EXCLUSIVE: We will woke you! Classic Queen song Fat Bottomed Girls is mysteriously dropped from the group’s new Greatest Hits collection

It’s one of Queen’s most beloved songs, but Fat Bottomed Girls has been mysteriously dropped from the group’s new greatest hits collection.

The 1978 song, written by guitarist Brian May, has been appreciated by generations of fans as a humorous and hard-rocking tribute to a young man’s appreciation for fuller ladies.

But 45 years later, it turns out that lyrics like “left alone with fat Fanny, she was such a naughty nanny, big woman, you made a bad boy out of me” and “big bottomed girls, you make the rockin’ world go round” have been touched by the wake-cancell culture.

It was such a popular hit for Queen that it appeared fourth on the band’s original 1981 greatest hits album, along with Bohemian Rhapsody, Don’t Stop Me Now and We Will Rock You.

But last week it was nowhere to be seen when Universal Records announced they would release a version of the record on Yoto, the new audio platform aimed at young people.

The move has baffled music industry insiders, with bosses insisting Fat Bottomed Girls was wrongly singled out for being “just a little fun.”

One told The Mail on Sunday: ‘It’s the talk of the music industry, no one can understand why such a good-natured, fun song couldn’t be acceptable in today’s society.

‘It has woken up crazy. Why not value people of all shapes and sizes as society says we should, instead of getting rid of them.

It’s outrageous.’ Fat Bottomed Girls has long sparked debate over the appropriateness of the lyrics and promotional materials accompanying the release.

The original cover for the song, taken from Queen’s album Jazz, featured a scantily clad woman on a bicycle, but was modified after some stores refused to stock it.

The new version was the same image with underpants pulled over the woman.

May told Mojo magazine in 2008, “I wrote it with Fred in mind, just like you, especially if you have a great singer who likes big-bottomed girls…or guys.”

The recently released Yoto greatest hits album, released in conjunction with Queen’s record label Universal, aims to introduce the band to a younger audience.
