So Freddie was bisexual, he had both male and female lovers...and Brian wrote this song and later said he knew Freddie would love to sing it because he liked big bottoms both in girls and boys...so...here it is, Fat Bottomed Girls...and yes, we do make the rocking world go round!! Thanks, Queen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

“I have mortgages on homes. I have stiffness in my bones. Ain’t no beauty queens in this locality. Oh but I still get my pleasure. Still got my greatest treasure. Big big woman you done made a big man of me.” Brian May lead guitarist wrote this song. John Deacon plays bass guitar and just doesn’t get seen as much. He’s very underrated! Roger Taylor is a beast on the drums and it may look like he’s just quietly singing along, but his voice is so distinctive that it just wouldn’t sound like Queen without him. All of them are great singers. They blend and harmonize so well together that it often just sounds like Freddie all the time. And Freddie is just miraculous.

When my Aunt passed this was played at her funeral 🤣🤣🤣 It was so fitting and she always said it would be played

I always think of this song as the original "I Like Big Butts."

Freddie was actually bisexual. He true love was woman he lived with in his 20's Mary Austin.

The band were in their early-30s here - definitely very young still, but not quite 20-21, haha! All of them played music throughout their lives and wanted to perform, but didn’t unify as Queen until roughly 1969-1970, 8-9 years before this. The bassist John Deacon (the second guitar you heard, bass guitar) is the youngest and was the last to join a couple years after that. They all got their degrees first before hitting it big! The guitarist Brian May (who also later got his PhD in Astrophysics and is now also an animal rights activist) wrote this, but he said he wrote it with Freddie in mind (“As Freddie liked fat-bottomed girls... or boys.”) Of course we don’t definitively know his sexuality, whether he was gay or bi, but it hardly matters. He preferred men at the very least as he got older and discovered who he was, but I do think he always appreciated the female form, haha.

When I tell young folks about Queen, the always ask about Freddie's sexuality.... This is always my response... I don't care if he was an alien from another planet, he was and always will be one of the GREATEST rock singers OF ALL TIME.... That's what I know and tell people, he was an incredibly talented human being who could pull your heart out in one verse and put it back in the next... Supreme talent!

If you want to hear Roger Taylor (the Drummer) singing, listen "I'm in love with my car" :D

Freddie was 32 years old at this time !! Looking so good 🥰 It wasn’t hose it’s was... I’ve got mortgages and homes, I’ve got stiffness in my bones... great reactions 😊. ❤️Freddie❤️

Freddie’s sexuality has been discussed for a long time, as to whether he was gay or bisexual (personally, I think it’s a lot more complicated than one sexuality or another) but regardless-- this song was written by the guitarist, Brian May. Freddie rocked the hell of it, but he didn’t write this lyrics. Hope this helps! ❤️

The drummer Roger Taylor sings lead in i’m in love with my car” and the guitarplayer Brian May sings lead in “39”.

Freddie was bisexual. He had two long term partners. One was Mary Austin and the other was Jim Hutton. They both were devoted to Freddie and were with him until his death in 1991 from bronchopneumonia as a result of AIDS. The song Fat Bottomed Girls was written by the guitarist Dr. Brian May for Freddie who liked girls and guys with junk in their trunk. Lol. All 4 members wrote songs and each had a number one hit. This is true only of the band Queen. Geniuses all.

The drummer is singing in perfect tune with Freddie so it sounds like his voice doubled.

Queen has voices that blend perfectly together ❤

:-D This song sounds pretty tame, but it was kind of a shocker when it first came out, because no one ever referred so explicitly to girls with big booties in any song (that became a hit) before this one! It’s hilarious how people were so scandalized! “Get on your bikes and ride!” “Bike” is British slang for a person you’re doing it with. For example, the “neighborhood bike” is the girl everyone has been with! Roger sings great falsetto and just great all around. One of the songs he wrote is the really naughty “I’m in love with my car”! I put this song on my brand new car’s sound system when I drove it off of the dealer’s lot! You’re adorable! I wish I was your mom! :-)

All the band members sang! The harmonies were superb!

Great reaction. Queen transcends everything! You name the type of music, they've got it! The "get on your bikes and ride" lyric is a connection to the companion song "bicycle race". I don't want to spoil the surprise but the music video for that song was in a word "daring" (aka not PG rated). By the time your done going through all of Queen's studio and live renditions of their songs, you will have so many favorite songs, your head will spin!

I always thought it was about both, big girls and/or big bottomed girls. Just appreciate beauty in all it's forms

So there was a thing back in the 90s, especially, where people pretended bisexuality didn't exist - it's a long story, it has to do with trying to get any political support at all for AIDS care and gay rights, it sucks in all sorts of ways, but that's where the confusion about Freddie's sexual orientation came from. He was bisexual, and had many important relationships - but his two great loves, famously, were Mary Austin and Jim Hutton. But this song was written by Brian May, and it wasn't actually about his own tastes - Brian had a friend who was telling him, one night in a bar, about his love for big girls, and he thought it was so great that he wrote a song about it. A damned good song. :)

Roger Taylor and Brian May both sang backing vocals.....Roger was well known for his falsetto... Four people in the band - Brian May (guitar, backing vocals), Roger Taylor (drums, backing vocals), John Deacon (bass) and Freddie Mercury.

Freddie was generally the lead. The others were the backups. That angelic echo/choir sound is all of them singing.

All 4 of the guys in Queen sing the chorus together, which includes Freddie. Freddie's voice was just so prominent. big woman you've gone and made a big man of me.

3:30- in Bohemian Rhapsody's middle section when they all sing at once the drummer is the highest pitched one (and soft spoken in interviews for the most part too.)

Please react to the happiest song ever . ''Don't stop me now'' According to a new study conducted by the University of Missouri, Queen's '' is the happiest song on earth. Just Google ''the happiest song ever'' :)

Some harmonies were sung by 3 members of the band (everybody except the bassist John Deacon), and some were multi-tracked recordings of Freddie.

Being young, I think you would enjoy Tie Your Mother Down, about trying to get alone time with his girlfriend. It's also written by Brian May

Freddie was gay yes, but Brian wrote this song. All the guys wrote songs, not just Freddie. But even if he did wrote this song, this was in the 70s so he couldn't have written about guys. He never did and he never came out publically. You have to check out the live version from Live at the bowl too 😆

Queen layered guitars and vocals in their studio tracks, it was their thing. That’s why everything sounds so full in this song.

I remember seeing him on tv when I was about 13-no comment on how long ago that was-but growing up in a small rural Mississippi town, he had fingernail polish on. I remember being terrified that my Mother (Baptist preacher's wife) would come in and I'd get in trouble for watching. But he was SO GOOD! It's about Fat Bottom Girls. No explanation needed.

Now ur learning Lil cuz u gotta hear Queen,Killer Queen.

I love how you are genuinely interested in everything about the video and the music, so decided to subscribe ❤

One guitarist who is a legend. It's a 4 man band - singer, guitar, bass and drummer.

I think this is also my favorite Queen song. Either this or Another One Bites The Dust. Either way I want Another One Bites The Dust to be played at my funeral. Your reaction was hysterical. "This is about girls that have fat... *makes gestures*" too funny. It's about girls with fat bottoms. Not fat girls.

"Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round!" - Astrophysicist Dr. Brian May

You should react to - "Fat Bottomed Girls," live at The Bowl 1982 . What a crazy performance!. Freddie is on fire., he does a little bit of pole dance. It's worth watching

Jojo you are great :) really like your honest reactions and thoughts. And also Jesus popping out from time to time 😅

Ahhh, the innocence of youth. 😉 Go listen to it again.

The guitarist was studying to be an astrophysics and the drummer wanted to be a dentist. One of their band men dropped out. Freddie came when he left. The songs bout a woman is Mary, the love of his life. He tried being straight and was actually bisexual

I love watching you discover music I grew up with

What you hear is Brian May's guitars layered.

I remember a bunch of 'feminists' coming out against this song. As a normal woman, I always LOVED this. It is funny, quirky, well-constructed and catchy.

JOJO Queen Led Zepplin and The Who. Molded rock music today...

This was written by Brian May but Freddie wasn't straight up gay. He didn't care about gender. It was just if he thought somebody was attractive. He was with men and women.

Do the dam thang Jo Jo. LFR family taking Over.

Just found your channel a few days ago and love your reactions. Freddie would be so happy that his music moved you. For a real treat on their different side Check out these short songs from their album Night at the Opera “Lazing on a Sunday afternoon” “39” “Seaside Rendezvous” and “Good Company”

Two more official videos for you to do, “don’t stop me now” and “another one bites the dust”. Live performance of “who wants to live forever” from Wembley 86 is brilliant Freddie vocals. Of course all building towards live aid, but save that for down the line.

I always took it as Big Women and this is my favorite song of theirs as well

Try "Stone Cold Crazy", "Nevermore", "39", Seven Seas of Rye", man, so many good songs! BTW, anyone mentioned already that Brian May got a PHD in Astrophysics?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 *You Are WORKING Man‼️*

I'm in Love With My Car... Is a great song by Queen that features Rodger Taylor (drummer) on lead vocals

Freddie was multi-sexual and the whole band was classically trained at the London School. Freddie was the lead and the rest of the band did the harmonies.

This song was from 1978. You need to watch Queen's 'Somebody to Love'. Yes 4 person band - Freddie on vocals, Brian May on guitar and John Deacon on bass and Roger Taylor on drums.

I have a friend who saw them live on this tour, 1979 in Brussels

There you go JoJo! Nice choice✌

Omg imagine listening to Queen songs for the first time again!! 😅😅😅🥰🥰🥰

If u listen to live Montreal 1981 find me somebody to love u can hear him Especially towards the end blows your mind the passion u feel from everyone

You can get the multitracks for lots of Queen songs, if you listen carefully that "Queen harmony" is a definite blend of Roger (drummer) Brian (Guitarist) and Freddie. Interestingly, when I hear the harmonies in this song, its definitely more Brian that I hear!

Freddie can sing anyone's song about anything and make it sound awesome. Thanks! btw, most of their videos showing them singing together "as if" it is a live performance - as this and many of their early works are - are lip-synced. They wanted to be known as a 'live band', and their live performances are iconic as you're starting to discover.

'Another one bites the dust' Is fantastic. Gotta see if you've reacted to it yet

Love your reaction.

Great reaction 👏 drummer Roger you can hear him singing (sorry my english) Queen I'm in love with my car" 😊👏

man, Freddie was ALWAYS lit. great band

Both: heap big woman &/or fat bottom girls. Freddy Mercury - Lead Singer, pianist, & other instruments. Brian May - Lead Guitar (high notes) John Deacon - Bass Guitar (low notes) John Taylor - Drums

So Freddie was born in 1946 and "Fat Bottom Girls" was released towards the end of 1978, so he was likely 31/32 when they recorded the video. I think he just looked younger with the longer hair and clean shaven. I'm pretty sure Freddie never publicly labelled his sexuality, he and the band always avoided doing so because of the time period they were worried it could hold the band back & attitudes (especially in 70s). However, he never denied being "not straight", and is known to have had relationships and attractions to both men and women. Of course, back then there were less talked about shades of the rainbow and most people tended to assume if a man had relationships with other men (or women with women) that they were simply homosexual...regardless of whether they also had relationships with people of the opposite sex, and of course when it came out that he had AIDS many people assumed he was gay; so while he would outwardly seem bisexual it's not fair to put a label on him that he didn't put on himself, I think if he were still around today he might likely use bi or queer, but he may even have been perfectly happy with not labelling himself. I seem to remember he had a lot of fun with flipping norms on their head. Aside from the legendary swag and stage presence, being incredibly charismatic, he was also a genuinely very funny man from interviews and antics that I saw of him on TV at the time. On top of that, I believe Brian May wrote the song, but given the kind of guy he was, I imagine Freddie must have found performing it wonderfully entertaining.

Best Roger Taylor (drummer) songs are I'm in Love With My Car and Tenement Funster. Best Brian May (lead guitar) songs are "39" and Sleeping On The Sidewalk. John "Deacy" Deacon (bass) occasionally sang some backing vocals but not often. As to the multiple guitars, that's all Brian May, just the way their songs were written and mixed, lots of layers and panning from side to side for a larger sound.

Back in the day you did not see very many fat people so i can see how you could be a bit confused. This was one of my 5 favourite bands in the 70’s. Freddie has a voice no one can match to this day & it was a sad day when he passed. So much talent gone too soon.

Aww this music is like a time machine

There will never be another Freddy, but you should check out Queen now with Adam Lambert

Freddy Mercury was a Rock Legend... Nobody can fill his shoes...EVER!!

That's not how being gay works, bro. (Source: can personally confirm 😂😂). Regardless, the song was actually written by Brian. He liked fat bottomed girls and has said Freddie also appreciated fat bottomed boys, too. Oh and the band is four people - Freddie, Roger, Brian, and John. There's only one guitar (although Bri kind of does lead and rhythm all in one) but there's also John on bass. Everyone also sings, at least occasionally. John sings less frequently and only backup but Freddie, Roger, and Brian all harmonize constantly and any one can sing lead. To hear Rog, try I'm in Love with My Car (Live at Montreal is great) and to hear Brian, try 39 or Sail Away Sweet Sister. Also, definitely check out this song Live at the Bowl. They go even harder live!

JoJo, there were 4 song writers in Queen. Each band member wrote and contributed. Freddie was lead singer and strong influence, but not leader of the band.

You should react to the queen the making of one vision full doc (about 20 mins) then react to the song one vision great reaction by the way!

FIRST!

Way before it's time and we all like a good bootie ✌😂

The song is Fat Bottom Girls that's your booty and Freddy was actually bisexual most of his adult life the love of his life was a woman named Mary Austin he referred to her as his wife and he left her most of his fortune even though the last six years of his life he lives with a gay lover he is quoted as saying I could never loved a man the way I have fallen in love with Mary

LOL, it's all about the Badonkadonk!

The drummer is the high voice - the VERY high voice in songs like Bohemian Rhapsody. Freddy was the lead singer but the harmonies are there if you listen.

Yeah Freddie is the lead singer but Roger the drummer sometimes does the back vocals, but there's a song I'm in love with my car where Roger sings the whole song

Now that you've reacted to to "Fat Bottom Girls", yoy definitely need to check out "Bicycle Race"

I think that They have at least 2 but probably 3 guitars. It is a lead guitar, a rhythm guitar player and then a Bass Player. Freddie Mercury was Bi before committing to being only Gay. He had a very loving and Patient Girlfriend for many years. She loved Him enough to let Him go. She wanted Him to be happy. She told Him, “If the Gay Man is Who You are; You need to be true to YOURSELF!!! She told Him that She could not make Him happy. He finally, broke up with Her or They Broke up, mutually. He went on to being ONLY Gay afterward. He still had His Girlfriend when Queen first hit it BIG!!! I think that One of their biggest hits before Bohemian Rhapsody was Fame with David Bowie. That was their second best song release. Their first Biggest Hit Song was “Queen!” It is such an AWESOME SONG!!! I think that after Fame and before Bohemian Rhapsody; The next BIG HIT FOR THEM WAS “FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS.” The line in the Song that You asked about was, “Fat Bottomed Girls, YOU MAKE THE ROCKING WORLD GO ROUND”! Anyway, I could chat with You about Queen all day and night. I love Your takes on the music of My Childhood, teenage years and My early twenties. They were AWESOME, FUN AND CRAZY, OUTRAGEOUS TIMES!!! I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!! No apologies from this old Grandma now. I still love Rock MUSIC AND AM TEACHING MY 13 year old Grandson and My 9 Year Old Granddaughter to BANG THEIR HEADS!!! Listen to Quiet Riot’S Bang Your Head for that One. Okay, keep up Your Awesome work. I look forward to Your next Post. ✌🏽💜👍🏼👋🏼

Watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. It's about Queen, titled that because that's their most famous song.

Heeeeyyyyy I love love watching your queen reactions, pls pls pls pls can you do Queen Born to love you, its absolutely epic, you won't be disappointed 😉 Sammy hampshire UK

We Will Rock You/We are the Champions is very good!

I was a fat bottomed girl in a skinny world. Freddie's was the first voice I heard that said I had value.

Dude you always have to watch the remastered ones

there are four members of Queen. Freddie Mercury is the lead singer, Brian May is the guitarist, John Deacon is the bassist, and Roger Taylor is the drummer.

It's my favorite too!

Only 1 guitarist that's Brian may, this isn't live obviously, it's a video to the song done in the studio, so the guitar was dubbed over rhythm then lead,

Check: Another One Bite The Dust, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, The Show Must Go On (he recorded this one in one take, in his final days).

You have to watch this together with bicycle race. These songs reference eachother. Do make sure you get the official video for it.

Check out the live version at Milton Keynes Bowl, then you'll hear Roger😃

Yes he was young

This is just pure fun. Groupies, groupies & more groupies.

Yes, Freddie Mercury was mostly in relationships with men, but he was married to a woman he called “the love of his life” at one point. He was bisexual. He is that rare unicorn of human who knows EXACTLY who they are and do no apologize. Edit: I am fully grown, and aware that a LOT of gay men marry women. That is NOT what this particular relationship was between those two.

He was bisexual not that it matters ever but he is and will always be my favorite as a straight woman I’ve been in love with him all my life thank god my mom was a HUGE Queen fan while I was growing up I just turned 39 and spent my day listening to Queen still til this day my favorite band Freddie Mercury was and will always be EVERYTHING

I've got some song recommendations, but not sure if I should put them here or where 🤔 They are for many different bands and singers. A few I will put here is for Jim Croce. Operator Bad, Bad Leroy Brown You Don't Mess Around With Jim Time In A Bottle Rapid Roy I'll Have to say I Love you in a Song Those are just a few of my favorite Jim Croce songs and I think you might like them, too 😎

Classic line: "Left alone with big fat Fanny - she was such a naughty Nannie'. Doesn't come much better than that

freddie is a bi icon and we love him. us bisexuals hold him dear to our hearts....

Watch the first highlander movie they are the ones that do the soundtrack for the movie and then listen to the song afterwards the video princes of the universe cuz here we are the princes of the universe here we belong fighting for survival we got to be the rulers of you all

Actually Brian May the lead guitarist likes big booties on women as he has stated. Yes on bass guitar is John Deacon and Roger Taylor on drums does sing on a lot of songs, he has an amazing voice he teaches super high notes, I just love him. He's cute, sexy can sing and is probably one of the top 5 drummers ever.
