Right said Fred - "I'm too Sexy"

Right Said Fred is the name of a British pop band, which was founded in 1989 by brothers Richard Fairbrass and Fred Fairbrass from East Grinstead, as well as their close friend Mark Hollins. The group is named after a novelty song of the same name which was a hit for Bernard Cribbins in 1962. In 1991 released their single, "I'm Too Sexy", which was released by the Gut Reaction firm on an especially-created record label called Tug. The song, a tongue-in-cheek dance song sung from the point of view of a vain male fashion model, became a huge hit in the United Kingdom, spending six weeks at number two behind Bryan Adams' blockbuster "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You". The song also went to number one on the charts in the United States and went on to become a hit around the world. The song's instrumental break is based on the chorus of the 1974 instrumental hit "Dance with the Devil" by Cozy Powell which itself is based on "Third Stone from the Sun" by Jimi Hendrix.
