One of the songs by legendary British group Queen has mysteriously disappeared from a reissue of the band’s greatest hits compilation, the Chron reports.
Released in 1978, the song “Fat Bottomed Girls” ended up on the 1981 Greatest Hits compilation. 42 years later, Universal Records announced that a new version of this compilation would be available on the Yoto audio platform.
However, the latter is aimed primarily at young people and that could explain why the song, written by guitarist Brian May, would have disappeared from the compilation.

This huge Queen success was intended as a tribute to young men who appreciate women with rounder shapes.
However, some of the song’s lyrics have been criticized by some netizens, including these two excerpts:
“Left alone with big fat Fanny, she was such a cheeky nanny. Big woman, you made a bad boy out of me.”
(Left alone with fat Fanny, she was a perverted guardian. Fat lady, you made me a bad boy.)
“Big booty girls, you make the rocking world go round”
(Women with big butts, you’re setting the earth in the right direction).
The disappearance of “Fat Bottomed Girl” has been denounced by members of the music industry, who have lashed out at “cancel culture” and the “woke” movement.
“It’s the hottest topic in the industry right now. “No one understands why a song this well-meaning and funny can’t be acceptable today,” one of them mentions.
“The Wake movement has gone insane. Instead of getting rid of people of all shapes and sizes, why don’t we accept them the way society wants them to be?” demands another member of the music community.
