Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Queen’s iconic songs — must-hear signature tracks chosen by fans (41–50)
Fat Bottomed GirlsQueen
A song written by guitarist Brian from the perspective of a young man about a fat woman.
Released in 1978 as a double A-side single together with Bicycle Race.
On the 2005 Queen tribute album Killer Queen, it was covered by Antigone Rising.
I’m In Love With My CarQueen
An emotional song with autobiographical elements.
Written by Roger, who also handled vocals and drums.
The engine sound in the track is said to be a recording of the engine of the Alfa Romeo Roger owned at the time.
The song was included on the B-side of the single “Bohemian Rhapsody,” released in 1975.
Tie Your Mother DownQueen
What a shocking song title.
Queen’s appeal, I think, lies in how they can go all out in both directions: the complex, profound pieces and playful songs like this one.
The guitar riff is very straightforward—and very cool.
Seven Seas of RhyeQueen
It was an instrumental track at the end of the debut album, but on the second album it was completed as a full song and released with lyrics.
Carried over from the previous work, it’s a track that lets you feel the continuity between the albums.
I’m Going Slightly MadQueen
A song Freddie wrote in London.
Part of the lyrics was suggested by his friend, Peter Straker.
Released as a single in 1991, its cover art was inspired by Grandville’s illustrations.
20th Century Fox FanfareQueen
This is a track produced to be included as the first song on the original soundtrack of the 2018 film Bohemian Rhapsody.
The iconic 20th Century Fox fanfare is luxuriously recreated with Brian’s guitar sound.
A Winter’s TaleQueen
A song inspired by the view from the window of the hospital on Lake Geneva where Freddie was hospitalized.
It features a psychedelic, dreamlike atmosphere.
After his death in 1991, it was included on the album “Made in Heaven,” released in 1995.
