I'm Too Sexy

"I'm Too Sexy" is the title of a song by English trio Right Said Fred from their album Up. The single topped the American charts for three weeks in early 1992, after having peaked at number two in Britain less than six months earlier.

In the UK, the song equalled the record for the most weeks at number two without ever topping the chart, staying at number two for six weeks in a row while being famously held off the summit 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, its only other charting U.S. single peaking at No. 76. However, "I'm Too Sexy" was just the act's first of several hits on the British charts, including the No. 1 single "Deeply Dippy".

The song was rated No. 49 on "The 50 Worst Songs Ever! Watch, Listen and Cringe!" by Blender. In 2007, the song was listed as No. 80 on the VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s. It was also ranked No. 2 on VH1's 40 Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the 90s. Most recently, in 2010, the song was ranked at No. 8 on AOL Radio's list of the 100 Worst Songs Ever, with Matthew Wilkening advising the reader: "Next time the Brits try to knock our culture, just ask them where had four Top 30 singles in one year."
