"Fat Man in the Bathtub" is one of the loose, loping grooves on Little Feat's 1973 album Dixie Chicken, and it's Lowell George's show from start to finish: he wrote it, sang it and produced it. The rhythm struts with a lazy hitch, the band plays behind the beat like they've got all afternoon, and George's vocal sounds amused by his own misfortune: funky, greasy and utterly unhurried.
