- <p> Chalk up another triumph for the science of packaging--a British trio monikered Right Said Fred and their half-sung,
- half-sighed single I'm Too Sexy, a high-camp lampooning of
- high-fashion models. Bolstered by a video featuring the
- weight-lifter bodies and Kojak-style craniums of performers
- Richard and Fred Fairbrass, I'm Too Sexy has sold 2.5 million
- copies. Now, Right Said Fred is touring the U.S. to flog its new
- album, Up. "All this promotion is a bit strange," says Richard.
- "We just wanted to earn a living recording music." And if Right
- Said Fred ends up a one-hit wonder? "There's no death penalty
- for records that don't chart."
