Asia got it. It was done with the intention of being very 'tongue in cheek' roasting fashion models and idle narcissists, great reaction! :)

Back then before social media, instead of rudely announcing our displeasure with different approaches to life, people did constructive things like turn their personal frustrations into art that everyone could enjoy. It can be very cathartic to wring some joy out life by evolving a frustration into a creation.

They are the Fairbrass brothers who owned a gym in London. They would see all the posing going on by the patrons and joked about all the narcissistic behavior. The lead singer apparently took off his shirt one day and began posing and made up this song. Song became a hit.

I remember us all dancing to this at the youth club disco when it released. We'd all line up in opposite rows and do the model walk.🤦‍♂️😂

2:58 is literally the happiest moment of Asia's entire life.

This was huge back in the day.. everybody went around singing this. It was just too much fun! I still hear someone say it every now and then and it cracks me up 🤣

the smiles when this first started was amazing!

Asia's Reaction was priceless the sparkle in her eyes, and the I like it,but I don't want to like it smile. Love it!

i cant be the only one that has watched this reaction multiple times just to see asias facial expressions...there awesome!

Oh yes!! Such a fun song 🎵 And yes Asia, this was a spoof/parody making fun of models and their ego's etc. 😂🤣😂🤣

This came out when my son was about 6 & he used to sing this putting his school uniform on - he went to a church school & I used to say please don't sing this at school!!.

It was sending up the modelling/fashion industries with ridiculous lyrics-the visuals were a giveaway as well, the bald guitarist had £15 stuck on his guitar. They were huge in the UK & Europe from 1991-1993 as a joke band, but then had no real success after that-although they are still huge in Germany as a touring band. More recently they ended up being derided due to their Covid views. Right Said Fred was a hit single for the UK actor Bernard Cribbins 30 odd years earlier & they named themselves after that.

we had a laugh in the 80's you have no idea how big this was... it made everybody laugh

Asia with her eyes closed trying to get her words out: "Yeah he cut. He got it going on" 🤣🤣. The two of you are amazing

Asia - your face was an absolute picture throughout the whole song/video! 🤣 This was an example of British humour and our love of irony.

Asia's reaction is priceless 🤣

This song became a big hit when it came out, purely based on the "WTF?" factor. Even if you never saw the video, the song cracks you up.

This is a song Zoolander would sing.

There was a movie called Grumpy Old Men this song was in. I don't know what year it came out but I rented the video tape and took it to my 86 year old mother's house to watch it with her. She loved this song and I got the biggest kick out of her reaction. She was a GOD fearing southern lady with never a hair out of place but she threw her head back and roared at this. thank you for reacting

LOL so i used to be a professional wrestler and this song was my partner and i’s ring entrance music back in ‘92 lol we both wore pink spandex and pink feather boas to the ring 😬 good times!

It is a pop duo from UK. They had with this song in 1991 the second No 1 hit of a british group in the US after the Beatles in 1964. And this pop duo is a two-hit wonder. "Don't talk just kiss" is also from them.

Right Said Fred was a song by a man called Bernard Cribbins a song about a couple of working guys failing to get a job done. Loved by little kids in the 60's. The smile at the end says it all, it's just fun.

This song is the silly, cheeky vibe counterpart of Madonna's Vogue. With either song you are set for the runway or the nightclub.

"Right Said Fred" made this song to actually poke fun at all the self-centered conceited celebrities of the time (models, actors, singers, etc.). So, it was really a joke on them.

This song took over when it released…Ppl had the most self esteem at that time than any other time since Ive been alive. It sounds like itd be a cocky song to make as an artist but in reality it transferred that self worth into every body that listened to it. It was on the radio all the time snd when it came on you couldnt help but feel a bit stronger about yourself. Its a pretty cool little transfer of self esteem.

Bassist Fred and his brother, singer Richard Fairbrass are still performing now and still look good when I saw them last year. Guitarist Rob Manzoli plays a Jimi Hendrix riff from the song 'Third Stone from the Sun' on this track

“Right said Fred / One each end and steady as we go / Try to shift it / Couldn’t even lift it / we were getting nowhere.” These are the lyrics from an old London song.

I'm too sexy for reactions, too sexy for reactions, I'll end up in traction.

Holy shit! The looked of confusion/disbelief on your faces was priceless 🤣

♥ I'd pay good money to hear Asia cover this song. C'mon, girl.

This was a song making fun of models , the were twin brothers I believe and body builders.

My theme song whenever I'm out and about lol

Right Said Fred is the most metal band in the Universe (and probably the Universe beyond)

Love the way the models are photographers

"Right Said Fred" was an English comedy hit in the early 1960s, which this band obviously named themselves after.

He was goofing on the fashion industry

They definitely weren't a one hit wonder.

Right said Fred was a single released in the 1960’s, a comic song about some guys delivering a piano

I heard South Padre 1992 you couldn't walk 20 feet without another boombox jamming this song. It had a 2 or 3 month run but it was definitely lit during that time.

"Right Said Fred" was the title of a comedy song by Bernard Cribins released in the late 1950's /early 60's. It is a standard phrase used in the UK. The guys were taking the piss out of people posing in their gym and probably took the name in homage to the original funny song. IT is very British in every respect!

I can't believe you have never seen this !

We used this song in the early 90's to annoy high school teachers. I'm sure we weren't the only ones..

1st) Asia has one of the most fantastic li'l faces anyone could ever see! 2nd) As far as 'one-hit-wonder' i think these guys were actually a 'two-hit-wonder'.(But don't ask me to remember the other one, haha) Two brothers (i think from Germany, but i could be wrong on that) I heard on a brief interview(somewhere) that he had made this song as a 'goof' and then it just f'n took off. It was popular, got a lot of play on MTV at the time (unfortunately haha. A lot of us just thought it sucked, and couldn't figure out it's popularity) Idk, a lot of people apparently liked it. Now there's that one catchy little riff (it shows the guy playing it on a guitar, but it sounds so heavily synthesized, it sounds more like a key-board) idk if they sampled that from someone, or if others had sampled it from them. That's the part you probably heard 'somewhere'. That's actually, not a bad riff, on it's own. And yet somehow perfectly fits the whole 'cat-walk theme'. I could totally picture a girl walking a cat-walk with that music playing, it just somehow fits. But yeah, ha ha, 'so' ridiculous, smh, indeed.

I remember Growing up in Fortlaudale Florida listening to this and all the killer techno pop songs in nightclubs that were as big as cities themselves...Born and raised there in Fort Lauderdale when folks just loved everyone. The late seventies and eighties what a blast. An awesome time to be alive. Before the left was trying to destroy our country. Trying to destroy E Pluribus Unum and usher in the CCP of the West a Totalitarian godless hell hole. I love seeing these guys smiling and laughing they lift my spirits. Thank you so much... l love you BOTH SO MUCH...PLEASE REMEMBER FOLK'S TO HIT THE LIKE BUTTON AND SHARE THEIR HAPPINESS AND LOVE WITH EVERYONE.....🔥👍🔥

They played this on Married With Children when they went to England and tried on clothes 🤣

Right Said Fred are a London-based English band formed by brothers Fred and Richard Fairbrass in 1989. They are best known for the hit 1991 song "I'm Too Sexy".

I had to share this awesome video I knew everyone would love it... I'm so thankful you guys are keeping us all smiling and reminding us life is about loving one another and being happy... every time I enjoy your channel I smile and feel the love...keep up the good work...God Bless America 🇺🇸 And may God bless all her Countrymen...

Right Said Fred is comprised of the buff brothers Richard and Fred Fairbrass, and at the time, guitarist Rob Manzoli. The Fairbrass Brothers were managers at a London dance studio called the Dance Attic, where they came across lots of narcissism and posing. As Rich Fairbrass tells it, they had a loop playing on the computer, and inspired by his dance studio experience he spontaneously took his shirt off and started singing, "I'm too sexy for my shirt." Peace out.

One of my fav novelty songs its a great send-up of the fashion industry.

Met them on Heathrow Airport London, nicest guys you could ever hope to meet. So, so sweet and so very handsome

Classic song and much loved. There is a small section that sounds like something I heard before. Watching this I suddenly realised they sampled 'Dance With The Devil' by Cozy Powell! Drove me nutz.

That was great, thanks for sharing this one.

First time listening and watching this music video. When it first came out, I heard one line on the radio and avoided it ever since. Thanks guys! One and done for me.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet but the guitar lick at the bridge is from Jimi Hendrix's "Third Stone From The Sun". It was the hook that got the attention that turned it into an instant worldwide classic.

Richard Fairbrass, I've seen him on TV a few times he seems like a real down to earth person. Not that you'd think from this song lol

Many, many years ago, I stopped by our local high-end stereo dealer and bought "the most fabulous object in the world" (Time Bandits reference) from their trade-in rack: a 5 disc CD carousel player (in the late 80s, this was epic). The stereo story HID a "Right-Said-Fred" cd in the carousel player, just to get rid of it. Along with Wham! and Milli Vanilli's Greatest Hits....

Oh yes!! As soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew I would get the LAUGHS I desperately needed today 🙏💙😹 … you guys might get a kick out of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, relax! It’s a great song, and it got tons of radio play back in the day, but that’s only because they had no idea what it was about, check it out, love you guys thanks and have a great day!✌️🌻💚

Formed by brothers Fred and Richard Fairbrass in 1989 and are still going today! They are best known for the hit 1991 song "I'm Too Sexy". Think about this it reached number 1 hits in 70 countries including one US number 1, one UK number 1, and a number 1 in Japan. They were the first UK band to reach the number one slot in the US with a debut single since The Beatles. They have performed for Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom, Nelson Mandela. Crazy fun Song!

Worked at a company at the time of this song that was undergoing some layoffs One of my colleagues actually said to the boss 'I'm too sexy for my job' He was unemployed shortly after

My granddaughters are 15 and 14 when this came out they were about 4 and 5 they would sing this they loved it lol.

Great satiric piece. Samples Hendrix: Third Stone From the Sun. So did Jaco. The circle continues.

This song was popular in dance clubs too. It was a joke song and we all danced to it like it was a joke. Good memories, good memories 🤣

Making fun of people who think they are too sexy. It's perfect. Though, back in the day everybody became too sexy on the dance floor when this song started. It was fun.

Right Said Fred are an English-based band and the song is fun and incredibly tongue-in-cheek. As you know us Brits like to make fun of ourselves.The band are named after a popular comedy song from the 1960s called “Right Said Fred” by the actor Bernard Cribbins where he spins a tale of men trying to move a piece of furniture and gradually dismantling the whole house in the process.

Two voices from the early days of rock and roll recently passed away, Ronnie Hawkins and Bobby Rydell, who Rydell High School in Grease was named for. Could you please listen to Ronnie Hawkins sing Mary Lou (live) and I'll Never Dance Again by Bobby Rydell?

The first thing I ever noticed about this song was the "3rd Stone from the Sun" riff .

Asia's going to be singing this while getting dressed for weeks 🤣🤣

These guys were a cheeky novelty act and everyone loved it! 😁❤️❤️

Omg did I really loved this song in the 80’s I 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i dancing and after this song, every girl did that. Can not remember I heard something else from him 😅😅😅

Back in the day you'd see people wearing tee-shirts with Right Said Fred on it. The song was huge in clubs for a while.

Does anyone else notice jimi hendrix riff “third rock from the sun” riff they use in this song 🤘❤️

I got so excited just now, when I realized y'all had reacted to this🤗 Watching now!!

Asia has the biggest grin on her face I've ever seen, lol. Like, ear to ear y'all. Love it, lol. I remember this song from my childhood.

There's another song that was all about modeling called "Here Comes The Hotstepper" by Ini Kamoze. Great song, strange video the one made for the Prêt-à-Porter movie.

This was huge hit all over the world. #1 absolutely everywhere

us brits are nuts, I used to love this song... all tongue in cheek as other have said!!!

They looked like they were about half a second from breaking out laughing the whole way through the video. It must have been a blast while filming.
