Fat Bottomed Girls by Brian May, produced by Queen and Roy Thomas Baker. Released in the UK October 1978 as a Double A side with Bicycle Race from Jazz. the cover for the single featured a naked woman from the famous nude bicycle race that was staged to promote the single in the UK, but it caused a public outcry and was altered to show that same woman wearing painted on panties. The poster that came free with the album and that featured all the girls in the race was mainly made available by mail order so as not to upset retailers! Bicycle Race by Freddie Mercury, produced by Queen and Roy Thomas Baker. Released in the UK in October 1978 as a Double A side to Fat Bottomed Girls from the Jazz album. The song was written by Freddie whilst in France having just watched the Tour De France pass by his hotel. When it was played live local cycle shops sold out of bicycle bells before each gig as fans snapped then up to bring at the appropriate moment during the song.
