Subject: Right said Fred. how to buy From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 07 Sep 05 - 12:07 PM Next year (spring 2006) I am having a party to celebrate the 100th year of my piano, an 800-pound Ivors and Pond upright grand. I am going to ask talented friends to play pieces on it. For the finale, I plan to ask a friend to sing "Right said Fred," the 1962 song about three men moving a piano and destroying a building in the process. I already know that the lyrics are in the DT and the melody is in the Mudcat MIDI's. But I would like to purchase or download music that has the lyrics, melody and accompaniment all together. In other words, how can I produce sheet music that will resemble a piece of music that came from a music store? (It confuses things considerably that three guys started a band in 1991 and called their band Right said Fred.) Thanks ----- I am not really a Guest. |

Subject: RE: Right said Fred. how to buy From: Joe Offer Date: 08 Sep 05 - 01:57 AM Well, it's easy to find sheet music for "I'm Too Sexy," and then you can explain that it is by the group called "Right Said Fred." I can't find any U.S. sources for the song, Leeneia. The Plymouth Song Index lists three UK songbooks that have it - including Doug's Children's Funnyday Songbook. www.bookfinder.com didn't have a copy, either. To my embarrassment, my kids used to sing that "I'm Too Sexy" song when they were little... -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: Right said Fred. how to buy From: Midchuck Date: 08 Sep 05 - 09:11 AM I'm a little confused. I only know the song from Steve Gillette and Cindy Mangsen's singing. In that version, it is never stated just what the thing is that the guys are trying to move. That's part of what makes the song so funny. Do the original lyrics specify a piano? Peter. |

Subject: RE: Right said Fred. how to buy From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 08 Sep 05 - 09:18 AM Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to check libraries for the children's book and the 1001 hits. I'm surprised I can't download it from somewhere. dick greenhaus: The CD isn't that much help. I have a friend who can whip out any accompaniment known to man, but she needs the sheet music (or at least melody plus chords) to do it. I'm assuming that the chords for this song are pretty complicated - Tin Pan Alley/music hall types. Or as a friend of mine once said, "Those aren't chords; they're algebra." |

Subject: RE: Right said Fred. how to buy From: sapper82 Date: 08 Sep 05 - 05:33 PM Midchuck; The song does not mention what it was they were trying to move. The piano idea came from a BBC animation that accompanied the song on Crackerjack. |
