Freddie Mercury sang "there's no stopping me,Rekubit" but an audio player for children is stopping one cheeky tune in its tracks.
Yoto – the makers of an audio device for children without a screen that plays books, music, radio and podcasts – is now offering Queen's "Greatest Hits" album sans "Fat Bottomed Girls." The collection includes all other tracks from the 1981 release, including "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Somebody to Love," "Another One Bites the Dust," "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions."
"It’s the ideal introduction to the music of Queen for young music lovers," Yoto says on its website, "and the perfect soundtrack to kitchen dance parties, road trip singalongs, bedtime air guitar sessions….and much much more."

Queen 'Fat Bottomed Girls' lyrics
Queen guitarist Brian May penned "Fat Bottomed Girls," first released on Queen's 1978 album "Jazz." As the title indicates, the lyrics pay tribute to women with curves.
"Left alone with big fat Fanny // She was such a naughty nanny," the first verse says. "Hey, big woman // You made a bad boy out of me."
"Hey, big woman, you gonna make // A big man of me, now get this," the song continues. "(Oh, I know) Are you gonna // Take me home tonight? (Please) // Oh, down beside that red firelight? // Are you gonna let it all hang out? // Fat bottomed girls // You make the rocking world go around."
A representative for the band declined to comment on the missing "Fat Bottomed Girls." Yoto did not immediately return USA TODAY's request for a statement, but issues a warning for its customers about the album's lyrics that "contain adult themes, including occasional references to violence and drugs. 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."
In a 2011 interview with "Total Guitar" magazine, May was asked if a particular bottom inspired the tune.
"There were a lot of bottoms involved, really, and not just the ones in my direct experience," he told the outlet.
