I was at the gym recently and the song "Fat Bottom Girls" by Queen was played over the main speakers.
This was the second time I'd heard it there in the last month. The first time I assumed it was just a radio station, but this time I listened a little more closely.
Apparently, there is a Gold's Gym broadcast station. (I generally listen to my own music so I hadn't noticed before).
Which I'm guessing means that somebody somewhere made a playlist and selected "Fat Bottom Girls"... to play at the gym.
Does that seem odd to anybody else?
Not to imply I don't enjoy the song because I do as long as I don't think too hard or listen to the lyrics.
I am a girl with some junk in the trunk. It doesn't really matter how many miles I put in on the treadmill, I will always have a bit of bubble butt. Actually, working out seems to make my issue even bigger.
So I'm cool with listening to a little booty worship at the gym (it just really amuses me).
As a matter of fact, I'd like to suggest a few songs for their playlist-
Shake Your Booty-KC and the Sunshine Band
Honky Tonk Badonkadonk - Trace Adkins (for the country fans out there)
Thong Song - Sisqo
Shoop- Salt N Pepa (a little love for the men)
and (of course)
Baby Got Back - Sir Mix-A-Lot
(I was thinking of adding "I'm too Sexy", but there are enough people at the gym who think they are too sexy for their shirts already. Keep your clothes on people. And no, a sports bra doesn't really count as a shirt in my book.)

That has GOT to be intentional if it's a Gold's Gym broadcast but I love it. I think you need to get your list of booty songs to corporate and have them added to the mix ASAP.
LOL. Very funny.
I'm not sure whether I'd be inspired or insulted but I'm very amused by your post about it. Can't hurt to send your list in.
You're right. That strikes me as odd too and perhaps a way to guilt somebody into picking up the pace just that extra little bit. Of course I'd rather listen to that than be screamed at by Jillian from The Biggest Loser. She's relentless.
"Big Bottom", by Spinal Tap?
no one's seen the movie?
see the thong song would drive me right out the door.
But yes, I am also a bubble butt. Was my nickname growing up. Mine is here to stay
Gym? Is that a place/shop in America?
Hope you don't mind, I linked my latest to the breastfeeding debate.
When did sports bras become "outside clothing"? I see them in grocery stores around here!
That's funny. I actually joined a gym near my office. It opens on January 15th. First time for me. I am sure it will be interesting.
That is a playlist that would be enjoyed by a few men I know. Stellar selection K ;)
I don't ever go to the gym... I prefer the open road. Those would be hilarious songs to play though!
I'd never heard the Thong Song (I'm very old, and hubby hates everything but bluegrass) so I linked to it. Too funny -- you've widened my horizons!
That does seem a LITTLE insulting. But I tend to think of Gold's as synonymous with GloboGym in the movie 'Dodgeball'. I bet they're adding weight to the scales too :P
Too funny! I wonder if someone at Gold's Gym has a good sense of humor or if it just had a good exercise rhythm? Is that the one with "bicycle...bicycle...I want to ride my bicycle"? It has been years since I heard that song!
reminds me of "apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur" for some reason.
@Andrea Leigh: yes! that's exactly what I thought of too!
That's pretty humorous, though. I'll have to listen more carefully to the music next time I'm at the gym.
And yes I agree about people keeping their shirts on. There is a middle-aged woman at my gym who without fail removes her shirt halfway through her workout...I'm sure you can imagine how that looks!
