As a cyclist, the fat bottom girls were probably added for mass market appeal given the smaller audience whom indeed just want to ride their bicycle. Finding natural allies in the fat bottom girl admiring population made sense and brought the whole song together nicely.
It’s not really about the bike riding, it’s about the fat bottom ladies who’ll be riding today
They make the rocking world go round.
Look out for those beauties, oh yeah.
Brian wrote lyrics for Fat Bottomed Girls. I was always wondering how was it for Freddie to sing it.
Eh, I’d think it’s like me singing Katy Perry “I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it”, essentially just a silly line
Edit: also just looking it up, he was bi-sexual, so I guess he likes fat bottomed girls too
His girlfriend Mary had a normal-sized bottom.
Freddie also liked women, though we don’t know his position on ones with fat bottoms
