Recognized as the U.K.’s all-time very popular cd, Queen’s very early occupation collection is currently offered on children’ audio system Yoto, where audiences can “rock out to” 16 timeless tracks, reviews a declaration.

“Fat Bottomed Girls,” among the Rock And Roll Hall of Famers’ naughtier tracks, is missing out on from the released tracklist.

The blurb going along with the cd mentions that “the lyrics in some of these songs contain adult themes, including occasional references to violence and drugs.” The tracks are the initial as well as unedited recordings, which “parental discretion is advised” when playing the tracks around more youthful kids.

The track doesn’t make it on Yoto, probably due its lyrical material. On it, the late Freddie Mercury sings, “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 actually assisted Queen‘s Greatest Hits to ride on for a number of significant graph documents.
