When it comes to music praising the more ample figure, we know the usual suspects. Topping the list is Queen's anthem "Fat Bottom Girls" closely followed by the perinnial favorites "Brickhouse" by the Commodores and "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot. If you are of the country music persuation, Trace Atkins' "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" celebrates the larger junk in the trunk among us. Even U2's Bono sang about women with a few more pounds in "Big Girls are Best".

The songs below may be unfamiliar or they can be personal favorites. These are just three examples. Do you have any size-positive songs you would like to share?

"Big Boned Gal" - k.d. lang and The Declines

Legendary Canadian crooner k.d. lang get honky tonk on a tune about a big gal who can take charge of the dance floor and have people coming from miles around to see her dance.

She was a big boned gal
From southern alberta
You just couldn't call her small
And you can bet every saturday night
She'd be heading for the legion hall

(Chorus)
You take your girl
And multiply her by four
Now a whole lot of woman
Needs a whole lot more

k.d. lang performing "Big Boned Gal"

"Whole Lotta Rosie" - AC/DC

No one can question the meaning of this AC/DC Classic. When Bon Scott (deceased lead singer) sings "whole lotta woman" who weighs 19 stone (approx. 305lbs), in the live version, or 16 stone (approx. 266lbs) he leaves no doubt that he is praising a woman of substance.

According to Wikipedia "The song is about an obese Tasmanian woman, Rosie, with whom the singer a one night stand at the Freeway Gardens Motel in North Melbourne. In addition to pointing out the woman's size, the singer finds her to be one of the most talented lovers he's ever experienced.

"Sista Big Bones" - Anthony Hamilton

A sample of the lyrics:

I'd like to take you on a nice date
Shoot some riddles, have some vittles with you
Make no mistake, I'll be a gentleman
Take your coat, open doors, things I'll do

Sista Big Bones
(Big Bones, yeah)
Can a brother walk you home?
(Can I walk right beside you?)
Look like a plate of neck bones
(You look so good, look so good)
I like to keep your body warm
(I like to keep your body warm)

In the video featuring plus-size diva Mo'Nique, the beauty of the "thick" woman is on display and glorified.

Sista Big Bones video

A great modern classic, Mika sings about a pizza, Diet Coke and hot, fat chick. Food, love, a beat you can dance to, and FA. What could be better?

You take your skinny girl
I feel like I'm gonna die
'Cause a real woman
Needs a real man, here's why

You take your girl
And multiply her by four
Now a whole lot of woman
Needs a whole lot more
