Well, I don't suppose it will do their "career" any harm.

Right Said Fred promote white supremacy livestream with neo-Nazi leader

Right Said Fred shared a link on Telegram that led to a livestream full of neo-Nazis, conspiracy theories, and anti-vaxx misinformation.

Sounds from this like they may be anti-vaxx but didn’t mean to associate with the fash.

 

[Elpenor]

I'm too sexy for my Blackshirt?

The Corbyn defence, aka “really didn’t expect those people to be on this platform”.

They’re still dining out on a couple of shit songs that charted 30 years ago?

I posted this elsewhere yesterday, but l think it deserves a second airing in this context. Here are two lefty ladies, Maya Angelou, and Jessica Mitford, who were far too sexy for their blouses, giving their take in Right Said Fred.

Personally arguing with Richard Fairbrass over the whole vax thing has been one of the weirder things in the past 18 months for me, due to him being a close friend (recording/touring work) of a colleague.

how dare you, the Fairbrass brothers have been entertaining the country world for three decades now and i hate your attitude that just because you are too culturally ignorant to pay attention to their works you feel confident enough to say in public they are "dining out on a couple of shit songs". You should apologise. What have you done to further our culture?
I think you need to set some time aside and work your way through their 9 albums. Start with Fredhead.

I can’t work out if you’re being serious or not. However I won’t be wasting any time being culturally educated by anti-vaccine twats.

Still waiting for that apology

Nine albums over more than 30 years and the only song anybody knows is their debut single - are they the most persistent one-hit wonders ever?

They’re respected songwriters. They’ve written for Taylor Swift.

 

[killer b]

four top ten hits including two number 1s means they aren't a one hit wonder I'm afraid

They have only had one UK number 1 single and it wasn't the song everyone knows.

 

[platinumsage]

Not quite the Bee Gees though are they.

two. Deeply Dippy got to the top too.

two. Deeply Dippy got to the top too.

And won an Ivor Novello.

Lots of people aren’t the Bee Gees. Most, in fact.

two. Deeply Dippy got to the top too.

Which is their only UK number one. The “big hit” only got to number 2 iirc.

 

[platinumsage]

two. Deeply Dippy got to the top too.

I'm Too Sexy peaked at number two.

 

[High Voltage]

I'm not the Bee Gees

 

[tim]

I'm not the Bee Gees

Oh, yes you are!

 

[danny la rouge]

I'm Too Sexy peaked at number two.

It was covered by St Étienne, though.

 

[killer b]

oh yeah. whatever, they don't fulfil the one hit wonder criteria, which is a single high-charting song. They are a terrible band nontheless.

 

[killer b]

It was covered by St Étienne, though.

I think I have that on 12 inch somewhere. it isn't great.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

It’s a classic of the “good pub quiz question” genre… Name Right Said Fred’s number one hit

 

[killer b]

I have a jukebox of RSF hits running round my head now. Great stuff guys.

 

[ska invita]
