The band has claimed that Beyoncé never asked them for permission to use their melody.
The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter's seventh album, "Renaissance," was released to critical acclaim in July and samples iconic house and disco artists. One song, "Alien Superstar," features a riff similar to the 1991 British pop band Right Said Fred's hit "I'm Too Sexy." Whereas Right Said Fred sang, "I'm too sexy for my shirt," Beyoncé sings, "I'm too classy for this world" and "I'm too classy to be touched.
"Normally the artist approaches us, but Beyoncé didn't because she is such an arrogant person she just had probably thought 'come and get me,' so we heard about it after the fact, when you did," the band said. "The comments made by Right Said Fred stating that Beyoncé used 'I'm Too Sexy' in 'Alien Superstar' without permission are erroneous and incredibly disparaging," the singer's representative told Entertainment Weekly on Friday.
