Queen's latest "Greatest Hits" album has just been released on Yoto, the kids' audio platform.
This compilation of the UK's all-time best-selling album has 16 tracks to provide a rocking experience for young listeners. Sadly, the iconic song "Fat Bottomed Girls" won't be featured in this "Greatest Hits" version, according to Billboard.
Despite its controversial content, "Fat Bottomed Girls" was left out of the Rock And Roll Hall of Famers' published track list. The accompanying blurb noted that the song "have themes unsuitable for everyone and sometimes reference violence and drugs."
When considering playing "Fat Bottomed Girls," a double-a side with "Bicycle Race," from Queen's "Greatest Hits" released in 1978, it is suggested that "parental discretion is advised" due to it being an unedited recording.
While "Bicycle Race" may appear harmless, its lyrical reference to bike-riding "fat-bottomed girls" should still be considered.
Despite being an iconic work of art, this particular song by Freddie Mercury did not make it onto Yoto, likely due to its thematic lyrics.
He croons, "Left alone with big fat Fanny/ She was such a naughty nanny/ Big woman, you made a bad boy out of me."
"Fat Bottomed Girls" has driven Queen's "Greatest Hits" to incredible success.
This album, released in 1981, became just the third set to reach 1,000 weeks on the Official Albums Chart Top 100 last year; moreover, it is the first by a British act or rock band to achieve such a feat.
To top it off, it also made history as the first album to shift seven million chart sales in all of the UK surpassing the six million threshold in 2014.
