O'Reilly guest host's comment on Chinese Olympic team: "I thought 'baby fat' was one of the Chinese volleyball players"

On the August 22 broadcast of The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly, in reference to allegations that the female gymnasts on the Chinese team did not meet Olympic age requirements, guest host Doug McIntyre aired a song that he said was "courtesy of WBAP, news talk out of Texas, a tribute -- a musical tribute to the Chinese Olympic team." The portion of the song aired by McIntyre includes the lyrics "[t]hey said that you were too young, I thought that was your name." Seconds later, the song asked: "How do you hide your baby fat? You can fake a passport, or do the twist, but you don't seem to know how to drive." McIntyre commented, "I thought 'baby fat' was one of the Chinese volleyball players."

From the August 22 broadcast of Westwood One's Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:

McINTYRE: The point is, there's always controversy, because the stakes are so high, either for national pride, professional pride, or let's face it -- Olympic gold doesn't end just with a medal. It can end with the Wheaties box cover; Michael Phelps hit the jackpot.

But we also have these little girls in the Chinese Olympic team. You're supposed to be 16 years old in order to compete in the Olympics. That's the rule. And everybody's looking at the gold-medal-winning Chinese gymnastic team, saying, "Are those girls 16? Jeez, they look little tiny -- little tiny girls." It's already become courtesy of WBAP, news talk out of Texas, a tribute -- a musical tribute to the Chinese Olympic team.

[song begins]

McINTYRE: Oh, yeah, everybody sing it out.

[song continues]

MALE: Not even into your teens, up on that beam, your chest no bigger than mine -- you're Chinese, you're beautiful, and you're 9.

CHORUS: You're just 9.

MALE: They said that you were too young, I thought that was your name. Now, imagine my chagrin -- you're Chinese, you're beautiful, and you're 9.

CHORUS: You're just 9, 9, 9.

MALE: You're a baby, you're a tot, even my nephew says that you're not hot. You flip and you flop all around the mat. How do you hide your baby fat? You can fake a passport, or do the twist --

McINTYRE [speaking over music]: I thought "baby fat" was one of the Chinese volleyball players.

MALE: -- but you don't seem to know how to drive.

MALE: You're Chinese, you're beautiful, and you're 9.

CHORUS: Little bitty bed-wetting 9.

MALE: You're Chinese, you're beautiful, and you're 9.

CHORUS: Little bitty nose-picking 9.

[song fades]

McINTYRE: Oh, that is the hit song everybody's singing in the Olympic village, courtesy of very funny guys down at WBAP in Texas. We thank them for that.

So, it's just, you know, part of -- remember when -- speaking of the Cold War, we've been talking a lot about the Cold War, back in the days when there was still East Germany and there were always questions about these East German judges, who would like -- these American divers or gymnasts would have, like, all 10s. And then the East Germans would say, "2.0." They're just -- or the East German female swimmers looked like linebackers, looked like they used to spend their time protecting Brett Favre, and all of a sudden they're in a Speedo.

Anyway, let's take a couple of phone calls.
