I remember when I first heard this and honestly thought it was just a joke. Now 15 years later, it's just as gay as it ever was, but I still don't know if this was serious or not.
 

I remember this when it first came out. Fred was openly gay at the time, and it was intended as a joke. Fred's still around, making club appearances and doing work with non-profit agencies in Britain. There's an updated version of the same song on YouTube. Only this time he keeps his shirt on. Thank God.
 

Hmmm, I don't know if it would be considered douche. When RSF did this, they acknowledged it was camp. True douche cannot see the difference. If you need retro douch video proof, I suggest you bring up anything by Cinderella or Goo Goo Dolls.
 

Luke.....I am your FATHER!
 

Way ahead of his time. RSF is the original DB1.
 

Yeah, like the others said, at least one of the two was gay, and it was intended to take the piss out of self-important, preening male model types.

So, while it certainly was an annoying ditty that was overplayed to the point of making you want to shove icepicks in your ears... the truth is that RSF was trying to fight the douche, just like us.


...Of course, an argument could be made that not enough people got the criticism or the joke, and it thus became seen by many as an endorsement of said baggy behavior, and an instigating force.

Hmm... could be one for the Great Debates.
 

Darth Vader, I've seriously heard that somewhere in the neighborhood of a hundred thousand times in 28 years. Funny, but....yeah...that's my real name. At least try to be original dude.
 

Wow. Way too be a little overly-sensitive there, Luke.
 

I'm too sexy to for my career.

I'm too sexy to for relevance.

I'm too sexy to write good songs.
 

thats clearly a parody not douche.
 

Can gay muscle men be douchbags? I didn't think so.
 

No douche here. Only gay gay parody. Move along now ... no douche here.
 

Yet Right Said Fred may have unintentionally inspired a young and impressionable Gator down the dark road he is now on....
 

Why'll it may have been meant as parody, they took it entirely too far, and either they had unholy psychic ability(too look into the future of bagdom), or somehow they have influenced the future of scrote for the better/worse? All I know is every single thing I looked at in that video is total baggery. and that in alone makes it bag.

there is one slight possibility that in 92 they were so far out there that everyone knew it was mirth, but we have sunk so low into the hell, that the scrote of today makes it seem almost plain. At which point i am forced to wonder about the future of our fair world.


P.S. i'm stoked about my first posted submission!!
 

no douche...sorry...gay musicians with little talent...
 

I agree, probably not douche.

However, if you owned the 'cassingle' and were not a twelve year old girl, YOU probably are a douche.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and dust my Huey Lewis and the News record collection.
