Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"I'm Too Sexy" is the debut song by British group Right Said Fred. The single peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart. Outside the United Kingdom, "I'm Too Sexy" topped the charts in six countries, including Australia, Ireland, and the United States.
The single equalled the record for the most weeks at number two on the UK Singles Chart without ever topping the chart, staying at number two for six weeks in a row while held back by Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" (this equalled the previous record set by Father Abraham's 1978 hit "The Smurf Song").
The band is considered a one-hit wonder in the United States, their only other charting United States single peaking at No. 76. However, "I'm Too Sexy" was the act's first of several hits in their native United Kingdom, and they would have a number one single on the UK Singles Chart with "Deeply Dippy" in April 1992.
In April 2008, the song was rated No. 49 on "The 50 Worst Songs Ever! Watch, Listen and Cringe!" by Blender. In 2007, the song was voted No. 80 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s. In 2011, it was voted No. 2 on VH1's 40 Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the 90s.
"I'm Too Sexy" is sung from the point of view of a histrionic-narcissistic male fashion model. He repeatedly claims to be "too sexy for" various things, such as his shirt, his car, his cat, "your party", or the song itself.
