Who is right said fred

In , Right Said Fred celebrated their first No. After reaching the No. When the single was released overnight on August 25 they responded to her on Twitter saying, "Thank you taylorswift13 [heart] what a marvellous reinvention! The track credits all three members of the band as well as Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff. This is going to be a nightmare.

There was loads and loads of homophobia in Saint Lucia at the time, so we decided to leave. We were catching a plane back, sitting in this funny little airport. We heard the official Billboard announcement on the radio when we were in Florida. That was actually pretty amazing.

And then you had this pulverizing song that really stood out. It was a party anthem for the times.

Richard Fairbrass: A friend and I came out of a diner in the middle of nowhere, and walking towards us across the carpark were these two heavily leather clad blokes who had just got off their Harleys. I had no idea. Fred Fairbrass: To have an artist as big as Taylor Swift give you the thumbs up and introduce us to her fan base is amazing.

There was more to it than that. Richard Fairbrass: I think the weird thing with it was, it was a song that punters really liked, the public really liked, people really liked.

I think if our first record had been all about personal pain and suffering, we would be taken a lot more seriously as musicians. Newswire Powered by. Close the menu. Rolling Stone. Log In.
