I’m Too Sexy – The Song

‘I’m Too Sexy ‘ is the debut single by British group Right Said Fred. The single peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart. Outside the United Kingdom, “I’m Too Sexy” topped the charts in seven countries, including Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the United States. The idea for the song came about when the Fairbrass brothers were running a gym in London where, according to Richard, there was “lots of narcissism and posing”. One day, he took his shirt off and started singing “I’m too sexy for my shirt” in front of a mirror as a joke. The band originally recorded it as an indie rock song.In the clubs, many people imitated their “catwalk” dance as seen on the video clip. The song received new popularity when it was adopted as the walk-in music by professional arts player Andy Fordham, who was also nicknamed ‘The Viking’.

Darts or dart-throwing is a competitive sport in which two or more players bare-handedly throw small sharp-pointed missiles known as darts at a round target known as a dartboard. Points can be scored by hitting specific marked areas of the board, though unlike in sports such as archery, these areas are distributed all across the board and do not follow a principle of points increasing towards the centre of the board. Though a number of similar games using various boards and rules exist, the term “darts” usually now refers to a standardised game involving a specific board design and set of rules. While being a professional shooting sport, darts is also a traditional pub game. Darts is commonly played in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, and recreationally enjoyed across the world.
