We will woke you! Classic Queen song Fat Bottomed Girls is mysteriously dropped

a reply to: Kurokage

I not sure it's about fat bottomed girls and it's more about big fat fanny.

Quick, lets ban Maggie May then as well.

I'm not that arsed really.....its just another sad little example of the idiocy that is taking over the world.
Seems like we've forgot about simple things like parents deciding what's right or wrong for their own children.

We'll agree to differ on this one.

We actually agree from a certain point of view.
I actually think it's a bit daft that they've removed it but I personally think its about body shaming young girls but also the reference to "Big Fat Fanny" and it's slang meaning.
The device that people are complaing about does come with blank cards that allow you to create your own playlist from your own music.

I guess this applies to the UK only? Or everywhere?

I dunno but I'd think it would be a big hit in the US, home of "Lizzo and the Bigggg Girlzzz" song and dance troup.

a reply to: Kurokage

Interesting they have horrible histories on there so probably lots of gruesome stuff the romans did and others
so id imagine that they have some stuff on there which speaks about difficult subjects

I clearly missed the part this was on yoto

I thought they were talking in general about about rerelease of the album and just removed fat bottomed girls

damn Yoto is expensive too

Don't know if anyone has posted this, the lyrics to Fat Bottomed Girls.

I just wanted to see if I could offend someone.



Oh you gonna take me home tonight
Oh down beside that red fire light
Oh you gonna let it all hang out
Fat-bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew love before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Hey big woman, you made a bad boy out of me
I've been singing with my band
Across the water, across the land
I've seen every blue eyed floozy on the way
But their beauty and their style
Went kind of smooth after a while
Take me to them naughty ladies every time
Oh, won't you take me home tonight
Oh, down beside your red fire light
Oh, and you give it all you got
Fat-bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
Fat-bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
Now I got mortgages and homes
I got stiffness in the bones
Ain't no beauty queens in this locality
But I still get my pleasure
Still got my greatest treasure
Hey big woman you gonna make a big man out of me
Oh, you gonna take me home tonight
Oh, down beside that red fire light
Oh, you gonna let it all hang out
Fat-bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
Fat-bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
Get on your bikes and ride

Apologies.

The only video evidence available is one of me doing karaoke to Brittany Spears song, "Oops I Did It Again".

That was one of the first songs that came to my mind.

In this case it's a business deciding what they want to sell to their clients or not.

I prefer Travis' version.

a reply to: ArMaP

I remember in highschool we played this version in our band , but it was much heavier

ahh good times


thing is though when I was wee I listened to all of my mum and dads records, punk , funk, soul , rock , blues , disco etc
and I never really paid attention to the lyrics it was more about the music, the energy and the groove
it wasn't until I was about 10 or 11 that I really started paying attention to the lyrics of songs
is there a specific age that kids some how switch from enjoying the music to finding a deeper meaning to music through lyrics i think its definitely when you start puberty

I doubt there is a specific age, but maybe a specific development stage.

a reply to: DBCowboy
Meh
I see your queen and raise you ac/dc

a reply to: ArMaP

yeh definitely

when I was 12 I started listening to a lot of hip-hop and I remember asking my mum to buy me lots of parental advisory albums
I think the first gangster rap album I bought was snoop dogg - doggystyle
round about the same time my dad bought me my first guitar and I was listening to a lot of heavy metal and rock
bands like sepultura , metallica , megadeath , black sabbath, AC/DC and punk bands like The Dead Kennedys, stiff little fingers, the damned, misfits , exploited etc.
and I really started paying attention to what the lyrics were saying and then I paid attention to what was going on in the world.

I also started listening to a lot of what you call conscious hiphop like groups that weren't just rapping about guns , drugs money and women

I also got right into David Bowie, bob dylan, T rex and the Who
