SOUTH LOOP — "Fat Bottomed Girls" lord it over Taylor Swift's scrawny behind — at least in the South Loop anyway.

A DNAinfo survey of songs played on Chicago jukeboxes found that Queen's '70s rocker "Fat Bottomed Girls" topped a pair of Taylor Swift songs in the Top 5 of the 60605 ZIP code made up of the South Loop and parts of the Loop.

Swift posted "Shake It Off" as runner-up and "Blank Space" in fourth, sandwiching Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" in third.
