Deeply Dippy

The brothers Richard and Fred Fairbrass were an acoustic duo before teaming up with guitarist Rob Manzoli and becoming Right Said Fred. Their first two singles were whimsical dance songs: "I'm Too Sexy" and "Don't Talk Just Kiss." This mellow song is a return to their roots, with Richard Fairbrass singing a tender ode to a lady love. The song caught fire in their native UK, going all the way to #1. In America, however, it sank without a trace, leaving stateside audiences with the impression that Right Said Fred were one-hit wonders.

In our interview with Right Said Fred, Fred Fairbrass explained that this song started with the title. "We just liked the repetition," he explained. "We liked each verse starting with the title of the song. That was it, really. Nothing more than that. We just liked the nursery rhyme nature of it."

The horn section on this song was comprised of: Molly Duncan - saxophone Sid Gauld - trombone Neil Sidwell - trumpet Duncan is a founding member of the Average White Band.
