3 people i miss right now, Freddie, Carlin, and John Candy. RIP boys. played this song one night in a townie bar during college, place was packed, everybody stopped, started singing. was a great time.
“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”. :-)
@@kevinL5425 If I remember the story right then it was included initially in the UK, then excluded for the same unknown reasons and then you had a little order form included with which you could get it for free.
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.
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
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. 😃👍🏻
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!
Love your channel. You say your not a music expert, but as a musician, I see you have a strong passion for it. Keep making us smile while enjoying vids with you!!
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
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.
Your reaction gives me faith in humanity! Your smile is infectious and your connection is spiritual! I can watch you watch new music as echo into eternity!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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++!
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!
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.
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 ✌🏻
Stacey, I have said this before, and I am so glad you Found Queen and keep Reacting, as FREDDIE was the Best Entetainer/Showman in my Lifetime, and I saw them Live in 1980
Tie Your Mother Down from Montreal 1981 is fabulous ❤ also In The Lap of the Gods from The Rainbow 1974 not the revisited one which is at the end of the concert (same title two completely different songs) great reaction ❤❤
Freddie, Bon and Brian, Steve Perry, Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, Sammy Hagar, Vince Neil and Diamond Dave, Axl and others were THE lead singers and frontmen of my teens and on. So many all-time greats and I'm sure I've forgotten some that others will rank highly, too! Great reaction vid.
I love your reactions especially your Queen ones.I'm glad you enjoyed this one and your beauty and smile are infectious.If you like Queen rockers then One Vision extended version or Princes Of The Universe both from the A Kind Of Magic album should delight you.Yes Brian wrote this and its a banger! Freddie wrote a song that goes with this called Bicycle Race which is great fun too.Thanks again for another wonderful reaction ❤
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.
The drum fill before the final chorus gives me life. Pretty sure it could resuscitate me if I was in cardiac arrest. Also, I have advocated for this song to be our national anthem for years!
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.
Queen could really rock out! It's amazing that all four members wrote big hits. Brian seems to write guitar rockers, John deacons songs were bass driven and Freddie had the crazy over the top songs. I never figured out Roger's style, but he had some great songs too
My favorite t-shirt at my favorite summer destination in Boothbay Harbor in Maine had images of seagulls on the front with these words: Fat bottom gulls you make the flocking world go round! 😅 And watching you react to this has much the same effect on me as the song did to you.
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.
Stacey, honey...you make my rock and roll world go round :) Freddie's last album with Queen Innuendo will make you cry especially if you know it was journeys end for Freddie..
Thank you awesome rection! 1970's Queen is like nothing before and we will never see this kind of band again RIP Fred You should def check out Roger's 'I'm in love with my car' on lead vocal - you will love that
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.
I remember , late 70's riding my chopper bike home and stopping at the record shop to buy this double A side. A lot of the music I listened to back then has lost its flair but this is still fresh today. Chris
I saw Queen last year (with Adam Lambert). Spur of the moment decision that day. They did a back-to-back gig in Dallas, and I heard they were playing again the 2nd night on the radio. I've wanted to see Brian May forever, so got a friend and found last minute tickets. During this song, the full Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders came out on stage. Super fun that Queen is so "in-tune" to their audience/city to make something like that happen. Super fun concert. Brian and Roger were on-point as expected. And Adam won over the crowd right away...Impossible to replace Freddie, but no problem having Adam fill the position.
Stacey has the most dear facial expressions! The verbal content is brilliant, but if I were deaf, would still greatly enjoy these reactions! Great stuff. Thnx!
Brian wrote it FOR Freddie. He liked big bottoms, men and women. It was tongue in cheek, no pun intended ... wait, okay, maybe intended. He sings "Get on your bikes and ride" because it's like a companion song for "Bicycle Race". It was Freddie's contribution . You'll LOVE the harmonies in that song as they are a matched set.
As a young boy back in the early 80s in addition to this being a great song of the album Jazz, we also got a giggle as part of the promotion was a inner album poster of many naked women starting a bicycle race to promote the song...Bicycle Race.
I was a teenager in the sixties, so much great music through to the eighties. This was one of them. I like the line "such a naughty nanny". Corrupted by the help...noice. A very good and fun tune.✌
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
With this song, Brian builds on the If You Wanna Be Happy vibe that Jimmy Soul started in 1962. "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife. So for my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you." Hilarity ensues throughout the song for the lyrical genius. If you haven't heard that one before Stacey, give it a listen. Not even for your channel necessarily, but for your personal enjoyment. You'll be giggling to that tune as well!
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. It’s a really iconic medley, and my personal fav!🥰
next queen pls "i want it all" amazingly charged and energizing, it will completely recharge you, perfect to play before exercise to get the blood flowing and you won't even need a warm-up :DD
You would probably like their song, "Bicycle Race". They reference Fat Bottom in it. It's the only time I know of where a band references one of their songs inside another song.
Fun reaction. Queen were simply fearless in terms of artistic versatility. There wasn't any style that they couldn't pull off effectively and put their unique stamp on it.
Fun Fact: I agree with literally everything said this song, so much so I've even misheard lyrics that make more sense than the original... Case in point... 2:20 the original lyric is... "Take me to them dirty ladies every time" but ever since I was like 12 and started paying attention to the ladies and by happenstance (probably Beastie Boys) lyrics in songs.... So essentially my entire adolescences and adulthood I thought the lyric was... "Take me two hand lovin' ladies every time" as in one hand isn't enough to hold on.... 😎
Stacey you should give "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" and " Tie Your Mother Down" a listen for yet another example of never knowing what to expect from this great band!
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.
This and the co-track "Bicycle Race" are Queen at their playful brit-rock best. I'll second another poster that if you like this ahead-of-the-curve playful kind of song, then do put "Lola" by The Kinks on your to-do list. Another fun song with roaring harmonies is Slade's "Run Runaway," the blue-collar scots-rock band that influenced a lot of metal bands that followed.
This came out in 1978. In Summertime 1979 I was 10. My Cousin, who was the same age as me? Brought over a cassette of Queen. And she whispered to me. Don't tell anybody. She was looking around. I think she was worried Grandma would find out that she had a rock and roll casette. If. Grandma had seen Freddie Mercury. She probably would have died Right in front of us And if she had the opportunity to read the lyrics to fat bottom girls well,frankly, grandma wouldn't have been Happy😢 She left her cassette with me because she's afraid That her wicked stepmother would find it and she was worse than Grandma. So that was my song the summer of 1979. It was my anthem. I didn't get a boom box for at least another three years.
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. But then he wrote one (for Freddie again) called Save me that is deep, and caring. Brian is the most varied of the composers in many ways. Roger and John you can tell a mile off, but Brian and Freddie? They sneak new things in and you can't tell
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.
And he wrote it about Freddies choice in men and women ;)
Most of the heavier ones were written by Sir Dr Brian!
Brian is also in love with his car. Make of that what you will.
One of the greatest 45's ever. I got it filed with my Superfreak/Give it to me Babe :-)
@@estoy1001is my favorite Queen song

You mean because of THE bicycle race at Wembley?🤭 I have „Jazz“ on LP and there’s a poster of that race as bonus 😇
@@mgnzmn9362 Apparently that poster was excluded from the U.S. release.
@kevinL5425 Only after the fact. I bought the Jazz album in 1979 when I was 12, and I had the poster. Oh yeah, I'm in The United States Of America.

Queen "Bicycle Race" has to be next! 😂
💯 YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I concur!
Has to be
Bicycle Race and Fat Bottom Girls were released as a double A side single on 45rpm record originally.
Agreed as they share a bit of lyrics.
Absolutely nothing wrong with a fat bottomed girl Stacey. Loving your reactions ❤️🏴🇬🇧
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
Your giggles were exactly the right reaction to these fun lyrics.
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!!!

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."
Love reliving these classics with new ears along for the journey.
Loved your reaction Stacey! I've listened to Queen since their Debut. It's just a great fun song!
Gotta say I'm glad that you're continuing down the Queen rabbit hole. Your smile says it all. Queen has music for everyone to enjoy 👑

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...
"Old Fashion Lover Boy" is one of my favorite under played classic.
Of course the genius Brian wrote it, he's an astrophysicists so he know what he's talking about!
"Late main-sequence stars make the universe go 'round" doesn't have the same snap. 😉
I used to drive around with this song playing at 1000 decibels back in the day. Thanks for the memories.

Written by Brian May who also wrote the very suggestive "Tie Your Mother Down". Which is another rocking banger btw.
Their live at Wembley version of Tie your mother is my favorite, though I grew up with the original and that's great too
Kid Rock did this song at Sturgis one year....the crowd lost their freaking minds 😂 after all....they truly do make the rockin world go round!
Brian May, the smartest man in music. In his spare time from playing guitar and songwriting for Queen, he's an Astrophysicist.
Another smart guy in music is Skunk Baxter, guitarist for Steely Dan, Doobie Bros and others, who advises the Pentagon on missile technology.

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. It’s a really iconic medley, and my personal fav!🥰
Queen is absolutely fantastic! Freddy was undeniably amazing. You can’t go wrong with any of their songs
next queen pls "i want it all" amazingly charged and energizing, it will completely recharge you, perfect to play before exercise to get the blood flowing and you won't even need a warm-up :DD
Queen was the real deal. This one is so much fun! Thanks for sharing it. 🙂
Im so glad you are listening to Queen!
You would probably like their song, "Bicycle Race". They reference Fat Bottom in it. It's the only time I know of where a band references one of their songs inside another song.
Another great song written by Brian is "39". Refers to time travel, which fits his interest as an astrophysicist.
It's the Interstellar in a song...or based on when this song was written, maybe Interstellar is 39 made into a movie
a brilliant fun song and when played to a crowd always gets everyone singing
Fun reaction. Queen were simply fearless in terms of artistic versatility. There wasn't any style that they couldn't pull off effectively and put their unique stamp on it.
My wife rocks out to this song, along with our Saint Bernard girl ... something about the simplicity of this song :)
The genius that is Brian May wrote this song and many other of Queens biggest hits.
Once again Stacey , glad your still enjoying Queen , if you get the chance check out the song SAVE ME , think you might like it
I love Queen. Freddy the King and Prince, pauper and artist. Effin great band. I'd be happy to walk down any road with this tune in my ears.
The guitars on this song are heavy, funky and really groovy. It's Dr. Brian May, actually.
This came on the radio when my son was young and he looked at his mom and said and I quote "Mom you make the world go around" I about pissed myself.
Fun Fact: I agree with literally everything said this song, so much so I've even misheard lyrics that make more sense than the original... Case in point... 2:20 the original lyric is... "Take me to them dirty ladies every time" but ever since I was like 12 and started paying attention to the ladies and by happenstance (probably Beastie Boys) lyrics in songs.... So essentially my entire adolescences and adulthood I thought the lyric was... "Take me two hand lovin' ladies every time" as in one hand isn't enough to hold on.... 😎
I know a lot of people are saying "Bicycle Race" should be next. But "Another One Bites The Dust" or "The Show Must Go On" should be next.
This song is a part of a medley called "The Butts Remix" that the group "Home Free" did. I think you'd really enjoy that too ;-)
When it came to this subject, Queen was, as you say, "ahead of the **curve** " indeed! Ass-kickingly great stuff.
Stacey you should give "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" and " Tie Your Mother Down" a listen for yet another example of never knowing what to expect from this great band!
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.
There’s a few songs in the past on the same subject and like Queen it was an honoring not vulgarity😙
This and the co-track "Bicycle Race" are Queen at their playful brit-rock best. I'll second another poster that if you like this ahead-of-the-curve playful kind of song, then do put "Lola" by The Kinks on your to-do list. Another fun song with roaring harmonies is Slade's "Run Runaway," the blue-collar scots-rock band that influenced a lot of metal bands that followed.
This came out in 1978. In Summertime 1979 I was 10. My Cousin, who was the same age as me?
Brought over a cassette of Queen.
And she whispered to me. Don't tell anybody. She was looking around. I think she was worried Grandma would find out that she had a rock and roll casette. If.
Grandma had seen Freddie Mercury.
She probably would have died Right in front of us
And if she had the opportunity to read the lyrics to fat bottom girls well,frankly, grandma wouldn't have been Happy😢 She left her cassette with me because she's afraid That her wicked stepmother would find it and she was worse than Grandma. So that was my song the summer of 1979. It was my anthem. I didn't get a boom box for at least another three years.
At concert, even today with Adam on singing, women get up and dance to this. Women of all ages. Its a well loved song.
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. But then he wrote one (for Freddie again) called Save me that is deep, and caring. Brian is the most varied of the composers in many ways. Roger and John you can tell a mile off, but Brian and Freddie? They sneak new things in and you can't tell
