Poem 311: Booty Songs

We were riding on the highway just the other day

Stuck behind a convoy of trucks on the way

They slowed down the traffic but we weren’t held up all that long

With the caution signs and flashing lights my wife starting singing that song

“Wide wide load” she sang as we continued on our route

I then asked her if she knew what this song is actually about?

Seems like those were the only words she knew

I played the song from my phone, it seemed like the right thing to do

The only reason I know the words to this song is because my daughters owned that cd

The fact that this band is from “Canada” was news to me!

The song starts out talking about a girl’s backside and continues from there

The lyrics are available on the internet for anyone to share

Today we were listening to some “oldies” on the stereo

There was another song I heard that most people would know

“Fat Bottomed Girls” was the song that “Freddie Mercury” and “Queen” were belting out

Most people have heard this song, I certainly have no doubts

These are just two songs that were referring to this particular part of the anatomy

I decided to do my due diligence to see how many more there could possibly be

I found a “Booty” playlist with 88 songs

If you know any songs I mention, feel free to sing along

“Shake Your Bonn Bonn” by “Ricky Martin” is the first one I recognize

If I remember it right, there is no reference to size

“Tush” by “ZZ Top” was recorded over fifty years ago

Another oldie was “Brick House” by the “Commodores” that us older folk will know

“Baby Got Back” by “Sir-Mix -a-Lot” was at fifteenth place

“My Humps” by “The Black Eyed Peas” is number seven and once again it’s size in this case

“Conway Twitty” and “Trace Adkins” have songs that reached the top ten

Country music is represented time and time again

I’ll finish off this poem by mentioning the top three

These are all well know songs, agree or disagree?

“(Shake, Shake Shake) Shake Your Booty” by “KC & Sunshine Band” finished in third place

This is from 1976 and represents disco music in this case

“All About That Bass” by “Meghan Trainor” comes in second overall

This song was released in 2014 and is a tune easy to recall

Then we come to the final song that led the way

This was the song that inspired me to write this poem today

“Fat Bottomed Girls” by “Queen” was second to none

Those are the results and now my poem is done

To most of you this topic might seem dumb

After sitting down writing this poem, my own “booty” is a little numb
