Obviously, all your baby-faced Fleshbot editors are much too young to remember the late-1970s heyday of Freddie Mercury and Queen. (Fine. Don't believe us.) We've heard their classic song "Bicycle Race" on old-timey radio and in a few commercials for the local cycle shop, but we don't recall ever seeing this original video for the tune, so we'll let internet know-it-all Wikipedia explain: "To release this song, Queen staged a bicycle race with 65 naked girls. The video was originally banned, and the video had to be re-edited with colour added to censor out any offensive imagery." Of course, the paltry amount of nudity in this unedited version could probably pass muster on Fox News these days, but maybe the world just wasn't ready for Fat Bottomed Girls on ten speeds. Thank Freddie and the boys for showing us the light.
