Queen’s song “Fat Bottomed Girls” appears on the 1978 album Jazz.
Jazz was Queen’s seventh studio album, released on 10 November 1978. The band recorded much of it outside the United Kingdom, working at Mountain Studios in Montreux and Studio Miraval in France. Roy Thomas Baker co-produced the record with Queen.
“Fat Bottomed Girls” was written by guitarist Brian May, who also shares lead vocals on the recording. It was released as part of a double A-side single with Freddie Mercury’s “Bicycle Race,” a pairing that became one of the album’s most memorable promotions.
Listeners sometimes confuse Jazz with News of the World because both belong to Queen’s late-1970s peak. “Don’t Stop Me Now” is also on Jazz, while “A Kind of Magic” and “The Game” are from later albums. Jazz reached number two in the UK and number six in the United States.
