With over 7 million copies sold, Queen\u2019s Greatest Hits is the UK\u2019s best-selling album of all time.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s even estimated that 1 in 4 British households own a copy of the 1981 compilation album.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet now a new version of the record has been released on Yoto, an audio platform aimed at children, with one classic track missing.<\/p>\n
The song in question is Sir Brian May\u2019s Fat Bottomed Girls, which features the lyrics \u201cFat bottomed girls, you make the rockin\u2019 world go round.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The platform also included a content warning for the album\u2019s remaining songs.<\/p>\n
