Something like 'ok Fred - now you're a yagger yagger.' Don't know why it just came to me out of the blue.

I remember that song.....

Who was it by and what was it all about apart from fred and what is a yagger yagger?

Right said Fred, Have a cuppa tea

Thought right said fred sang deeply dippy and i'm too sexy

OK Fred, it was originally sang by John Holt around the late70s. It was done again in the 80s as well.

I think I remember the seventies one.

Actually the wonderful John Holt wrote that song about the Rock Steady music and Dance that was sweeping Jamaica at the time of 1968. Errol Dunkley from September 1979 (I have written on sleeve), bit of fun all about a guy who is a good dancer but also a yagga yagga being a talker a chatterbox, but boastful type. Ok Fred now you're a yagga yagga OK fred bully for you Pat x

It was a crap song though

No it wasn't tut. It was fun and a good track to dance to so was the DJ version 'A Tramp Is a Yagga Yagga' by Trinity. Errol didn't do as a good job as John Holt but then anyone would find it hard to beat John at singing any of his own songs that goes for 'THe Tide Is High' which has been murdered by the likes of Blonde, Atomic Kitten etc., ;-) Pat x

Oh and Lou that's where the rubbish group :-) Right Said Fred got their name from the wonderful Bernard Cribbons :-))) LOL Pat x

PAT - thank you!!!!! at long last I know who recorded this song - it has plagued me for over 26 years - it was out when I was carrying my son and it was THE song that summer . MWAH

Sheila I am really pleased my capacity for storing large amounts of trivial information & the way I can rabbit on about it has been of some use to someone :-) Pat x
