, beautiful woman I've ever seen.
This song is definitely a true classic-rock banger.
This song in the car, cranked to 10, will simply rock out. Anyone who hears this song smiles and will say hell yea. Keep up the great work buddy 👍
late 80s, sitting in a pizza hut enjoying the buffet with this song and wang dang sweet poontang on the jukebox.. i miss those days.
You can never go wrong with Queen and Freddie ❤️
My son was born in 1988. We used to ride our bicycles in the evenings around the neighborhood. He was still on training wheels. One day he comes out with: Get on your bike and riiiide, Mama! lol Wait...what?! He was raised appreciating good music.

That would have been around 1978, if I recall correctly.
The song leads into Bicycle Race.
Bicycle! Bicycle!!!! I want to ride ...
One of those songs you always sing together because the are so perfectly weaved on the album. The line get on your bicycles and ride was no accident.
It leads into it on the Greatest Hits album, but 'Jealousy' comes between them on the 'Jazz' album.
Sometimes the two songs would lead into each other on the radio, but "Jealousy" is between them on the album...
Which sucks
Death on Two Legs is a must listen too.
8:52 Brian May's guitar work is REALLY good, line, can't be replicated kinda good. Mad vibes.
This song with queen performing it Live at Milton Keynes 1982 is great.

It was written by Brian for Freddie due to his preferences and Freddie was Farsi and grew up in Zanzibar an island off of east Africa.
Parsi.
@@joegillam1497 strictly speaking I should have called him Shirazi, Parsi and Farsi are the same thing a dialect of the Persian language.
@@samlawrence4670 Parsis are Indian Zoroastrians (of which Freddie's family were a part). The original Zoroastrians were from Persia (what is now Iran). Farsi is the old Persian language.
One of my fave queen songs. It’s in my phone and I love when it comes on while I’m driving lol. I just love the sound.
Never seen your channel before. Dude on the left, your laugh and smile after that intro was sincere and infectious. Loved it.
As Kid Rock said, "I don't like small cars or real big women, but somehow I always find myself in em"
We have a gravitational force.
the same reason AC/DC wrote Whole lotta Rosie
Yeah put that on the list with ***BACK IN BLACK*** and ***HIGHWAY TO HELL*** and ***HELLS BELLS*** there is a reason Beavis and Butthead wore AC/DC and Metallica shirts...THEY ROCK....SO DIVE IN AND CATCH UP! :)
errr that's a song written by Bon that actually spent a night with Rosie, and she just didn't have just a fat bottom. "you could say she's got it all" .
One of my favorite Queen songs. Everyone I know rocks out to it whenever it comes on. Thanks for the great reaction!
Top Tier Queen song. Always love it when it comes on.
Queen set the bar high, back in the day. These guys were just special, RIP Freddie
One of the best rock songs ever written. It's pure perfection.

I live in the south in the United States and we used fanny for the rear end also.
@@MAGIKMARTIAN9526 You misunderstood. In Britain "fanny" is lady parts, as in the vag.
@MAGIKMARTIAN9526 No, the British call the va jay jay a "fanny" .
Say n'more!
Yup, that’s why fanny pack sounds weird to a Brit. 😳
Thanks, Lost! Such a fun song... lol.... (wish you saw live video - this was actually written by guitarist Brian May) appreciate your reactions... and look forward to more Queen...

This is my wife's favorite song. She wants it played at her funeral.
This song is meant to go together with Bicycle Race.
it cues up in my head anyway ;)
@@wulfgold I want to ride my bicycle....
Why does it say the video came out an hour ago but your comment is from a Month ago?
Yep. Not the same alone.
Bicycle Race is one of the worst songs in rock history.

Radio stations would play both songs back-to-back. The album "Jazz' had a poster with a picture from the nude bicycle race of naked women on bikes.

Brian May wrote fat bottmed girls. When Freddy sang "get on your bikes and ride" he was referencing a song he wrote called "bicycle race" which i believe came after F.B.G. on the record.
Death on two legs has some of Brian Mays greatest guitar work and Roger Taylors drumming and vocal harmony
Love how the bass drops into the 2nd verse. Killer.
Also super fat bottomed
My whole family loves this song - we’ll blast Queen on long car trips and this one always makes us smile. As far as the time period, all models were like Twiggy - white, blonde and anorexic thin. To Ryan’s comment, I’m sure heavier women loved this song then (and still do).

This is one of my absolute fav Queen songs right behind Innuendo... You all should give Innuendo a listen!
Good album..I love "Headlong" ,Its a rocker
I still maintain that Innuendo is their true magnum opus
My best friend (rest her soul) played this song on the juke box every single time we were out. It was also her ringtone. She had no ass.
Aww, she passed 😢
I'm betting those who voted on the poll wanted you to review the FULL version of the song.
I absolutely love this song and I’m as narrow bottomed as it gets. Just because I didn’t get it doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate it. Sending love and gratitude. 💕
Great reaction. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
MY favorite Queen song of all time! I DO love all of their however.😎🇬🇧
Amazing how Sir-Mix-A-Lot jacked this one and most hip hop people never knew it. This is the original folks !!!! The original " Baby Got Back "
My absolutely favorite Queen song!
Fat Bottom Girls was side A of the 45 record; Bicycle was side B. That cover was something else!
Queen is the Greatest Band of all time and Freddie can sing any music as if he wrote it. This song was created by Brian. I hope you can feature under pressure in their concert at Wembley and also Live Aid so you can witness how amazing the band Queen. There will never be another Freddie. Nothing compares.
2:43 This was written at the same time as Bicycle and is considered to be the follow on song ,both written after they had watched the tour de france
'I Want It All" is another fantastic song by Queen
You are correct that the beauty standard was super skinny and this song made us chicks with some junk in the trunk feel the love!
This is actually a Brian May song, the guitarist. IMO, this is where Queen started to feel a little bit of AC/DC's influence.
04
whole lotta rosie!
As a fan of both bands, and these were the first two bands I saw live, I'll give you that one!
Big girls, skinny girls, doesn't matter to me. All girls need love.
Queen - Keep Yourself Alive next!
Ohhhh...great song!!!!
My favorite Queen tune--with a couple of others in close running.
Great song! The original has a better ending that doesn't just fade out.
Written by the guitarist . Sir Brian May. PHD in

Agreed. The cuts here threw me off.
This abbreviated version makes me sad
This was my on-field pitching warm up song freshman year of college. Helped me out in more ways than on the field.
Guaranteed playlist!
I always thought he was saying “take me to them LARDY ladies every time!” But I just confirmed what you said here… it is DIRTY ladies. I think lardy ladies is actually a really good fit.
This was a shocker in 78!
You guys are cool. Another great analysis. And you are correct about the 70's and before, it was all about the the sweater puppies.
My favorite Queen song. The original baby got back song.
Bicycle Races, Killer Queen, and Another One Bites The Dust, are great songs.
Queen were always ahead of their time and wrote song with so much meaning even when they are funny songs like this
Bless you for reacting to this song!
