"Baby got Back" or "Fat-Bottomed Girls?"

[Vraille Darkfang]

*sniff* My little girl is growing up. Pretty soon I won't even have to play "straight man" for her.

Does this mean you'll have to start playing "gay man" for the universe?

Or start playing "straight man" for Lady Acoma? You know, just in case....

Alright. Enough. Seriously. It's a funny joke in moderation, but this is not in even vaguely similar context to the thread from which it originated.

Polite request (to all): end it.

Ok. In my defense I've just spent this afternoon with a oral surgeon using progressivly larger diameters of drill on my jawbone so he can stick an steel post Denatl Implant in it.

I still can't feel the left side of my face, and the medication is making me kinda woozy.

So, I'll try to kick it back on topic.

My problem is I can't seperate the Artist from the Song.

When I hear Queen, I'm reminded of Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Will Rock You, Bohemian Rhapsody, Highlander Soundtrack, Flash Gordon Soundtrack, Radio Ga-Ga (prophetic, n'cest pas?), Bicycle, We are The Champions, Another One Bites the Dust, Queen Killer, Somebody to Love, etc, etc, etc.

OK, they were also behind the rise of Vanilla Ice when he grabbed Brian May's Guitar Riff for Ice, Ice, Baby. Of course they also helped in his destruction when they sued his shiny jump pants off for stealing that riff. So it balances out.

When I hear Baby Got Back, I'm reminded of A large blcak man on a giant fiberglass rear. And, umm, A man on a giant, fake behind. And, then theres is....A large black man sliding down a fake booty. Oh, there is Shrek 2 where donkey is singing & the dragon is shaking her tailfeathers.

Queen had 20+ years of hits & was a seminal rock band enshrined in the Hall of Fame. If we hadn't lost Freddy, they'd still be making great music today.

I'd take Freddy singing Old McDonald's Farm over 90% of what 'artists' are out there today, his voice was that good.

Mixy just got lucky (and knows it). Of course, he also got the shaft as shortly after Baby Got Back, some guy named Tu Pac hit & Rap went into Gangster Mode, driving his style from the business.

To really get this, you'd have to find soemone that had no idea who Queen is & play both songs to see which they prefer.

Universe,

I hope this gets it back on topic.

Universe,

to that end, I believe that Baby Got Back is the superior example of "big-ass-praising" music. Also, my wife tends to "shake that thang" whenever she hears the song. While I don't really favor the song, I do favor "that thang."

Well, that's as good a reason as any I've ever heard for liking a song.

Comparing anyone's song to a Queen song is like comparing some high schood kid's painting to a Van Gogh. Sure the kid probably did a decent job, but you're comparing his work to a Van Gogh. One is a shining pinnacle of human achievement! The other is, uh, a nice effort.

Of course, the Queen song is better. It's Queen!

Ah, but I'm tuned every friday to a station that plays 80's and 90's pop in a music mix, and they love that song to the tune of once a week, so riposte!

Sounds like a station I listen to: HITZ 94.1 (High Point, Greensboro, Lexington, North Carolina)

I'll give you this, though - there are a heck of a lot more active Queen fans than Sir Mix-a-Lot fans, so touché.

I think there's more Sir Mix-A-Lot fans up here. We hear that more than the Queen song. Although we'll hear "We Will Rock You" and a couple more but not "Fat Bottomed Girls".

Mostly I listen to that station, WEND 106.5 out of Charlotte, and The Buzzard (100.3).

I don't think Fat Bottomed Girls was as big a hit, and doesn't seem to get as much airplay on the "classic rock" stations as some of their other songs. It seems like the Queen playlist on most classic rock stations consists of:
- Killer Queen
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- We Will Rock You / We Are The Champions

Some will also play:
- Somebody To Love
- Another One Bites the Dust
- Crazy Little Thing Called Love
- Under Pressure

Bicycle Race / Fat Bottomed Girls doesn't seem to get a lot of lovin'.

While I voted for "both," I AM dismayed that the poetry of David St.Hubbins and Nigel Tufnel was ignored:

Spinal Tap
Big Bottoms! Big Bottoms! Talk about mud-flaps, my girl's got 'em! Big bottom drive me outta my mind- how can I leave this behiiiiiiind?

Had it been on the poll, I would have voted yes to all 3.

I'm not really a fan of big butts. Not that I like 'em scrawny, but ghetto booty is a bit too much junk in the trunk for me.

But I am a fan of Queen. FBG it is.
