"Bounce Your Boobies" is a song written and performed by comedian Rusty Warren.[1]
A song popularized in the feminist era of the 1960s, it enjoyed a resurgence in the 2000s when it was played every Friday on The Randi Rhodes Show[2] at the beginning of the program.[3] Though the song has been reported[by whom?] to have been most famously performed by Bette Midler, Rusty Warren has stated many times that she is not aware of Midler having ever performed the song but would have been pleased if Midler had wanted to sing it.[citation needed] Pretty Legs and Great Big Knockers by Bette Midler in Diva Las Vegas is a similarly themed song.[4]
On December 9, 2011, Rhodes announced that after that day's show, she would no longer be playing "Bounce Your Boobies" on Fridays, saying that she felt like it was time for a change after having played it for 12 years.[citation needed] As of March 14, 2014, Rhodes is once again playing the song in the opening of her Friday show.[citation needed] When she returned in 2016, she would play the song as usual, but after several months, she was forced to edit out that portion of the podcast on YouTube after multiple instances of getting flagged for copyright violations despite having a broadcast license that would allow her to use it. Ultimately, she discontinued the song altogether, citing the onerous process of appealing a copyright infraction to YouTube.
After Jubilee Records was folded, the recording was reissued by GNP Crescendo Records.[5]
Warren's version appears on Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Novelty Records of All Time, Vol. 3: 1960's (Rhino Records).
