Sorry to have to correct you but it was Fred and Richard Fairbrass. ;)
Yeah Right Said Fred are well known over here in the UK, takiing their name from the Bernard Cribbins song of the 60s. They didn't do so well after 1993 so Richard Fairbrass got into television and was . . . mildly successful at best. They tried to come back with 'You're my mate' but haven't really capitalised on it.

Not at all, we all make mitsakes. ;D
The programme Richard Fairbrass hosted was a game activity show called 'The Desert Forges'. It was like the 'Crystal Maze' but rubbish. I don't think it went beyond a series over here if that.

I liked "Deeply Dippy" but that was about it.
Really didn't like "Stick It Out" - charity or no charity!

I agree with you. I suppose it was the lads attempt at innuendo, lol. I think the track was for Comic Relief in 1993.

Well, this is the only song of theirs I know, since it was their only big hit in the US. If there was a poll, I'd vote for that one.
I can see they had lots of hits in their native homeland.

I hate to admit it but it does bring up memories of high school :D. I believe a lot of people take it seriously and think they really think there so sexy. But I remember them talking about the song being a parody of their conceited body building model neighbor.
