I like Big butts….

[Qwapisking]

so...maybe “gay bottom girls” will be the future anthem of the new band “QueenS?

[scottiemom]

Silly me. I thought they were singing “black-bottomed girls” which wouldn’t offend anyone, right?!

[gibsonguy]

Ahh those were the days. When the world still had a sense of humor

[gibsonguy]

Well this changes the story thank you.

[philman_36]

No "Fat Bottom Girls? This is the same thing so play it...

Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass

They're speaking of the same things.

No treble...all...ahem...bass.

[philman_36]

I’m just waiting for them to replace We Are The Champions with a song celebrating participation trophies and everyone getting ice cream after the game.

You’re welcome.

In all honesty, I was never a fan of “children’s music.” I hate dumbing down art for children.

The soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas remains a favorite of kids AND adults, chiefly due to the late Vince Guaraldi’s style. It wasn’t dumbed down, and it has withstood the rest of time.

While I hate dumbing down art, I DO think this is a matter of age-appropriateness.

When I was nine, I went to several art galleries in the Philadelphia area. I also had a great teacher who traveled the world and showed us pictures from her travels for “social studies.” Most of it went over my head.

And I laughed and giggled at the nudes. But I also had an adult nearby to tell me, effectively, to knock it off. The laughing and giggling stopped. But it was a lot. So far, I’m not damaged.

All that said, some art and music MAY be PG13ish. Or even R. Personally, I would be OK with a parent deciding that Fat Bottomed Girls is too much for 6-year old Mary. However, I would be down with playing hard rock or even some punk for little kids, as well as free jazz and Zappa (though I’d cut _______ and Beer from the playlist).

However, does decorum require that 6-year old Timmy shouldn't go and see Rodin’s “The Kiss”? At what age IS “The Kiss” appropriate?

These are decisions best left to the parents, because every child AND every family are different. But I’m ok with a FBG-free Queen playlist being streamed to kids.

Lizzo probably threatened to sit on someone if they didn’t remove it.

See, right there. I have a large dupa. Call me a fat arse and I know where you stand. Sing to me about Fat bottom girls making the world go round, just confuses me.
A compliment or an insult? Life isn’t both ways. You sing love, but your words speak lard ass....

sarc. some sarc.

[napscoordinator]

I think people talk too much. Why not release the album and that’s it. If asked say they had so many songs to chose from. Everything has to be broadcast today. Unless it’s a marketing ploy. Kinda strange but I guess any publicity is good.

[BarbM]

Butt NEVER censor the song.

[BarbM]

She’s too fat for me.

Great song. Play that at a Trump rally and watch everybody meltdown.

[Sicon]

It is a great song. Awesome, driving rhythm and bass lines. And of course, no one could even hope to sing it like Freddie Mercury.

[gibsonguy]

Good thoughts and it’s a serious topic that deserves careful thought and responsibility.

[SunkenCiv]

It's the only Queen tune that I ever want to hear again.
