Oh no, they didn't!
After excluding a classic Queen song from its catalogue, an audio platform has put people's knickers in a knot.
London-based "Yoto" left out the 1978 massive hit "Fat Bottom Girls" from Queen's Greatest Hits catalogue.
To be fair, Yoto is a children-friendly audio platform.
The company said, "The average age of our listeners is five years old, and after consultation, we felt 'Fat Bottomed Girls' wasn't appropriate for our young audience."
Other tracks come on with an online content warning, saying "These are the original and unedited recordings. Whilst no swear words are used parental discretion is advised when playing this content to or around younger children."
Reports say that the band had agreed to the song's omission before its release.
Even though the band is cool with the song being left out of the platform, fans are not.
One person said the song is about body positivity.
"I love Queen and have been listening to them since early teens. What’s wrong with fat bottom girls? I always thought that was a song about bigger girls rockin the world and men attracted to bigger butts. At least it’s not a body shaming song,”
Others feel it makes sense to omit the song, saying it's not appropriate for young children.
On "X" user said "Songs are left off albums or have censored lyrics for releases in certain countries all the time so this seems like a reasonable decision. They still have a bunch of great songs so it's a minimal loss to experience."
