In the desert of 1990s economic depression this album was an oasis of upbeat, happy, carefree escapism. 23 years later it's still my 'run too' album when I just need to smile.
My Dad (stepdad) is terminal and this was one of the songs in the charts when my mum met him. I always called him deeply dippy because he had a bald head at the time. Proper uplifting song even he smiles when I play it
This song is so uplifting! It marks a turbulent chapter in my life but was one of the tracks that got me through the tough times... and still does 23 years later! Can't believe it's been 23 years :/ Where does the time go?!
Top song! Brings me back to the 90s before all the fun died. Richard is actually not only a great bloke but a great musician who played for Bob Dylan and David Bowie amongst many others. Max respect for Richard and the guys.
@@jrb4935 History 1989-1991: Formation Prior to forming Right Said Fred, the Fairbrass brothers had been playing music since the mid-1970s: as part of a band called The Actors, the brothers had toured with Suicide and supported Joy Division at the Factory club in Manchester.[2] The Fairbrass brothers formed the group in 1989, with Richard on lead vocals and bass and Fred on guitar. Prior to forming the group, Richard was employed as a session bassist for artists including Boy George, Mick Jagger[2] and David Bowie, and appears as the bass guitarist in Bowie's short film Jazzin' for Blue Jean.[3] In 1987, Fred appeared as a guitarist in the Bob Dylan vehicle Hearts of Fire.[2] The group was named after the novelty song "Right Said Fred", which was a hit single for singer and actor Bernard Cribbins in 1962. The Fairbrass brothers were originally accompanied by drummer Ray Weston and guitarist Dan Kruse. Weston left in 1990 to join the progressive rock group Wishbone Ash and Kruse left the next year. Guitarist Rob Manzoli joined in 1990 and remained with the group until 1997.
@sammyhill69 dEciMaTEd like gaza 🥴 I’d take the Thatcher’s 80s over a nearly white minority that gets arrested if they tweet negatively about packi rape gangs
I got a soft spot for "Right Said Fred" despite my punky/rock mainstream tastes...you need a bit of sunshine and a cheeky wink in the music mix at times..
Saw these live 2 days ago in birmingham... Richard used a kazoo for the brass solo, then after the song me and another feller went on stage in a competition to see who played kazoo best. I won, and got a signed cd/dvd!
@@chrisjayne4746 a CD/DVD, you know? Like a combined package of the two? Stop the World being the CD, Night of the Living Fred being the DVD. Doubt away, it's fucking hilarious that you'll drag something up from nearly 11 years ago to doubt it. But oh well... If it makes you happy.
How can you Not like these guys.... this is a dippity do da happy go lucky song...that jams... Great Instrumentals... very very upbeat on a crappy day... ole!!!
I loved this song. I was always a bit of a fan of the more daggy bands and singers and Right Said Fred were perfect for me. Happy happy memories. I am deeply dippy...
first time hearing this was summer of 1992 on a road trip with my family to Toronto zoo! So when I hear this song, it brings me right back to that moment with us all squished in the tiny car on our 3 hour drive to the big city...those were the days
I remember singing this with my sisters in the nack of the ar on the way home from dinner with my grandmother in the back with is. I was 13, it 1992, we were so loud. It was awesome.
It reminds me of dancing in the living room with my mum before my sister was born and ruined my life 😂 jk ...the 90s were the high point of my life , I wish I could go back
Considering some of the clothes worn in the video, I think the one line should be "I can't make head nor tail of fashion". I lived in London when this song was released in '92 and heard it everywhere. When I came back to the US no one had ever heard the song. Interesting how one song and/or group can soar in one country but fall flat in another. I've always liked "Deeply Dippy"; it's a fun and catchy tune.
They only had one hit in America, I'm Too Sexy. On the other hand Deeply Dippy was their only number 1 hit in the UK, and is a lot better. For one, it's an actual song and not a gimmick. But that usually happens, the UK charts are a higher barometer of quality than the US ones.
Commenting to up rate - thanks for standing up. Strange world - Right said Fred raging against the machine and Rage Against the Machine are see outs. Crazy times
One song that I absolutely love that cheers me right up and makes me feel good again whenever I feel down I can always count on right said Fred to get me through the day and turn things in to a brighter day!!
Haha, this was my first tape on a cassette player my sister got me. I was in love with Richard, took me about 5 years to realise he was not feminine inclined 😂😊
When I re-discovered them two years,had only heard a few songs years ago,but than heard no more of RSF,I had a crush on Richard. I would get butterflies. Than I read a post and could not believe his preference. Hahahah. I noticed Christopher however and now I have a big crush on Christopher aka Fred. Hmmmmm my post does not make sense,well whatever. :)
There were a lot of cheesy acts in the 90's that I don't care to revisit, but you can't help but like these guys.
@@scinformation7229 I did and I agree with pretty much everything they said.
@@Antihero297 that he was too sexy for his shirt?
And the girls weren’t bad either
Especially now.
@@isobelswan yep

I know where exactly your coming from matey, nostalgia can be SOOO uplifting
I should have said "psych", I time travel, but just not physically, so 50% right?
Will Scarlett Sure, these times have long gone!
Lovely. X
Ur gay
I remember arriving in Cardiff in '92, aged 14, on a flight from Ireland, Shakespeare sister was also in the charts as well as this legend of a song 🎵
Ebenezeer Goode and Evapor8 were also in the chart
My Dad (stepdad) is terminal and this was one of the songs in the charts when my mum met him. I always called him deeply dippy because he had a bald head at the time. Proper uplifting song even he smiles when I play it
Two lads who didn’t take themselves too seriously or sell out! So bad it’s brilliant. Good on em!
We hold these guys close to our hearts here in England. A joyous romp. And 2 stellar men of character. I adore this song.
My dad, when his feelings are bad, sometimes he turns on this song and starts dancing.
I also like this positivity.
Cats In The Cradle calms him down.
This song is so uplifting! It marks a turbulent chapter in my life but was one of the tracks that got me through the tough times... and still does 23 years later! Can't believe it's been 23 years :/ Where does the time go?!
Echo beach
Make that 29 (now in 2021).
I think it fly's as you get older
I loved this song when I was a 12 year old boy in 1991/92!
Top song! Brings me back to the 90s before all the fun died. Richard is actually not only a great bloke but a great musician who played for Bob Dylan and David Bowie amongst many others. Max respect for Richard and the guys.
What did he do with Bob Dylan?
Never knew he played with Bowie or Dylan

It was far from a fun time. The UK had been decimated by Thatcher.

my late mother loved these boys good harmless fun
They were so much fun to listen to. I LOVE the album!!
Right said Fred so laid back
should have been a eurovision entry
This song makes me feel so happy and free....
should have been a eurovision entry
A GREAT SONG BY A GREAT BRITISH BAND
1:24 That instrumental break is one of the best in music history 🎺🎺🎺🎺
Agree
Don't tell the hood I'm here
But I love this song😁
🤣🤣🤣 I think it’s a guilty pleasure for many!
you have the hoodest name too
🤣🤣 I'm into rock but that just kept coming into my head n had listen 5 or 6 times good pop music is good pop music lol
❤
I've woke up today randomly singing this song! And just reliased it's deeply dippy. Always thought it was deeply deeply
Can’t stop watching this
Still a amazing song! So simple yet so effective
Just goes to show songs don't need to be complicated to be effective
I got a soft spot for "Right Said Fred" despite my punky/rock mainstream tastes...you need a bit of sunshine and a cheeky wink in the music mix at times..
@Jeremy Corbyn Naw..I'm interspecies mate..try getting your brain to understand that one!.
I was just gonna say the same thing, from an Old Punk Rock/Heavy Metal freak ;P
oh my love... yes xxxx
@@stevechristie2569 hahaha what gave it away?
@@scorchioD telepathy. Seduce me.
This hit from Right Said Fred was the 449th #1 song of the Rock Era in the United Kingdom.
yes and their only number one
When pop was pop.
Nostalgia 😊
Great music love trumpets ❤❤
Saw these live 2 days ago in birmingham... Richard used a kazoo for the brass solo, then after the song me and another feller went on stage in a competition to see who played kazoo best. I won, and got a signed cd/dvd!
Make that 10 years and 2 days ago now :)
What was it, a CD or DVD? Doubting your whole story now to be honest
@@chrisjayne4746 a CD/DVD, you know? Like a combined package of the two? Stop the World being the CD, Night of the Living Fred being the DVD.
Doubt away, it's fucking hilarious that you'll drag something up from nearly 11 years ago to doubt it. But oh well... If it makes you happy.
@@kieranbott Night Of The Living Fred is an amazing title. Must try to find this.
@@kieranbott I'm glad that you got to be on stage with the brothers :) they are wonderful blokes
Honestly one of the best songs I’ve ever heard x
How can you Not like these guys.... this is a dippity do da happy go lucky song...that jams... Great Instrumentals... very very upbeat on a crappy day... ole!!!
I loved this song. I was always a bit of a fan of the more daggy bands and singers and Right Said Fred were perfect for me. Happy happy memories. I am deeply dippy...
I had to think what I was searching for but I remembered how could I forget
1992 was a weird year for music. The trends of the 80s had died out, but the 90s hadn't really found its identity yet.
The 90's ended up being schizo for music...
@@jpkm123g9 Late 90's sucked.
I think 1991 was more of a weird year. "Rhythm Is A Dancer" was the one that really kicked off the the following year.
92 certainly had found its identity,where were you?!?!
Yeah you're right.
I think everyone likes a cheesy song with catchy lyrics. Makes you proud to be British.
first time hearing this was summer of 1992 on a road trip with my family to Toronto zoo! So when I hear this song, it brings me right back to that moment with us all squished in the tiny car on our 3 hour drive to the big city...those were the days

At the start of the video when he sings, "deeply dippy about the curves you've got". It's the top of a chair he's looking at!!
Its a fun song! obviously they don't give a fuck what others think of them-good on them!
There's always some Twat with zero taste who will like any shit act out there, I guess.

I make a reference to this song at least once a week. It's been a solid in my life since I first heard it in the 90s. That was a banging summer.

I don’t care what Todd thinks, I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for days.
I love the 90s id love to live my teens again
I've got a basset hound and his ears go on for miles and miles 😂😂😂
Are we related?
Who??
The 1990s was a excellent decade for music and film's
It was only good up to 1996. Then it all went downhill.
92 if I remember correctly. Time goes very quick. I was 17 then, now I'm 47.
Yeah; same here. Can't believe it's been 30 years! 😨
should have been a eurovision entry
+fruitcake4t still could be as a cover!
If this were released now it would be more successful. It's only cos of stereotypes that it didn't do as well. The world is a more open place nowadays
Should be the National Anthem 🇬🇧
Steve Crean
This was very successful in the UK at the time. And it wouldn’t do better now because this is a shit song.
@@stevecrean675 it was succesful lol
Great people. Standing up for freedom.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Reminds me of my holiday when i was a kid! Still love this song now 💙
Same here Natalie where was the holiday
@@hikeaholick Greece 😊
their best song
This song makes me feel so happy and free....
Yeah good old music
charisma - that's what they have. And talent.
I didn't remember this song. Good to listen to it again
This is one of those songs I bet where the karaoke sounds exactly like the original...
Lol so true
... a contact sport let the neighbours talk. Miles then miles... 🙂 Celú Petržalku sme zobudili... Thx man 🙂
A GREAT SONG BY A GREAT BRITISH BAND
Lovely song!
it's terrible
guaranteed to brighten any morning...shut up and enjoy!! Euro-African and Billy Lee you got it!
How good is this - !!! Love it - lovely guys, great music, beautiful voice. Thank you Right Said Fred xx
I remember when Hale and Pace did this- it was ‘dip you egg’ 😂
RSF had some great catchy songs but this is definately my absolute fave... love it ❤
I remember this song. It was a Top 20 Hit here in Germany in 1992.
Those were days..
I still remember the song. Very funky
Great song 👍
This was when London still felt like London.
Peak Covent Garden times on film here. London, the West End was fabulous in the 90's.
dog whistle much?
@@rooflessmofo When it still felt like it was in England.
Before the muds took over….
@@lawrencestimpson6669 what a disgusting thing to say.
2021 and I still play this album from time to time 😂
This WHOLE album got me through prison, and beyond. Thanks for sharing this.💚💜🔥
I hope you didn't dress like RSF in prison.
@@jrb4935 🤣🤣
Please re release this!!! 🙏
This is so bad and so good at the same time. Loved right said Fred when I was 10
Right said Fred so laid back
Nostalgia. Great days.

Listening to this..... may be after around 25 years!

This was an ivor novello winning song ..love it
First album I ever bought with my own money, I was 8! Loved it!
More importantly do you still own it?
Miss these happydays.
One song that I absolutely love that cheers me right up and makes me feel good again whenever I feel down I can always count on right said Fred to get me through the day and turn things in to a brighter day!!
this takes me to a vey specific time ...oh yes its clear now how special the 90s really were
Insanely catchy
Fabulous Tune ! 👍 😍 🇬🇧
Love this, sooo uplifting 🎉
One of few bands left with any credibility in today's world.

I had this on cassette as a kid. I played it till it disintegrated! 🤣🤣🤣
Loved this song!!
This is fucking amazing
Beautiful song
One of those happy get everyone to sing along jobs, love it! Similar but not the same as 'I would walk 500 miles....'
I love all types of music but this is a great tune
A surprisingly good album, fooking love this song!!!
When the charts meant something ❤️
Amazing tune that came out in the recession misery of early 1990's Britain
ua-cam.com/video/vRTNrH01wdY/v-deo.html
Love this song 😊
Puts a massive grin on my face. Carefree 90's, no identity politics, no fascism masquerading as democracy. Individualism was celebrated back then.
Still an absoluter banger
Great fun tunes
Legends ...speakin out bout the shitshow....
Amazing song … Alright🎉
No matter what music you are into, I dare to bet you love Right Said Fred.
hermosa sanción, hermosos recuerdos, gracias.
Es sierto
just lov this.....
still love this
Loved growing up in the 90s. X
