Fat Bottomed Girls

"Fat Bottomed Girls" by Queen is originally written in the key of E-flat major. Composed by the band's guitarist Brian May, the song was released in 1978 on Queen's album "Jazz." Freddie Mercury's powerful vocals bring the song to life, while May's guitar work provides a gritty, energetic backdrop. The lyrics celebrate fuller-figured women, which was a bold and unconventional topic at the time. An interesting piece of trivia is that the single was released as a double A-side with "Bicycle Race." The melody combines rock and roll influences with a catchy, anthemic quality, making it a memorable addition to Queen's diverse catalog.
