> As I recall, it’s “Fat Bottomed Girls.” Interesting song-- at one point, the lyric “Get on your bikes and ride” is heard. Of course Queen also did a song about bicycles that included the lyric “Fat bottomed girls will be riding today.” Hmmm … just what _is_ that song about bicycles?

I don’t remember the title, but I can hear the song.
“I want to ride my bicycle. I want to ride my bike . . .”
It might be Bicycle Races.

I remember reading their 1st album was self-titled, but I can’t remember the name of it.

What’s that one where they sing, where another one bites the dust?

I believe the full title is “The Mighty Duck’s Theme Song (We Are The Champions)”

Yeah, but didn’t they lift it from a medieval jousting chant? I _know_ I heard that somewhere.
Interesting tidbit:
On public radio today I heard the story of how a school teacher helping with the galaxy zoo project hosted on Brian May’s website found the green blob they think might be lit up by and extinct quasar, then they played this driving beat without words for a bit, it was totally froody

I’m afraid this link doesn’t mention May, but no time for further searching.

I hear that one every time I ride the bus. I’ll ask the driver.

In Guitar Hero that role is played by Under Pressure. Particularly one point where he repeats “why” “Why” “WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY” and holds that high note, crescendos and slides to an even higher note. It’s crazy. I’m a fairly accomplished singer and that one just kicks my ass.
Enjoy,
Steven

I have a friend who can sing that. I was going to do “Under Pressure” for karaoke, but told her I couldn’t do that part. She performed it for me flawlessly right there.
Anyone remember that song where Freddie was looking for somebody to love? Had quite a misleading title, IIRC…

Incorrect! Queen did release a song called _Fat Bottomed Girls_. They make the rockin’ world go around…

It is called _Somebody to Love_. Loved it in Happy Feet

Both of you should be smacked…:dubious:
Another One Bites the Dust is from “The Game” IIRC.
Another Rides the Bus is Weird Al’s parody.
.. a huge whooshing sound enters the room…It’s a TRAP! :smack:

😕
I thought “frood” was a noun.
P.S. **ministryman** , are you absolutely _sure_ you understand the game that’s being played here?
I mean if so, full marks for a sublime whoosh, but… O\_o

This seems like a good thread to find another Queen song.
The lyrics talk about how to keep yourself alive. I’m stumped.

My Brother -in-Law and I, nailed that sucker!!!
The first time I did it alone, and got something like 70%. Which was devastating. It’s really too wordy for one person.
- It didn’t help that my SIL couldn’t wait til I was finished to mention that she had always thought they were saying, “Chris Miller we will not let you go…”\*
