Brand New Girlfriend is the second album from country music artist Steve Holy. It was released in 2006 on Curb Records. Prior to its release, Holy had charted five singles ("I'm Not Breakin'", "Rock-a-Bye Heart", "Put Your Best Dress On", "Go Home", and "It's My Time (Waste It If I Want To)") which were not released on albums, although they all charted.
The title track to Brand New Girlfriend became Holy's second Number One single on the BillboardHot Country Songs charts, a position that it held for one week. At the time, its thirty-six week climb to Number One was the slowest climb to Number One since the inception of Nielsen SoundScan in 1990. This record was broken one year later by Tracy Lawrence's "Find Out Who Your Friends Are", which reached Number One on its forty-first chart week. "Brand New Girlfriend" also reached No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 60 on the Pop 100.
Following the title track, two other singles — "Come On Rain" and "Men Buy the Drinks (Girls Call the Shots)" — were released from this album, both peaking in the lower regions of the top 40 on the country charts. Also included is a cover of "All for the Love of Sunshine", which was previously a Number One country hit for Hank Williams, Jr. (and the Mike Curb Congregation) in 1970, while the song "Wrap Around" was originally recorded by Keith Anderson on his 2005 album Three Chord Country and American Rock & Roll.
"Brand New Girlfriend" is a song written by Jeffrey Steele, Shane Minor and Bart Allmand, and recorded by American country music singer Steve Holy. It was released in January 2006 as the first single and title track from the album Brand New Girlfriend. The song, which took 36 weeks to reach number 1, set a record for the slowest climb to number 1 by a country single since Billboard started using Nielsen SoundScan data in 1990. The record has since been broken by Tracy Lawrence's "Find Out Who Your Friends Are", which reached No. 1 in its 41st chart week.
Background
Holy told CMT that when he heard "Brand New Girlfriend" for the first time, he liked it instantly. "It could have been my life story," he says. Then he amends the statement. "I won't say it was my life story, but it had all my sarcasm. It was almost as if this song was written for me. When I heard it originally, I was like, 'Man, this is it. This is a smash.'" Holy says he recorded it within 10 days or so after first hearing it. Next, he tried it live. "I really felt like it was a hit. I didn't know for sure. But when I played it on the road for about year, I saw the reaction. It's kind of amazing to have a song that gets a bigger reaction than your five-week No. 1."
Right Said Fred is a British band based in London and formed by brothers Fred and Richard Fairbrass in 1989. Guitarist Rob Manzoli joined the duo in 1990. The group is named after the song which was a hit for Bernard Cribbins in 1962. With over 20 million records sold worldwide, the group has achieved multi-platinum status and has also won two Ivor Novello Awards– for "I'm Too Sexy" (1991) and "Deeply Dippy" (1992). In 1993, Right Said Fred was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group.
History
1991–92: I’m Too Sexy and Up
In July 1991, the group released its début single, "I'm Too Sexy", on the independent London-based record label Tug Records. The track is a distinctive dance song which takes a gentle swipe at the fashion industry and features an instrumental break based on "Third Stone from the Sun" by Jimi Hendrix.
It was a huge hit in the United Kingdom, spending six weeks at number two in the charts behind Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", and three months in the Top 10. The song also went to number one in 32 countries including the United States where it topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song earned the band its first Ivor Novello award.
"Right Said Fred" is a novelty song written by Ted Dicks, and Myles Rudge, famously recorded as a single by Bernard Cribbins in 1962. It reached number 10 in the UK Singles Chart. It is about 3 men (the narrator, "Fred", and "Charlie") working as manual labourers who trying to move an unidentified object (although it is clarified that it has feet, a seat, handles and candleholders) in a building without success, eventually failing and giving up after having dismantled said object, part-demolished the building (including removing a door and wall) and taking numerous tea breaks.
Ted Dicks said that he was inspired to write the song by incidents that took place when he employed men to move a grand piano he had bought. Cribbins recorded it at the Abbey Road Studios, and sound effects were added by the producer George Martin, who would later become famous for his work with the Beatles.

[verse: 1] she said, "i need sometime to find myself, i need a little space to think. maybe we should start seeing other people. baby, things are moving way to fast for me." so, i, i picked up what was left of my pride, and i put on my walking shoes, and i got up on that high road, and i did what any gentleman would do.. i, um... [chorus] i got a brand new girlfriend. we went and jumped off the deep end, flew out to LA for the weekend, spent the whole day, lyin' on the beach, wearin' nothin' but a smile, playin' kissy-kissy, smoochy-smoochy, talkin' mooshy-mooshy bout nothin'. man, i think im on to somethin', yano i feel just like a kid again. i got a brand new girlfriend. [verse: 2] i love it when she calls me butter cup, laughs and says i left the toilet seat up, she pops and tosses me a cold beer, and says my buddies always welcome here. when i get hungry, she takes me out. i ride the shotgun like a shitzu hound. my tails a waggin', my tounges hangin' out, it makes me wanna shout... [chorus] wooo... cute, cute, cute... she likes to write our names in the sand. shes hearing wedding bells and making plans. shes gonna hang around a while i guess. she hasnt even told me she loves me yet. [chorus] she makes me feel just like a kid again,
