This 70s Rock Classic Was All a BIG JOKE…BUT It PISSED A lot of PEOPLE OFF! | Professor of Rock

Today we’re wading into the controversy, and because of the premise of this story, we might get taken down, but it’s rock and roll so we gotta do this. Today’s double-sided hit got Queen and their iconic singer in big-time trouble. Freddie Mercury always lived to push the envelope in everything that he did. And in today’s hits, he may have gone too far in an adventure that even the band says has not aged well. The first side of the hit Fat Bottomed Girls was very non-PC, zeroing in on a certain part of a female’s anatomy, and Queen was immediately called every name in the book, from creepy to sexist. It was written as a big joke, but the powers that be were not laughing. The song on the second side of the record, Bicycle Race was not much better. It spawned a ton of backlash, even though it wasn’t at all controversial, at least not lyrically. But it got a lot of backlash for how it was promoted in a fantastical contest that ended with the band having to fork out a lot of dough to replace 65 soiled leather seats... and an album cover that we can’t even show on this platform. It’s the story of one of rock’s classic double-sided hits that included one of the strangest solos ever. Let’s do it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Executive Producer Brandon Fugal Honorary Producers Elizabeth Kohll, Sounding Bored, Michele M., Tim Coffey, Aloysius Jr Alday ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the Professor of Rock Podcast Apple: https://apple.co/445fVov Spotify: https://spoti.fi/42JpfvU Amazon: https://amzn.to/44b5D6m iHeartRadio: https://bit.ly/444h8MO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patreon: http://bit.ly/ProfessorofRockVIPFan Merch Store: https://professor-of-rock-lsn-shop.fo...
