When we first recorded "I'm Too Sexy" every record label rejected it. We couldn't get it signed, one label said it would never sell because the song starts with a vocal, and many of the execs never bothered to listen it. Then, it landed on Simon Bate's desk on... his Radio 1 Breakfast Show and also the Gary Crowley show on the BBC, it just went mental, the song was being picked up everywhere. It was an instant hit becoming #1 across the world including the US (Billboard Hot 100) making it the first debut single since The Beatles to achieve that chart position. "I’m Too Sexy" has reached the #1 spot in the US on the Billboard 100 four times now due to the re-works by Taylor Swift, Drake and Beyoncé. Happy birthday to "I'm Too Sexy" and a massive thank you to the fans and everyone who has supported us along the way.show more

I have read that it it cost around £1500 to make the track + £4000 for the music video and has made the lads £10 million. Even if those figures are well off, it's still a huge success. Not too shabby.

I grew up listening to this song in India and there was so much criticism of the song not being culturally appropriate or not being technically brilliant. They were all wrong. The song was stuck in our heads. Sexy was one of those words that was not a swear words but it was not in general conversation. Thank you to RIght Said Fred for giving us this iconic pop record and a sick beat.

Gwen Stefani wrote the lyrics to "Don't Speak" about the painful end of her seven-year relationship with bassist Tony Kanal. She initially struggled with releasing such a deeply personal song, but it became No Doubt's biggest hit, spending 16 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. Because it was never released as a commercial single in the US, it was ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100under Billboard's rules at the time.

"Need You Tonight" is a song by the Australian rock band INXS, released as the first single from their 1987 album, Kick, as well as the fourth song on the album. It is the only INXS single to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also achieved their highest charting position in the United Kingdom, where the song reached number two on the UK Singles Chart; however, this peak was only reached after a re-release of the single in November 1988. On its first run on the UK charts in October 1987, it stalled at No. 58. It was one of the last songs recorded for the album, yet it would arguably become the band's signature song.

“Push It” was originally released in 1987 as the B-side to "Tramp" before becoming an unexpected smash hit, following its success, it was added to later editions of Salt-N-Pepa's 1986 debut album Hot, Cool & Vicious. The track peaked at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100, #2 on the UK Singles Chart and #1 in the Netherland, earning the group their first Grammy nomination and helping establish female rap as a commercial force in the mainstream. Radio DJs began playing "Push It" instead of its intended A-side, prompting the group's label to quickly reissue the single with the song as the main attraction.

repost via clubredcircle: In 1991, when British pop was filled with divas, boybands and producers looking for the next big hit, three English men decided to laugh at it all: Right Said Fred — the brothers Richard and Fred Fairbrass along with guitarist Rob Manzoli — release I’m Too Sexy, a provocative mix of dance-pop, disco and camp mood. The song was born in 1990, inspired by the Fairbrass brothers' gym, and was written by Richard, Fred and Manzoli. They even had to fund the demo themselves after several labels rejected it. The single appeared in July 1991 and quickly became a phenomenon. In the UK it reached No.2, behind the unbeatable Bryan Adams, but the real bomb comes across the Atlantic: in February 1992 it reached No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"Don't You (Forget About Me)" was written by Keith Forsey and Steve Schiff specifically for The Breakfast Club (1985). Simple Minds were initially reluctant to record it because they preferred to perform their own material, and singer Jim Kerr was not particularly impressed with some of the lyrics. Before the Scottish band finally accepted the song, it had also been offered to other artists including Bryan Ferry and Billy Idol, both of whom turned it down. Eventually the band agreed to record the song after developing a friendship with Forsey, while Kerr's then-wife, Chrissie Hynde, also encouraged him to give it a chance. Released in 1985 and featured prominently in The Breakfast Club, the song became Simple Minds' biggest hit in the US, spending one week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1985. It was their only US chart-topper and also reached No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart. The famous "la-la-la-la" ending was improvised by Kerr during the recording session and was originally meant as a placeholder, but Forsey insisted on keeping it.

The Rolling Stones performing “The Last Time” on the Ed Sullivan Show. “The Last Time” was inspired by a 1955 gospel song called “This May Be The Last Time” by The Staple Singers. The Stones changed the song’s meaning, making it into a stern message to a girl. The Staples version had a more uplifting message and was much more spiritual. This decision angered many gospel fans who felt The Stones ripped it off since The Staple Singers never got any royalties from it. Since it is a traditional song (meaning no one owns the rights to it), many artists have recorded it, but The Stones was a very high-profile band that had success reworking songs by black artists into hits. Many people believe The Stones should have compensated The Staple Singers because it was based on their version of the song. In the 2003 book According to the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards wrote: “We didn’t find it difficult to write pop songs, but it was VERY difficult - and I think Mick will agree - to write one for the Stones. It seemed to us it took months and months and in the end we came up with The Last Time, which was basically re-adapting a traditional gospel song that the Staple Singers had sung, but luckily the song itself goes back into the mists of time. I think I was trying to learn it on the guitar just to get the chords, sitting there playing along with the record, no gigs, nothing else to do. At least we put our own stamp on it, as the Staple Singers had done, and as many other people have before and since: they’re still singing it in churches today. It gave us something to build on to create the first song that we felt we could decently present to the band to play... The Last Time was kind of a bridge into thinking about writing for the Stones. It gave us a level of confidence; a pathway of how to do it. And once we had done that we were in the game. There was no mercy, because then we had to come up with the next one. We had entered a race without even knowing it.”
