October 13, 1978 –
Queen released their double A sided single Fat Bottomed Girls/ Bicycle Race on this date
The songs ran together on the album, and were often played that way by radio stations. The year before, Queen released We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions as a double A-side. They are still usually played together by radio stations. Each song has a reference to the other in the lyrics: in Bicycle Race, a lyric runs: Fat bottomed girls, they’ll be riding today, so look out for those beauties, oh yeah. In Fat Bottomed Girls the closing call shouts get on your bikes and ride!, linking the two songs together.
