I'm Too Sexy

by Right Said Fred

Top hit from: 02.02 to 22.02.1992

"I'm Too Sexy" is a song by English trio Right Said Fred from their album Up. The single topped the American charts for three weeks in early 1992, after having peaked at number two in Britain less than six months earlier.
In the UK, the song equalled the record for the most weeks at number two without ever topping the chart, staying at number two for six weeks in a row while being famously held off the summit by Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You". (This equalled the previous record set by Father Abraham's 1978 hit "The Smurf Song".)
"I'm Too Sexy" is sung from the point of view of a self-satisfied fashion model. The song's lyrics express (over) confidence that his personal level of sexiness makes him too sexy for numerous things, most notably his shirt ("so sexy it hurts"). The list also includes "my love (love's going to leave me)", "Milan, New York, and Japan", "your party (no way I'm disco dancing)", "my car (too sexy by far)", "my hat (what d'you think about that?)", "my cat (poor pussy... poor pussycat)", and the song itself: "...and I'm too sexy for this song", at which point the song abruptly ends.
The song samples the guitar riff from Cozy Powell's 1974 hit

Lyrics

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful

Fame, fame, I love my calvins
Oh

I'm too sexy for my shirt
Too sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurts

And I'm too sexy for Milan
Milan, New York, and Japan

I'm too sexy for your party
Too sexy for your party
No way I'm disco dancing

I'm a model
Ya know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk
On the catwalk yeah I do my little turn on the catwalk

Don't hate me
I'm just like you but better looking
Don't hate me, please

I'm too sexy for my bike
Too sexy for my bike
Too sexy to hike

I can hike

And I'm too sexy for my hat
Too sexy for my hat
Whatcha think about that?

I'm a model
You know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the Catwalk
On the catwalk yeah
I shake my little toosh on the catwalk

Too sexy for my
Too sexy for my
Too sexy for my

'Cause I'm a model ya know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk
I shake my little toosh on the catwalk

I'm too sexy for my dog
Too sexy for my dog
Poor bow-wow-wog
(dog barks twice)

I'm too sexy for my "A"
Too sexy for my "A"
Dave's going to leave me!

And I'm too sexy for this song!
